What is the material difference between a pad for glazing or waxing. Does it really matter which one you use? I bought a PC and it came with foam pads. I am not really sure what application these pads are for.

pads
What is the material difference between the two pads? Are they both foam or what?Comment
-
Both foam, different cell construction.
Certain pads are more abraisive than others.
If the PC came withthe white pad that has the thread post on the back, I have been told not to use it for polishing. It is OK as a backer for a MF bonnet, but should not be used on the paint directly.Comment

Does the color of the pads tell you what they are to be used for? I have three colored pads, yellow, Dark Gray and White. There are no numbers on them telling what they are to be used for.Comment

My Meguiars PC came with a yellow foam pad and I think a white one. When ever I see someone using a PC (pics online) they are always using a yellow pad. Can the yellow pad be used for all products? I understand you need a different pad for each product.Originally posted by JSUPER

You need to find out who made your pads, and then try to figure out what they are used for.Originally posted by JSUPER

Of the three different types of pads I have, yellow tends to be a cutting pad, white polishing and blue is a finishing. However, I have another finishing pad that isn't blue. So knowing who made them will be key in figuring it out.Comment

For Meguiar's pads:
9006 Finishing Pad (Peach)
-the softest foam used for LSP
8006 Polishing Pad (yellow)
-has cutting action to remove minor paint defects so used with paint cleaners, DACP, polishes
7006 Cutting Pad (red)
-hardest of the 3 and has the most cutting action
-not recommended by Meguiar's to be used with the PC, but most people use it with the microfiber bonnet to remove wax
