Hi SpotDog,

I would use the 8006 pad for the bulk of your cleaning chores, and as you said, the 9006 pad is for last step products, such as NXT, and can also be used for pure polishes.

Be sure buy more pads, as you will need a dedicated pad for each product...There is a part # for (2) 8006, & (1) 9006 pad combo for about $25.00 from Meguiars, but I can't find my consumer catalog to give it to you just yet...(Call Meguiars and ask about it.)

As for the 7006 cutting pad, I have 2 of them for tough jobs, but I hear some say that it is not a good idea to use this pad with a PC, as it will dull the finish somewhat.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one for a badly scratched, or oxidized finish, but I don't think that I would use it on a mildly scratched car.
