    Re: which pads? im new!!!

    3 pads really. Orange, white, and black for the Lake County line. For Meguiar's, polishing and finishing pads should be all you need. For 95% of what you're doing, SwirlX on either a White LC or a Polishing Meg's should take care of your corrections. What DA are you getting? 5.5 pads and 6.5 pads are what you'll be looking at. Some like 5.5 because they do faster correction since the pad doesn't bog the machine down as much as a 6.5. But the 6.5 pads are ideal for applying waxes.
