Re: POLL - "Standard" Color of Foam Finishing Pads
I voted black because so one told me that way back. I also heard red was standard? Who knows. It probably is nothing. Everyone seems to use there own standard. I'm pretty confident in saying that Tan isn't

Re: POLL - "Standard" Color of Foam Finishing Pads
I think he is asking us what we think (our opinions - thus the poll) of when we think of a polishing pad. If I get where you are going with this Mike... yes, I think Meguiars should change their polishing pad to white or gray. Those seem to be the more popular and accepted colors for polishing pads. But my vote was for white. LC, Sonus and Edge all use this color as well as several other smaller manufacturers.

Re: POLL - "Standard" Color of Foam Finishing Pads
I voted for black as I know of two brands that use black. but yeah, I wish they'd come up with an ISO-esque color for foam pads too - but then I guess every body would have to comply to a definite number of pad aggressiveness too.
hmm...
how about Brown, Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Gray, Indigo - say, for a certain aggressiveness scale.
.02But that's just me. Hope that helped though...

Re: POLL - "Standard" Color of Foam Finishing Pads
You know what I noticed the other day, the new Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 Foam Finishing Pad is now black? Hmmmmm.. That's strange Mike Pennington asked us the question and Meguiar's switched there Finishing pad from Tan to Black. I noticed it a while back I guess I never really paid attention since I still have a bunch of new "old" style pads. Yeah Mike P., why did Meguiar's decide to change the colors?

Sure would be nice though to have one industry-approved standard for coloring...

Re: POLL - "Standard" Color of Foam Finishing Pads
Agreed!
I WISH there were standard pad colors that crossed all manufacturers.
E.G. When reaching for an orange pad or a black pad from different manufacturers I would like to know (without have to think or having to double check) that one is for polishing and one is for finishing. The orange pad from different folks may have special vendor specific characteristics but I would like to know orange is for polishing and black is for finishing etc. I vote for standard colors!
