Good info on there. I am in the process of looking to be more involved in my car care paint finish and have been reading about what is best.

My main questions come from exactly what pad to use for a Polish and for Waxing/Sealants. Also, has anyone used the Mothers 3 step program ive read about? Basically just a prewax cleaner, glaze and wax..
Also, when you are going to buff off the residue from polishes/waxes, do you have to do this by hand (Microfiber Towel) or can you put on a microfiber bonnet on the polisher to do this? Thanks for any info...
The color coding on the pads seem pretty universal -- white for very light correction, yellow for more umph, etc. The blue or red pads are good for applying wax or sealant. You can use a microfiber bonnet to remove the wax residue, but it's easier to just do it by hand since the bonnet gets saturated with wax very quickly and needs to be changed to be effective.
