Theres a section in the sticky that covers the types of pads and what they're used for. It also provides some links to the vendors that sell them. I have lake country yellow, orange, white and black pads in different sizes but I hardly use the yellow and black pad. Any wax or sealant I apply by hand.

Our selection includes the following Lake Country 6.50" diameter varieties:

Yellow-($9.99) "medium grade cutting" foam for stubborn scratch and blemish removal.

Orange-($10.99) "light-cutting/heavy polishing" foam for use after the yellow foam pad. For use with swirl removal micro-abrasive products. Can also be used as the base pad for use with the microfiber bonnets to remove product residue.

White-($9.99) "light polishing" pad may be used after the orange pad to improve clarity to the paint surface.

Blue-($9.99) "final finishing" foam pad for use in applying last step products such as sealant, glazes or liquid waxes. No cutting ability with this foam pad.

See them all in the Porter Cable section at www.tropi-care.com.

For questions, contact us toll-free at (866)341-0050 or steve@tropi-care.com

Check out Adams polish. I would post the link but it would get deleted. I get all my stuff from him and hes a great guy I talked to him for alittle bit in person. If you want the link send me a pm. Everything you need to know about car caring is on his site and I mean everything video steps and all very helpful.
