Default PC 7424XP white pad

I got a PC 7424XP polisher and was curious about the white pad that came with it. What is this pad good for? Could I use it with regular liquid waxes and gentle swirl removers and glazes or is this pad more for cutting?

The white pads that I have are for polishing. They have a light cutting ability. Now, there is no uniform color code for the pads. Do you know the pad manufact?

I used mine to apply wax or sealant....cut it on speed 2 or 3 and go. I'm pretty sure its a finishing pad, not that aggressive. Mine worked great till a piece of trim decided to eat it.

I throw that one way. Get you a good set of Lake Country pads. Adam's Polishs is a sponsor here and can hook you up.

Could you use it with a wool bonnet? I am guessing thats more along the lines of what it is for.

I'm about to buy a PC and was planning on throwing it away or seeing if I could use it for something else. I'm getting some LC pads too.
