*FasTrac: Continuation...

Meguiars also produces foam pads but so far i have only tried 5 of them...

Cut N Shine wool pad - this is basically Megs standard for serious to moderate paint removal, once done properly you could actually end up with very few and very light compounding scratches with this wool pad, i'm very happy with their wool pad since it can really good fast but it doesn't leave that much defects to remove after which is like a dream when compared to using 3m and LC

LC counterpart - all wool pads

Soft Buff Burgundy pad - this is their cutting pad and this is good for using heavy to medium polishes, this works great on finishing up your paint after using the wool pad, it removes moderate swirl marks and light scratches. This can also be used for moderate oxidation and in short all other moderate defects on the paint. This pad usually leaves you a very nice finish already.

LC counterpart - yellow and orange cutting pad

Soft Buff Yellow pad - this pad is ideal for using light and fine polishes to further improve the gloss of the paint. this pad can remove very fine swirls and scratches as well as hazing and very fine micro marring.

LC counterpart - White pad

Soft Buff V2.0 Black pad - this pad is quite a versatile pad, its basically pretty much like the beige pad but is better than the beige pad in terms of jeweling and burnishing the paint to a high gloss

LC Counterpart - Black pad

Soft Buff beige pad - this is their finishing pad, this can be used for ultra fine finishing polishes in jeweling and burnishing the paint as well as applying sealants and waxes, this in some cases can also be used to remove LSP's

LC counterpart - Red and Blue pad
