So im going to be ordering a PC 7424xp tomorrow and just want to double check to make sure I'm getting the right pads. They are the LC CCS pads btw.
Products being used: (All megs)
M26 - Blue?
NXT 2.0 wax - Blue?
Deep Crystal Polish - White
Cleaner Wax - Green
Swirl X - Orange
Scratch X 2.0 - Yellow

The ones im really unsure about are the waxes. Also Ill be getting 8 pads, because there is a special so I can double up on some.

 

You're kind of on the wrong track with your logic...you have chosen the most aggressive pad in combination with the most aggressive product. That's kind of a double whammie! You should be experimenting with the least aggressive product that will do the job, so it really depends on what you're working with. A really good polish on a white, or even a green pad may do the job. A really bad job would work with that same polish on an orange pad. Scratch X on a yellow pad would probably take the paint off...JK, but you would be creating work. If you had something sooo bad you needed that combo, you would have to use something just to clean up the damage left behind by scratch-X/yellow pad. I consider myself a pro and don't even own a yellow pad in my inventory. Just a thought, but main point is experiment with the least aggressive step to accomplish your goal.

 

Are these products you have laying around, or are you ordering? I'd think you could get better than that. If that is what you have, I don't think the cleaner wax step is needed if you're just going to polish it away with the Deep Crystal polish (is this a polish or a glaze?). BTW, is it Scratch X or Scratch X 2.0?

Either way, agree with above comment. On cars that need 105, I can usually get away with using it with a white pad. Then 205 on a white pad (don't always do this), followed by 205 on a black pad. Glazes I do with a black or gold pad, whichever is clean, then wax by hand.

In your case, I'd get 1 orange, 3 white, 2 black, 2 blue. Orange just in case, whites (your main workhorses) for Scratch X, Swirl X, black for polish/glaze and cleaner wax, blues or reds for the waxes.

Just my suggestion.

 

Good thing I asked before ordering! The reason I chose those pads was because of the descriptions on the site.
The cleaner wax is being used on the DDs while my truck and the bimmer get the full detail
And its scratch X 2.0

 

I would also reconsider and perhaps choose the Griots buffer over the PC. Really good reviews on the Griots.
