I find that Lexus paint doesn't really require that bad of a cutting pad or polish. I got rid of mine with a combination of the yellow and orance LC pad with Menzerna IP. Like I said before, brillo pad ftl

It reflects the level of cut. CCS pads from LC usually have yellow and orange as the highest level of cut. White usually has light cutting power. White and other many other colors are usually used as finishing pads for like your finishing polishes. Pads like these or with no cut could be used to apply glazes, waxes and sealants.

Default Total Cost of a Porter-Cable 7424

To All:

What are the items that should be included in purchasing a Porter-Cable 7424 polisher? Also, who has the best deal on it?

Thanks to all.
