The Orange and yellow are concave in the middle and the others are all flat. Can anyone tell me why? Remember...I am a newbie and stupid...

Another full frontal.....



Well thats is guys.....I have other products on order from other sites.....I thought I would spread it out a little amongst everyone.
Tonight will be reading the owners manual and also some more tips from all of these fine sites. I am exited and anxious to get started......First order of business will be a full wash and clay. Can anyone tell me why the orange and yellow pads are concave? By the way......what brand name are these pads with the kit. Shipping invoice did not say...Anyway......looks like I am off to a good start. Thanks for looking.......

Congratulations!

Actually, what they left was supposed to deliver to my house. They just left it at yours because of the extreme cold here in Ankeny.
Try to keep everything together and I will have U.P.S. pick it up the first warm day in Iowa.
