Yellow LC pads? - 04-11-2009, 10:32 PM

Do any of you use the yellow LC pads on your PC or G110 for more cut than the orange pads? If so what do you think of them compared to orange? Big defect removal improvement?

Thanks

I find they can cause more marring than removal of defects ...

So do you just go as far as orange with the PC and if more cut is needed from the pad step up to the rotary?

That's what I do.

I've never found a good reason to use the yellow one.

i personally didnt notice much difference between my 4 inch yellow and 4 inch orange flat cutting pads with both M105 and SSR2.5 and both tests were with cleaned pad so i donno maybe its cuz im new but it looked the same but yes i would prefer to use my PFW pad and the orange one ... but if i need a clean pad to cut with the yellow would be a last choice from what ppl are saying about it

I never thought that the 2.5 was the correct polish to use with the yellow LC pad. I was always under the impression that you should use ssr 3 with that pad. However, I do not not own a LC yellow pad, so I really have no experience with that.
