Orange Light
Cutting Applicator – The orange foam is the most popular type of
foam used in making buffing pads. It has a texture like memory foam but
denser. It can be used to remove light to moderate swirls with little or no
loss of surface gloss. Use a light swirl remover, such as XMT Ultra Fine
Swirl Remover 1 or XMT Fine Swirl Remover 2. In most cases, you can go
straight to wax application with the red applicator. Use the orange pad for
spot correction or on the entire vehicle. |

White Polishing
Applicator – For general polishing and pre-wax cleaning, we
recommend the white polishing foam. This is one of the most versatile foam
compositions. Use it to apply finishing polishes, pre-wax cleaners, and all
in one products, for example Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion or Klasse
All In One. The foam is less dense than the orange pad. It has just enough
density to help clean and polish the paint, but it will not produce haze. |

Red Ultra Soft
Finishing Applicator – The red foam is designed specifically for
the application of waxes, sealants, and glazes. It has no cut or cleaning
ability. The soft foam will not leave any haze and it is gentle on all
automotive surfaces. Use the red foam applicator with any last step product
to product a smooth, flawless finish. |

Gold Jewelling Applicator - Use the gold pad to apply a very fine polish or glaze as the final step of the polishing process. Jewelling is the term coined for this step because it intensifies gloss and reflectivity, like a jewel. The gold foam pad also works well for wax and sealant application. |
