Buff and Shine Green Foam Polishing Pad - 5.5 Inch

This pad is actually my favorite cutting pad. Long after stiffer orange and yellow pads go soft, and lose their mojo, this pad starts off at a medium density, yet retains it's scrubbing power - thanks to a network of 60ppi open cell foam. Out of all the pads in it's range, it features the largest pore structure, and when combined with a heavy cut compound, like Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, M100, or Menzerna FG400 it can level defects in one set. If this doesn't do the trick, I'm switching to microfiber.

Be advised that it can load up quickly, thus frequent cleaning is a must.

For polishing, I wouldn't finish polish with it. Paired with Ultimate Polish, or M205 it makes for a great one step application. If you want great follow up gloss, use their blue pad.

I have a 6 pack of these pads that I reserve for AIO jobs, usually using BlackFire One Step. This pad handles abuse remarkably well, and because the foam is a lower density but sharper foam, it corrects surprisingly well while finishing as well as any other lighter foam pads. The open cell structure cleans out easily with a brush while using a heavy and thick product like an AIO, and keeps working without deforming or separating from the backing pad because it stays cool more easily, especially in combination with a vented backing plate. Do recommend!!
