I have a quick question,

If your using a wax with some polishing oils is it best to use the black or blue pad to work the product in?

My understanding is the blue pad is used for a LSP product only?

Im looking to try the following with my wifes Acadia.

Wash
Clay
m105
m205
m7 (thinking about it)
NXT 2.0
Gold Class w/nuba

Im curious if I use the black pad after the NXT if im just going to take it off? Or if I should just use the blue pad and slowly work in the gold class

 

You're doing an awful lot of steps -- more is not always better -- and I'm not sure why you'd use Gold Class over NXT (instead of a pure wax), but you'll be fine with either black or blue pad.

If you were using a light polish, I'd say black, but black can be also used with waxes.

After M105 and M205, I'd either go with M7 and a pure wax; or NXT (though I like FX SynWax better) and stop there, with the option of a pure wax.
