Well she just arrived to day! I ran home at lunch to try her out quick on my black R1. I haven't done a good polish on her yet this year and there were a few fine scratches here and there. WOW! not only did it get out the fine scratches but it added so much more depth to the paint! It has some metalic in it too which just sparkled! It used to take a long time to hand polish the bike...and it was to hard to use my normal buffer with all the funky curves on it. Can't wait to try it out on a car with some paint in need of help. So far I give it 2 thumbs up! [sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

Well the pads came in a clear bag with no markings what so ever....so I really don't know what kind they are? The only foam pads I've ever used are 3M, Meguires and Car Brite but they were all on a rotary buffer. I'll give a more in depth review after I've used it on a few customer vehicles.

Well superior car care carries Lake County pads, so my guess is that's what you got. If so this is their cut order:

Yellow - high cut
Orange - medium cut
White - polishing pad (low to medium cut)
grey/black - finishing pad (no cut)
Blue - wax/sealant application or removal pad.

I think in their kit you get one orange, two white, 3 grey? If so that's a solid start. I might get one yellow and one more orange in the future. I use the orange the most for swirl removal, yellow for tough jobs, white for finishing and light cleaning (AIO, etc) and grey for glazes.
