Link is in my product thread. On my phone so too much work.

Google "optimum microfiber pads" or search for them at autopia-carcare.com

So what is the big difference between the two pads? I am going to try to do some polishing tonight with the info from you guys. Thanks for all the help. I will let you know how it turns out.

Interesting, does the one pad not get too hot for you?

That was my problem, so now I tend to use 2 per car which to me is the sweet spot.

No... And how long does it take it to cool down?

I would imagine probably takes a few minutes to cool down.

CamaroDeams07, I noticed that they only sell a cutting and polishing pad...does this eliminate the need to switch between multiple CCS pads depending on the application?

Yeah you can do a two stage polish for 95% of jobs.

Great...one last question, have you had any caking issues with the microfiber?

No. Get a nylon pad brush and hold it against the pad while it's spinning after every body panel or so. This cleans it and fluffs it back up.
