White vs Blue LC Pad

Gig103 · 08-16-2010, 06:03 PM

I was wondering what the difference is? I bought a white pad to apply sealant and now I think I'm reading that I should have gotten the blue?

Blue is much softer as to not marr the paint. White is more of a light polishing pad and is stiff enough that it doesn't easily bend on panels without pressure - meaning it won't be the preferred pad to apply your favorite sealant.
I'd recommend ordering a couple of blue pads as you're more likely to seal your car than to do a full polishing job on her. Hope this helps!

Alrighty, thanks for the update!

I would definitely go with the black/blue pads for applying sealant. As said above, white is still a light cutting pad.
