orange pad is designed for polishes, swirl removers, and micro fine compounds.  It is suitable for repair or swirl marks, water spots, light to moderate oxidation and minor scratches.

white pad polishes the paint using pre-wax cleaners, cleaner waxes, and finishing polishes.  This dense pad provides even product application and very light cleaning ability The white foam lightly polishes the paint without abrading clear coat or single stages.

gray pad is designed for applying glazes, waxes and sealants.  The composition is firm enough to remove buffer swirls but soft enough to gently apply nonabrasive products on all types of paint. 

blue pad is designed for applying liquid waxes, sealants, and finishing glazes. The soft, absorbent foam will not scratch clear coated or single stage paint finishes. 

red pad is ideal for applying the final coat of wax or sealant. The foam works particularly well when applying liquid waxes or sealants because it is firm enough to keep the majority of the product on the paint, rather than soaking it up. The red foam has no cut or cleaning ability.
