Hey guys, I need some help figuring out which pads are best suited for each detailing product. Here are the pics of the pads I have. Keep in mind I have a super cheap Turtle Wax buffer thingy. I already know which pad to use to apply wax and remove wax, but am unsure what to do with two other pads (the yellow two). Here's a pic:

On the left is wax applicator, which I assume could be used to apply SMR and polish, but maybe not. The white cotton pad I use to remove wax/other products. The next I don't have a use for, and the last one is a foam pad that I also don't know what to use with.
Here are some pics of my products...

 

Any tips would be appciated. I'm sorry this is so basic, but learning with pictures helps me

 

Wow....some people are as obsessed with their cars as me.

 

haha, we should start a product collection thread! anyway, that wool/synthetic wool pad might be too aggresive on your paint, maybe try it with a smr or heavy polish but watch out, the foam pad will be used for a polish, like the 3m smr. the turtle wax buffer probably wont do much other than apply/remove wax, you may have to test a polish on a panel to see whats more effective, the buffer or by hand. just experiment a bit on different panels and see what looks best to you.

 

foam and microfiber pads can be used with almost any product .. i use MF for everything, including zaino.

foam just seems to suck up alot of the product, and i don't like it especially for products like zaino where you only need a little bit to apply on each panel.

 

which, if any, of my pads are MF?

What shoul I use first, 3M SMR or the Zaino polish?

 

the wax bonnet looks like a MF.

If you have swirls, then start with the 3M and then Zaino. But if you haven't clayed your car recently, use the claymagic u have.

 

Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I clayed it Saturday before I used the other stuff, but sadly I dropped the foam pad I was using to apply the SMR so I had to skip to the polish since the pad had to be washed.
