Alright guys, I'm looking at DA & rotary polishers.

What kind of pads do you use?

If I get one of these things I want a perfect paint finish as I can get very good results with just Gtechniq P1 & their tri foam pad.

 

Are you talking brands? If so I've had success with Lake Country and Meguiar's DA Foam Discs (low profile design). Stay away from the CCS type pads since they tend to create hot spots. It really depends on how swirled/oxidized your paint is. Check out Autogeek to see what people there recommend.

FWIW, I've used Gtechniq P1 and although it works well, it dusts a lot. I've switched over to Menzerna and I'm loving the results so far.
