So I have yet to perform a proper wax job on my 2010 3....

I picked up the mothers 3 stage cleaner, sealer, carnuba.

I've got some problems with my wrists so I think I'd like to pick up a polisher.

In future I'd like to be able to use it on the spider web type marks left on the car but this time around I'm just going to go with a 3 stage waxing job using Mothers Products from CT.

So my question, do I get the 5" or the 6.5" pads, and would I want to go with white green and black?

I emailed eshine but they haven't gotten back to me yet as I will be purchasing from them.

So, any ideas?

I have the 6.5 pads.

I use the lake country pads

White is more a cleaner and the black is a finshing pad

Here is a link to help you chose what pads you need

you can also email info@wisdomdetail.ca. Larry can help you pick the right stuff as well. I am not a fan of LC pads so I don't really know the foam densities, but the green is for polishing and black for finishing. you will likely only need these two colours if your mazda has little swirling on it. If you are just waxing, use the black or white I believe. Again, I don't use LC pads so my information may not be the greatest. Best of luck.

Oh, also Chris was hit by a mini van while at SEMA in Las Vegas, so he will be a little slow answering email. (broken arm and all)
