Older 3.5" waffle pads?

[bosco1]

Hey guys I have some older 3.5" pads that have been barely or never used. They are the waffle style pattern, not smooth/flat. Trying to remember the color correlation with them. Have a 'Orange' (swirl/severe swirl - I think), 'Green' (Don't have a clue), 'Blue' (again not sure - Revive polish maybe??), and a 'White' (polish pad I believe) Thank you in advance.

Pics could help ensure we guide you, but the color coordination likely still applies. Orange is for the Correcting Polish (mid-level correction), blue for Heavy Correcting Compound (heaviest correction next to microfiber), and white for Finishing Polish. Sorry, I don't know what the green is for, but I'm sure others will know.

I think green was for heavy correction. Is the foam firm or pliable?

There was a blue metal polishing pad at one time.  Not sure where that falls in the aggressiveness chart.

I'll get a pic of them tomorrow, tk you. I was thinking the green was a correcting pad of some kind as well. The Blue one I don't ever remember using...

I found this pic on my computer,here they are. I will get a better one tomorrow.

Here they are, the Orange pad is definitely the most abrasive. The Blue is next. The Green Pad is as soft or softer than the White Pad.

Anyone remember what Polishes were used with the Green Pad and the Blue Pad. I still have some of the orange severe swirl/haze remover that went with the orange pad..I believe they were just a swirl/haze remover that may have went with the Blue Pad.

Honestly, given the average shelf life of most Adam's products and so many advances they've made, I wonder if it's better for you to move on and use the new things. I don't know how well those older polishes will work for you. Just my two cents.

Understand, wasn't planning on using the old polish (severe swirl haze) is the only old polish I have,  was just wondering how to use the pads I have. I know the orange will be for a product for swirls etc, the white pad for LSP I suppose, the blue one is somewhere in the middle. Like I said the green pad is as soft or softer than the white pad. May just have to play around with them I suppose.

Green pad was used for Adams Severe Swirl Remover, great scratch removal but VERY dusty. I still  have a ton of them and even a gallon of SSR left over. Being an Adams user for a long time now, pads come and go as well as polishes. Before the flat pads were the best, then the waffle, then the flat , back to waffle, back to flat again, YIKES ! I have so many new and old pads that I use, all seem to do a fairly similar job. The quality of the polishes have gotten better over the years for sure.
