The fg400 is one of their harshest polishes. On bad cars I use either that it Rupes UHS

Which Polishes should I work with which pads?

5 different people using the same polish will get different results.

I found on a DAS6 Pro FG400 on an orange pad with a slow arm speed was good enough and also left no holograms on OE paint.

We use loads of different polishes, mainly Scholl and I really like the S3 Gold (and the XXL one) and S40, a good combination. S17+ is good too but takes a bit of time to get used to. Don't like S20...

And always use a strong IPA or eraser wipe down to check for results :)

Perfect, I was aiming to paid Orange Pad with FG400 / White with PF2300 / Black with SF4000 or PF4500.

I'l have a look at the Scholl polishes you mentioned above.

IPA wise, any old IPA do, as long as its diluted to 15% IPA / 85% Water? Wheres the best place to get this from?

Megs 105 & 205 are brilliant. Very versatile.
