Pads for Griots Orbital

I have a griot's orbital and need to order pads for it.

Can you recommend what pads to get and what polish's to use with it.

I use lake country with mine. its a DA polisher, buy the polish and pads you that will do the job you need to do. no special pads or polish because it's GG.

A good start is any of the lake country line of pads with the cost efficient meguiars 105/205. I use ccs pads but you can also get regular flat ones or hybrids.

Hopefully I'm not too late to recommend some stuff.

I'm glad you went with the Griot's DA instead of a PC or something. IMO , The Griot's DA works the best out of all the DAs out there.

And I would suggest buying Meguiar's D300 compound with their microfiber pads for correction, and follow it with Menzerna SF4000 super finish with a black or blue finishing pad. 5 or 6 inch pads are fine.

You will get the best results with that combo.
