Polsiher Pads

Going to be buying a polisher today (they sell the Griots dual action locally for not much more than amazon, so plan on getting that).

My question is, Glen recommends some specific pads, a "white pad" for the polish and a "blue" foam pad for wet diamond. Will any standard "polishing" pad and any standard "foam" pad from the local auto store work, or are pads like MF cloths in that you can get cheap and shitty ones?

Thanks!

When you buy the griots, but the Orange correction pad and red waxing pad. Where in NC are you?

Ah nice! I've got family up in High Point so travel that way once every few months, not a bad area

I have family there too. Big city feel, but not too far from country living.

Mine is a 6 inch, you can also buy a 5 inch backing plate for it as well.
