What Pad with Plastic-X

Hey guys what pad type would you recommend using with Plastic-x on head/tail lights? I have a Detailer's Domain starter kit with Orange, green, blue, black. Thanks

not sure which is which, but start with the medium foam firmness and see where it takes you.

I use a soft pad, softer than the orange one and let the product do the job not the pad. I only use the orange pad to do light cuts for scratches when I do not feel like getting out the buffer with a whool pad or use orange pads with cleaner wax.

You can absolutly use it on headlights with plastic-X without any issues.

Just my $.02's

Btw, I have found that Prima Swirl does an even better job on restoring headlight lenses than PlastiX does. I'll start with a white pad and move up to orange if necessary.

Ditto to what OG said. Follow with a nice coat of Epic and motor on.
