A system of colored pads is employed in polishing processes, where each hue corresponds to a specific level of aggressiveness. This standardized visual guide simplifies pad selection based on the task, whether it involves heavy cutting, polishing, or finishing. For example, a coarser, more aggressive pad might be dark orange or yellow, while a finer finishing pad might be black or blue. This color-coding allows users to quickly identify the appropriate pad for the desired outcome.
This standardized system provides several advantages. It streamlines the polishing process, reduces the risk of using an incorrect pad, and enhances the efficiency of achieving the desired finish. By establishing a universally understood visual language, it minimizes confusion and promotes consistency in results, particularly across different users and applications. This system has evolved over time as polishing technologies and materials have advanced, resulting in a more refined and reliable process.
