Hex-Logic Quantum Heavy Cutting Pad, Yellow
The Yellow cutting pad is Quantum’s heaviest hitter. The heavy-cutting pad removes severe and deep defects like swirls, scratches, oxidation, and water spots to restore clarity and reflection to painted surfaces. Detailers start every paint restoration by polishing a test spot with the least-aggressive combination of cutting pads and polish to determine the gentlest way to achieve perfection. The heavy cut of Yellow Quantum pads is best reserved as a last resort when lighter Orange and Green Quantum pads cannot remove the heaviest and ugliest swirls, scratches, and oxidation. Use Yellow Quantum pads with heavier compounds like V34 Hybrid Compound or V32 Extreme Compound on any dual action or rotary polisher. Check results for desired effects: if enough defects are removed, move on to finishing polish and white pad; if more cut is needed, consider switching to a microfiber pad or having the panel repainted.

Hex-Logic Quantum Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad, Orange
The Orange Quantum Pad is the workhorse of the Quantum system. The medium-cutting pad removes light to moderate defects like swirls, scratches, oxidation, and water spots to restore gloss, depth, and reflection to painted surfaces. Detailers start every paint restoration by polishing a test spot with the least-aggressive combination of cutting pads and polish to determine the gentlest way to achieve perfection. The medium cut of Orange Quantum pads balances enough power to remove the majority of defects from most finishes, but is gentle enough for even the most sensitive paint jobs. Use Orange Quantum pads with a light swirl remover like V36 or one-step polish like VSS Scratch & Swirl Remover on any dual action or rotary polisher. Check results for desired effects: if enough defects are removed, move on to finishing polish and white pad; if more cut is needed, use heavier compound like V34 or V32 on Orange pad and try again.

Hex-Logic Quantum Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad, Green
Green Quantum Pads are heavy-polishing pads. Polishing pads are softer and gentler than cutting pads, which use coarser foam to make more friction and remove more paint. The heavy polishing action of Green Quantum Pads is perfect for removing scratches and swirls and restoring gloss and shine on softer paint in one step. Use Green Quantum pads with one-step polishing compounds like VSS Scratch & Swirl Remover or V4 All In One Polish & Sealant. Check results for desired effects: if enough defects are removed, move on to finishing with sealant and wax; if more cut is needed, consider switching to an Orange cutting pad.

Hex-Logic Quantum Light-Medium Polishing Pad, White
White Quantum Pads are medium-light polishing pads. Polishing pads are soft and gentle, and restore a deep wet shine to painted finishes. The refining action of White Quantum pads is perfect for enhancing gloss after cutting away heavy swirls and scratches with harder compounds and cutting pads. Use White Quantum pads with fine polishes like V36 Cutting Polish or V38 Final Polish. Check results for desired effects: if desired gloss is achieved, move on to finishing with sealant and wax; if more gloss is needed, consider re-polishing with cutting compound and refining again for maximum gloss.
