Ordered grey, got black - did I recieve the right pad?

[Gopher]

I`ve topped all my detailing so far with acrylic sealants, but decided I`d like to give waxes a try. In my last order to autogeek.net I purchased a grey pad that is described on the website as follows:



Gray Finishing Foam 6.5" - Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes.



What I received today, however, came in a plastic bag with the following label:



"Black foam finishing pad. This black pad is designed for applying glazes, finishing polish, liquid waxes and sealants..."



I was hoping to use my PC tomorrow morning to apply Natty`s Red over AJT on 3 cars... Is this pad suitable for a paste wax?



Edit: woops, meant to post this in the machine polishing section.

I don`t think either pad has any cut. I don`t think there is a functional difference between them.

It should be fine for applying wax as it`s classified as a finishing pad. I use the LC Black finishing pad for applying a final glaze like VM or RMG and it works excellent. I`ve always put my LSP on by hand, but might give the PC a try tomorrow for another coat of Duragloss 111. To be honest, I`ve never heard of a gray pad as I use orange, yellow, white and Black.

Thanks guys--I`ll see what I feel like in the morning. Maybe I`ll just do them by hand and save this pad for later.



This is where I saw the grey pad btw: CCS 6.5 inch Smart Pads�„ Dual Action Foam Pads by Lake Country

I think that this is a situation where the colors black and grey are used interchangeably by different distributors. The example you cite with a grey description is the same pad I purchased from another source listed as a black pad.

To CMA that`s gray, to me that`s a black pad
