It’s my experience that everyone who says don’t use a red scuff pad or a scuff pad at all, has no idea what they’re talking about. I made the decision about a year ago to only use red scuff pads because I tested the difference between red and grey Norton pads and there was no difference in the brightest of silvers.
Sometimes I use the red scuff pad over primer with great success as long as the primer isn’t too rough.
i use these for my sanding.

So what’s the best pad for 400 grit? Not so much long lasting but for speed of cut.
I’ve also used scuff stuff, the 3m version and the SEM version, for soap, scuff stuff is probably the best but it doesn’t go upside down so that’s a big let down, so if I had the money I’d go for 3m.[quote=”Painterman1″ post=31781]I use a red mirka scuff pad on blend panels,primer and i have with solvent and water with no issues on metallic or soilds the only thing i use a gray scuff pad for is a raw bumper[/quote]
This is exactly what I use. We switched from 3m to mirka pads cause the 3 m pads would leave streaks in blend panels with silvers. I still keep 3 m red skuff pads for primer.Chuck
