A Guide to Chemical Guys Hex-Logic Pads
Chemical Guys Hex Logic offer a wide range of pads and this can sometimes lead to some confusion about which pads do what and what you need. The system that they use is an "over lapping" system with their pad range, which means that it is to cover all aspects that a certain individual is looking for while selecting their pads. Paint types are generally put into three categories Soft; Medium; and Hard and you will find that vehicle manufacturers will have a certain type of paint for example Ford is soft to the extreme of Mercedes/Porsche is hard. However, until you actually start working on the car and take paint readings before and after regardless of the badge or make and model it can be difficult to give a definite answer.
Like most manufacturers each pad offers a variety of benefits as well as slight negative aspects that the user should be aware of. This guide does not look at the addition of compounds when used in conjunction with these pads.

Open & Closed Cell Pads
There are a number of plus’s and minus’s that you should understand when selecting your pad choice and also in conjunction with the types of abrasives/polishes you are using. The easiest way to tell which kind of pad you are using (if for example you have another manufacturers pad) is to hold a clean pad to your mouth and try to blow through it, you will find that an open cell pad will offer little resistance to the air flow.
