New to this, what pad(s), LC red blue grey white, are best to use just to wax/polish, not to correct defects just apply NXT 2.0. Thanks

For wax application, I'd use a gray LC pad.

Never used NXT, but I did apply Z sealant once with a gray pad.
While I was satisfied with the results, I saw no upside to doing it this way.
I will stick to hand applications.
PC and polishing is a different story.

stick with finishing pads ... grey, and blue. I dont apply sealants by machine but I would go blue as no abrasive qualities in pad.
