Quick snap on-off - can't say I've ever heard anyone refer to a pad this way. Are you using the 5.5" pads with the dimpled face or the flat ones - or a different pad altogether? With their 5.5" pads the crossover to the Meguiar's yellow polishing pad is their white pad, with their orange pad being a bit more aggressive. Their cyan pad is very aggressive but supposedly leaves a very nice finish in spite of that, but I haven't had a chance to try that one out with a DA buffer on really hard paint. But from what others have accomplished here using our yellow pads and Ultimate Compound, I doubt you need to go more aggressive than their white or orange pad.

Knowing how particular about your car's finish (and I applaud that since I hate to be the only one!!!!) I highly recommend following Ultimate Compound and whatever pad you choose with our M205 Ultra Finishing Polish on either our black finishing pad or a Lake Country black or red finishing pad. Slow the tool speed down to 3 and use just moderate pressure, but give it a long work cycle - ie, go over a 3' x 3' area multiple times to really refine the paint, adding clarity and gloss. The finish should look incredible at this point, and you haven't even waxed yet. If you want to stick with Adam's stuff for the wax, go for it. On a black car though I also highly recommend Meguiar's M26 High Tech Yellow Wax or Gold Class Carnauba, or even AutoGlym HD Carnauba or P21S. Or if you're willing to put in the time, lay down a coat of NXT Tech Wax 2.0 first, then 24 hours later put down one of those carnauba products over it.
