Smoothing pads come in various colors that correspond to various grits. You will rarely need all these grits and for most processes 325 grit is more than sufficient to move from an electroplated 270 or 325 grit to a final polish with cerium. The Black 100 grit and Purple 220 grit are excellent for working larger surface areas for a pre-polish and the Red 600 grit and Blue 1200 grit work well for smaller precise pieces like scientific glass, silicon wafer, and lapidary.
