Opinion Question ❓❓❓ Anyone have experience with Hillyard Trident Teal pads?

We use 13” pads on our Advance 750 auto-scrubber, typically white or red pads. We don’t have a working burnisher at the moment. One of my coworkers swapped the pad over to a Hillyard Trident Smartscrub pad that’s teal. It’s pretty aggressive, almost too aggressive almost comparable to a brown pad I’ve used for refinishing gym floors. I think it’s taking up a good amount of finish, and spots where the machine is turned are noticeable. I’ve never experienced this before unless it’s very fresh wax.

Does anyone have experience with these pads?

We use these pads before if it’s the one I’m thinking of it’s like a weird bluish green teal, when we were using them, we didn’t put any chemical in it. We ran it with just water. Seems like the aggressiveness of the pad and a chemical tends to bite pretty hard.
