    Use the maroon color pads (item #7447) only, they are manufactured with a very fine grade aluminum oxide grit abrasive. Do NOT use the gray pads (item #7448), as they contain silicone carbide grit abrasive. The silicone carbide could break down and stick in the aluminum causing corrosive stress points, very much like marking aluminum spars with a pencil is a no-no (use ball-point or felt tip pens when marking on bare aluminum!).
