Good Microfiber Pads?

If you're using a Rupes with a 5" backing plate, call Kevin Brown and order a custom cut backing plate to fit the DMC/DMF 5

Getting ready to order some new pads, and wanted to know what everyone is using.

I have been using the Rupes Microfiber Pads, but been hearing good things about the Meguiars pads.

Anyway whats everyone using?

megs pads are good and last pretty long.optimum pads delamination problems after 4 uses.

Too bad, they are great pads. Not lots of options for good mf pads for mini here in europe.

I have been using the 4" B&S MF pads on the Mini,
they do work, even with the overhang. The thing to
watch out for is heat build up, a few worked great then
1 oddball overheated, deformed out and around the BP.
I ordered up some Griot's Boss 3" MF pads, which will
be my goto from here, they are just that perfect for
the Mini. Small center hole for heat, thick quality MF,
doesn't mat down too fast.
Here are my picks of MF pads that I've tried on the Mini

Griot's Boss 3" with center hole


Lake Country 3" MF


Carpro, 3" with center hole


Hope this helps

I think i might try 4" bns and make a center hole like i have done to my megs mf discs.

I use Lake Countries MF pads. They are very durable and easy to clean. I just brush them off when I'm done and throw them in the wash with my detailing towels. Once washed i leave it out to air dry... come out like new every time. Highly recommend these!!
