HT vs Meg microfiber pads

[Capa1970]

I'm in need of some pads and was thinking of trying some new ones. So far I have used the LC CCS and the flat pads. I liked the flat the best. Now I am thinking of trying either the Meg cutting discs followed by foam pads to finish or get the Hydro Tech pads. I have never tried either and I have heard that both have some durability issues. I typically use MEG UC and (usually) follow it up with Duragloss 501 and then Collinite 845. I have been using the flat orange with UC, the flat white with 501, and the flat black with 845. Any suggestions appreciated.

You will get more cut with the MF cuting pad compared to the Cyan pad. The tangerine HT pad has a little less cut than the orange.

Mark, I guess I could get the Meg cutting discs for my compounds/polish like UC and follow it with the tangerine using 501 and then a flat black pad (I have a few left) using 845.

I'd follow with true polish rather than 501. You should have medium polish and/or finishing polish. Although 501 does have light abrasives, it's more of a cleaner wax.

You could get the Megs CD and FD and use the FD with the DG 501.

So a two step polish is preferable. I did notice that the Meg 300 is followed by their cleaner wax but I suppose that is why quite a few feel that it doesn't finish well enough.

I don't like the finishing wax, I'd rather finish with a foam pad. Optimum Hyper Polish Spray is a great 2nd step polish.
