Microfiber Cutting Pads
Mike,
I watched the Meg's video about the Meguiars DA Microfiber Correction System. In the video it was explained that cleaning pads often was essential.
My question is, how often should the cutting pad be changed? Does the MF cutting pad enable you to simply clean often and use less pads?
I do not have a pad cleaner and I'm trying to figure out how many Cutting pads I need per vehicle.
Thanks!

Yes, I have done a complete car with one pad. I clean the pad after every pass with an air compressor.

I do the same. I blow the pad out with air after each section.

So cleaning the pad gets enough product and paint out of the pad to use a whole car?
I'm liking these pads more and more!

Very dependent on the polish or compound you are using, but yes it's possible to only use one pad if cleaned rigorously and religiously. I've done it successfully with d300 before.

Re: Microfiber Cutting Pads
cleaning the pads more often is best for these pads because once the fibers on the pads starts to stick to each other, the cutting ability will be less.
if you don't access to an air compressor like I am, you can use a cleaning brush for foam pads to re-fluff the fibers.
good luck

Re: Microfiber Cutting Pads
If the paint has been deconed properly, one pad can work. I actually prefer using a brush to compressed air, but that's just me. I clean the pad every time I finish a section, before I load up more compound. I also spritz with Poorboy's Spray and Wipe every third or fourth time as well.

I use a combination of brush and air. But once the fibers begin to stick, cleaning needs to be done more often and finally needs to be changed. Especially the cutting disc when using more force to correct deeper scratches. Think it's the heat and force that makes the fibers stick. Maybe I use the wrong technique since I just starting using the microfiber system.

Good to hear. I was thinking I would need to buy 8-12 cutting pads just to do one vehicle, like with foam pads.

Just got my Meg's starter kit in.
With these MF pads, would there be any reason to buy multiple foam pads ever again?
