Microfiber Cutting Pads
Hey Guys,
So I'm used to using regular foam pads on my GG 6" Polisher and now I'm thinking of giving Microfiber pads a try as I see a lot of professional detailers using them. From my understanding it will basically be the same as a regular foam one however it will cut & remove marks/scratches faster so you would need less passes to get the paint looking good? Obviously I would have to be more careful and check after a few passes as it may be good enough so i don't go to far.
if I have very minor swirl marks should I stick with regular foam? and only use microfiber for cares that are in worse shape?
I'm looking at the following item - Griots Garage 6 inch Micro Fiber FAST Cutting Pad
What do you guys think and I missing/forgetting anything before I jump on these pads?

Re: Microfiber Cutting Pads
Yea you've got the right idea, but I would go for the regular microfiber pads instead of the fast cut microfibers... I've got several microfiber pads, only 2 Extra Cut microfiber pads and I've only had to reach for them once.

I agree with the others on using the BOSS MF. Also keep in mind that while they cut better they won't finish as well as foam and need to be followed up with a finishing step. Some of the newer foams out there can cut pretty well while finishing down pretty good too, but they are really firm and I don't care for them. The BOSS MF cut very well and are nice and smooth.

Is there any concern that the center hole in the Boss pads might pose a problem when used with the GG6 given the thinness of the pads? Also, all the Griots website reviews for the Boss MF say they don't last more than a couple sessions.

How do they say they fail?

"Fell apart". I'm guessing separation of pad and velcro. All 4 reviews on their website listed it.

Interesting, I thought the Griots pads had superior adhesive... What do Autogeeks who use them have to say?
