Best DA Pads for Compounding/Polishing?
Hey guys, what would you say is the best or most trusted DA Pads to use for general compounding step, and for a General Polishing step.
My detailing is simple, I just use 2 sets of pads. One set for compounding, and one set for Polishing.
Just looking for what is considered the Best Brand and Style?
Thankyou!

Re: Best DA Pads for Compounding/Polishing?
This is a very broad question based on so many variables. But to simplify if I were using a PC or something not as powerful as the big boys I would go with flat pads from LC. Or even Megs MF pads which are also flat.
If it's a Rupes I would just use their system. We need to know the machine etc

id say for free spin D/A 8mm throw, LC Thin pros
For forced D/A, LC Force, but anything long throw specific will work nicely too
for long throw i've really liked B&S Low Pros, LC HDO, and 3D spider pads

Lake Country Hydrotech, and the green, blue, red from Buff and Shine are what I use the most on the PC.
With the Rupes, I use their stuff.

Ohh then LC thin pads all the way. Really if it's just your own car megs MF cutting pad with a compound and LC thin pro white for the polish. You could use their black too but I keep that for spreading waxes sealant etc.
Thsts a great pad combo for that machine imo.

The LC thin, LC MF and megs MF all work well on the HF da. I would imagine the buff and shine urofiber would too but have not tried them yet.

I use Buff and Shine flat face 5.5" on my HF DA. For cut and compounding orange or white. Polishing green or blue.

These are my favorite pads for a standard DA. However, for cut, I use yellow and orange. For polishing, green and white.
