Buff and shine mf pads

[Kengo123]

I recall a little bit of hype when the buff and shine mf pads came out, but I haven't seen too many reviews on them.

I had been wanting to pull the trigger on some mf pads, for at least 3 months, and I'm considering buff and shine first (bc I own buff and shine foam and backing plates, they look cool and I'd prefer to keep it all in the family) and meguiars second. I have no experience with either and I understand meguiars mf is the more popular option, but I'm also aware of their faults (delaminating, requires air to clean on the fly)

So question for you buff and shine owners, what do you think of them? Do you like your buff and shine mf pads? How do they compare to the meguiars pads? (Correction ability, dealminating, etc) am I better off just ordering meguiars?

Thanks
Ken

I will give you my opinion, although it does lack some information.

I have done a few corrections with my Meguiar's MF pads, which correct and finish very well. They get hot and that's all there is to it, even w/ freshening up with air after every section. I chose to purchase some B&S MF pads because of their thickness (and ability to work better on my Flex). IMO, their quality looks better than the Meg's MF pads and the foam seems more durable.

Side by side, I would have chosen the B&S first.

Here is my thoughts in them as I have the BnS and the Meg's

Meguiars pads are the best for cutting. The BnS work well with the flex as ur has been said. The fibers are thicker with the BnS and I find product sticks deeper in the fibers.

Over all both a great and the thicker one work better with the flex if you have it.

I forgot to note that I own a PC and an HF da

Go with the Meg's if those are your tools.

On a regular DA, Meg's without question!! The B&S are too beefy all around for a PC, IMO. I'll have to try B&S MF pads on the Flex 3401.

The buff and shine also require air to clean on the fly. The latest word is that Meg's has sorted out the delamination issue, but the root cause is heat transferred to the laminate due to the thin foam core.

Mike put up an article about visitors in the AG garage working different machines with different mf pads, it would be worth looking into.

If you don't have air would you guys advise against using MF pads? Could a brush work?

At Meguiar's they said you could use there brush to clean them if you don't have air. Was just wondering how you guys feel about this?

I have 3 each of the B&S pads and use a brush to clean them out after each panel or sooner. I use all 3 (cutting/polishing) because of heat with the Flex. I have no issues what so ever.

I just used Ultimate Compound and Polish on my sisters black jeep (cheap route since I didn't want money for my service...awesome brother I am ). The polishing MF pad didn't finish well enough for me so I used foam to finish. Was only looking for 80-90% correction. First time using MF pads on black paint.

Alright I should be good, When I buy my machine and I start buying MF pads
