No lsp has been applied, 6 section passes. Very pleased with the results. Paint was in good condition before polishing. No finishing polish or pad was used after polishing with microfiber pads.

Any particular reason you chose to use MF pads over foam on paint that was in "good condition"?
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I bought these pads to use on my nephews black Dodge Ram pickup truck. I wanted to try these pads on my car first to see how well these pads worked with the 3401. Also wanted to see how well the pads finished using a medium-fine polish.

Re: Lake Country Microfiber Pads used with flex 3401
I did a 12 Black Ram pick up in the past with XMT360 and an Orange pad with my 3401...turned out GREAT.
I also have used the 3401 with my Meguiars Cutting MF pads and D300 as step 1 of a 2 step process and dont remember them being overly grabby. I can see how it WOULD be possible though. Very little pressure and let the pad and machine do the work.

I would “practice” on my nephew’s used truck before experimenting on my own car given the choice ...

To add, I have tried, and will continue to use it in the future, D300 on Megs MF Cut pads. Light pressure has worked for me.

Lake country foamed purple wool also worked well on a body shop respray that could have used more sanding
