Official Non-Griot's pad discussion

[JCDetails]

So, with my G15 being delivered today and having heavily invested in a non-griot's pad line, I wanted to start a thread to discuss what non-griot's pads work well on these machines.

Currently I've got a Meguiar's MT300 which came with 6.5" CCS pads. Truthfully, anything but the blue and black for sealant/wax/glazing are a joke on that machine. I then bought a couple LC Flat pads (5.5") and they worked better but still not terribly impressive. Fast forward to trying the ThinPros, and my god what a difference that made on that slightly underpowered machine. I would strongly recommend anyone with the GG6 give the thinner pads a try, it'll take that machine to a whole other level.

Then I bought a GG3 which came with the 3.5" BOSS pads. That worked well, but I also bought a 6pk of thinpros to try on it, and I can say for sure that the GG3 with thinpros at speed 5-6 impressed the hell out of me removing etched water spots from Mercedes black paint.

Now, I've got my G15 being delivered today. I'm thinking the thinpros will be the way to go, but the HDO pads seem like they'd be a good option as well despite the higher cost. I like the B&S offerings but they're costly, same with the GG BOSS Pads at $11+ per pad, when I can get ThinPros at AGO for $8.99 or on sale like the other day at $6.95, less if you buy the 6pk.


So for those with either a G15 or 21, which non-griot's pads have you used? Good, bad, and ugly welcome!

I use the B&S Urotechs with my G15 and am very pleased--durable, very smooth performance. Take a look at the video on this page: 3 inch Buff and Shine Uro-Tec Foam Pads

Uro-Tec pad is great but once you can get familiar with Low Pro, it would deliver you to next level of cutting power.

any comparison between lowpros and thinpros?

When i first started i used CCS pads. And I still to this day use them on my g21 and g15. No problems, inexpensive and they are a work horse type pad imo.

I still use ccs for spreading waxes and glazes, and applying m37 360 on larger vehicles. But I'm normally using 5.5" pads for scratch fixes and or correction, so thinner is better.

I find that a slightly thicker pad makes using a long throw a little easier esp. on curved panels. I only use 5.5in as well. Just my thoughts. The only thin pads I use regularly are MF, or Boss finishing pads. Which are softer foam overall.

I'll have to see how she acts with the thinpros. I also have LC flat pads that I can try that are a bit thicker.

I find Thin Pro to be too thin and having problem when you try to get to tight area, while low pro eventhough the foam also thin but the design that increasing backing allow you to get more angles to get into conclaves and tight area. I found Low Pro green to providing more cut and finishing much more beautiful than Thin Pro.

Yellow Rupes pad can be quite the workhorse.
