2 Are both size backing plates in stock at AG the newer updated versions with the locking tabs?
Thank you
Jim
I'll be into the office after lunch to shoot the Live Broadcast video with Yancy and can check.

Re: Supa BEAST and CBEAST Backing Plate Swap by Mike Phillips
Out of these pads, do you prefer one or the other cutting, polishing, or finishing pad over the other?

Yes. Whenever I can use foam and it makes sense, I prefer foam. Sometimes fiber makes more sense for speed and efficiency because fibers are a form of abrasive.
Fiber pads are like a coin. A coin has two sides.
1: One side of the Fiber Coin is it cuts faster because fibers are a form of abrasive.
2: The other side of the Fiber Coin is because fibers are a form of abrasive - they can leave a CUT in the paint when you've finished buffing. When using any brand or type of orbital polisher this is called micro-marring. When using a rotary polisher this is called holograms.
Here's something I wrote years ago,
Generally speaking, a foam pad will finish out nicer more consistently over a wide spectrum of paint systems -Mike Phillips
So if I can cut with a foam pad and get the defect removal results I'm looking for on any given project I'll choose foam. Sometimes I can finish with this same foam pad and sometimes I have to re-polish, depends on the paint. But if I end up having to do a 2-step process, by starting with foam the polishing will be faster and easier as it won't have the depth of cut that a fiber pad will leave if a fiber pad is used first.
The above is generalities as paint hardness and/or paint softness is the huge unknown variable.
Or as Jason Rose likes to say,
Topcoat hardness is the unknown variable.
Hope that helps...
