Good rule of thumb when using an AIO - stick with foam polishing pads by Mike Phillips
HD Speed, LC CCS orange light cutting foam, on a Rupes 15 MKII. 2014 Honda CRV, Black pearl
I wanted the paint glossy, clean, defect removal wasn’t high on the list.
Medium/fast arm speed. Total time polishing was 5 hrs.

Glad someone (Dan) brought up the Megs system. I love it and recommend it often on forums. My favorite is a Megs microfiber pad and CarPro Essence. CarPro suggests the use of microfiber pads to aid in the curing of Essence. I think Mike thinks about the Flex 3401 first when making recommendations and the Flex 3401 doesn’t work well with microfiber pads.

Well...now that it was mentioned, I will chime in again. Lol.
My most favorite combination to use lately is Meguiar’s Finishing Disc + CarPro Essence
Personally, it has when working well for me thus far despite paint sensitivity. As a matter of fact, CarPro recommends “For finicky and soft paints use microfiber pad”. Just to say the very least.

Do you guys find the Meg MF a better pad compared to LC MF pads?

I will have to give Essence a try on my never used, still in the package Meguiar’s MF pads. How is defect removal with Essence and Meguiar’s MF?
I wonder how the long throw polisher improves the finish of HD Speed when combined with microfiber and light cutting pads. Is it the heat and friction changing the abrasive qualities of the LC light cutting pads?
I notice when washing pads that my CCS orange pads really change texture/softness when transitioning from hot to cold water.

How many section passes do you usually make with this method? I reread your posts a few times and didn't see that so apologies in advance if you already stated that somewhere. Thanks again for a great post. Very informative.

Just looking through boards, on YouTube and even I'm IG feeds I see the Meg's pads get used more then any other brand as far as MF goes.

Honestly, the biggest difference I found with Lake Country’s Microfiber pads is the fact that it doesn’t mat down fast at all.
I guess I still prefer the Meguiar’s ones because I used them first and just have gotten used to them.
But in comparison, they both do excellent!
