Dan, so you've never actually used the new Rupes MF pads?

I played with them a bit at the training event, but haven't used mine yet. The substrate is identical to the original. All that was changed was the microfiber material.

I can break them out later today though, spend some more time with them.

Ahhh, ok. That's exactly what I was wondering.

I wonder how the Rupes wool pads will work on their long throws?

They're supposed to be pretty good. They were designed to go with the random orbital tools.

Nice! I thought they were designed for the Mille.

I have some of the new ones, they don't last very long I went through quite a few on my lhr15 mkii doing a small car (foxbody) I wasn't a fan going back to all foam pads. Also one of them decided to come apart on me think I used 8?....for 12.50 I would much rather use foam or the UHS pads

So looks like Megs and LC mf pads are still the way to go.

Got one with my Mille Deluxe kit and i think it works better on 15-21 than Mille. Seems to.cut a bit more than Megs mf.

Getting ready to purchase RUPES MKII this is why I'm hesitant to spend money on RUPES MF pads, I've used Meguiars before and they held together great.

What do you like to use the Megs and LC microfiber pads for? Where does each excel? Why not just pick one instead of both? Not that experienced, sincere interest
