Picked up a few to try and I immediately noticed the fibers do NOT matt down like 99% of other MF pads. After you're done polishing a section, it's almost as if there was no polish on the pad. Obviously, there is, but they do not gunk up with spent product and paint residue like others. Very impressed. They also provide a VERY smooth buffing feel.
 
In your opinion, are these better than Meguiars mf pads?

I'd say Meg's cuts a bit better, but the BOSS will finish better. They're also smoother and contour better than Meg's. Durability of foam has been in question for the BOSS MF pads, however.

I agree 100%. I’ve tried forever wanting to like using MF pads but none of em ever did it for me until I got some of the GG pads.
 
Those are my favorite microfiber pads 5",3" and 2" really durable

They are nice pads for sure. The durability of the foam in them isn’t the greatest from the ones I have. A couple of mine have issues.

I also think the megs pads clean out better from compounds and polishes.
 
We really liked the results we were getting with the BOSS mf cutting pads..... but they all failed so quickly, some in catastrophic fashion with pads flying across the room. Ultimately the BOSS pads were more expensive to begin with, and cost of buying new mf pads every month or so was a little much, so I decided not to continue using them. When they stay together they are really nice.
 
Griots upgraded the foam 4-5 months ago due to failure. I wouldn't see if it actually holds up better...
 
CarPro has just launched a new heavy cut mf that doesn’t matt down, cuts more than Megs MF and is extremely durable.

I completely agree. Megs and LC MF pads do offer a bit more cut but the boss pads are easily the smoothest MF cutting pad that I've tried and when it comes to contours the Boss pads are easily the best option. Unfortunately I bought a dozen before they updated the foam interface. I still love them but like Zach said the lack of durability w/ these pads can really add up in pad cost. Especially when you consider how durable the LC MF cutting pads are.

I'll be interested in hearing how the new foam interface on the BOSS MF pads holds up for you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Mark!
 
I believe these have the same, or similar nap to the original Buff and Shine Microfiber pads.

One of the reasons I like the B & S mf pads on the standard 8mm, is because they don't mat down, are easily cleaned with a brush, and cut like a banshee.

I have the Griot's fast cut microfiber pads on my "to buy" list. They don't have a foam interface, but do have that excellent microfiber material.
 
Hey, thanks guys, I've only used the Meg's and the old LC yellow MF pads, I didn't know there were some that didn't mat down.
