Helping a noobie choose the correct products for paint correction!!

We always seem to agree on this. Also, a yellow LC CCS pad works well with Wolfgang TSR on harder paints or worse deffects. Me personally, I don't use microfiber pads as they remove more clear coat and likely will not finish as well as soft foam on darker colors. They are faster to cut with, but I'm only working on my own cars, so I want to remove as little clear coat as possible.

Why do people say the MF pads finish up worse than the foam when the description in the store says they finish up better?

I have used Meg's 105/205 with various pads. Personally I am tired of the dusting and am ordering Optimum compounds/polishes next.

MF pads cut faster and can be more aggressive. They can remove a lot of "paint" quicker than foam. I don't use them because my paint isn't jacked up and I don't need a fast cutting aggressive pad. I want to remove as little clear coat as possible when working on my cars. If you have severe defects or are working for pay they probably are the way to go. IMHO, if your working on your garage queen, you may want to at least finish with foam. As, the correct foam pad polish combo likely will finish better than the correct MF pad polish combo, which may be important on darker colored cars.
