Best Pads for Large Throw Polishers?
Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum so I am not very familiar with how everything works just yet. I did a search but found very little. To my question though. What are the best pads for a large throw DA polisher? I have the torq22d that I have been using since it came out and just ordered a rupes 15. I am currently using Meguiars MF cutting pads to compound and hex logic foam pads to finish. I don't really have a preference as far as MF or foam I just want something that cuts well, efficiently, and a good finishing pad as I apply coatings quite a bit. I would also like to get your guys' imput on some good compounds and polishes. Saving time is huge for me as I also go to school full time.

Re: Best Pads for Large Throw Polishers?
Microfiber always cuts Better then foam.
However if your ever doing a one step MF cutting pads leave micro marring.
Good pads for long throw orbitals are usually ones that have holes in them to help for cooling. As the long throws create alot of heat and stress on the pad.
Boss pads
Rupes pads
Lake country thin pro pads
Meguiar's foam discs
Buff and shine long throw pads
All will work well with your long throws.
If your a fan of coatings I highly suggest car pro essence as it's a primer for coatings, and you don't need to wipe down with eraser or iPa , just go to coating.
If your doing multi step corrections stick with microfiber, for your cutting, but always test if you can get away with foam first.

Thanks Joe! Do you recommend certain compounds/polish?

I agree with Joe on his pad recommendations
As for compounds and polish check out the new McKee37 line and the Griots B.O.S.S. creams. Both have long work time and the compounds have a nice finish

What Stephen said.
Both products are user friendly so easy a caveman can do it!
If you order all 4 of the Boss creams you can pretty much tackle anything.
The McKee's 37 trio of polishes are.AWESOME.
I would recommend those 2 lines right now.
They work for a long time don't dry up and dust, cut and finish amazing.

Yellow pad is good. The rest are OK.
BTW, you can get away with a 1-step using MF pads(depending on paint color).

Stick with the Rupes as a system. The pads, compounds and polishes all work great together. I also us the the MF cutting and finishing with the Rupes

I have a Rupes markii 21 and I currently use the Rupes system. The blue Rupes pad with the Rupes zephyr gloss coarse gel compound cuts really fast. I enjoy the Rupes entire system including the Rupes UHS system. Some of my other options are lake country thin pro, hydrotech and microfiber pads with meguiars 101 and 205
