Thank you everyone.

Also for you guys that are using the megs microfiber pads... Are you just using it (cutting disk) for compounding/correction and then going to foam finishing pad. Or do you use the megs mf finishing disk/pad.

Thank again for all for the info and advice.

Thanks Zubair,

I've used the megs mf cutting and finishing disks with the megs da microfiber starter kit a few years back with my Griots 6" polisher.

I know I've heard and read of using the mf pads for compounding/correction, just wasn't sure about using the mf finishing pad for final or finishing polish.

Except that I've found the Megs Microfiber discs to work much better than the Rupes MF. The Rupes MF tend to mat down really bad.

FTA, do you do the washer mod by any chance?

Also, is this using Zephyr?

I had mine mat down badly using M100, on a free spinning Duetto.

Yes, the washer mod was done previous to purchasing along with the 5" backing plate. FYI, very thin washer.

Do you not recommend it?

No not using Zephyr, never head of it actually.
