Used the new pads yesterday for the first time. We did half of a black 2005 mazda rx-8. The paint was in really bad shape. Used d300 and d301 in the normal manner. The cut pad seemed to do a better...
we use the mf system constatnly, maily doing hondas, hazing is a problem on the hondas. can one expect the optimum pads to perform any differently? I have 2 of the...
we do a ton of one step, and use the new mf system for cars that need more correction.
since using this system we have pretty much phased out the foam pads and tend to always go the the microfiber...
we deal with hondas everyday, sometimes the trim is stained from degreaser/prep solutions. we buff it out, have good luck with d301 finish wax. If it is actual paint missing than painting is the...

I continue this motion and as the product begins to break down it starts to become somewhat transparent. If it starts to dry I'll add a squirt of detail spray just to give it a...
we have 2 griots, new meg and sold the flex.
griots have been trouble free going on 6 months of everyday use.
megs g110v2 is only a month old. the cruise control makes it every bit as powerful as...
thanks Mike, yes we are definitely pushing the limits of this technology. Probably should get out the rotary but the new mf-da system is so much easier to deal with. No splatter, dusting, taping...
the cruise control feature works good.
the g110v2 has is much louder than the griot, at least mine is. kind of a high pitched whine. anyone else notice this?
Heavily scratched black saturn suv. used mf/da system. had an opportunity in several areas to try the edge method mentioned in a post recently. the edge method worked great. car turned out great but...
we've tried that combo on several cars. dark hondas are tough to use that on for the very reasons you pointed out. the orange buff and shine would have been the best choice. I'd be interested in what...
we use the griot and mf system everyday, 75% of the cars are hondas. speed 4.5 with d300, heavy pressure and slow the arm speed until the desired defect removal is achieved, sometimes you have to be...
In my experience as a general rule.
flat pads of that age are most likely far more aggressive than they once were.
AIO needs following if anything more than heavy polish pad is used and on dark...
too many variables with the different types of paint for clear cut answers. If your car is in that good of condition you dont need the mf system. the flex does not do well with mf discs.
5" pads on...
i have a silver pilot, it didnt need correcting but I wanted to see what I could do. Since I didnt have to correct much the d300 finished out very well so the d301 finish wax got it to sparkle. I...
it is an outstanding system. we use it everyday. d300 with the mf disc and on softer paint a foam pad. some paint does well with the finish disc, some needs foam to finish. we use the d301 finish wax...
I've done about 40 cars with the new system and found the finish step to create a haze most of the time. The haze is most visible on the rounded surfaces, like above the windows. I had better results...
I have not used buff and shine pads. There are threads suggesting many of these pads are made at the same plant with different labels on the backing. I do know the orange uber pads do a wonderful job...
Yeah, the orange uber pad is a different foam than the other uber pads. Looks to be the same euro foam used on the hydrotech. was hoping someone had more experience than I do with these and was...
I'm looking for some discussion about uber pads. I have 2 griots 6" DAs, I do a volume business, using one step and now the mf system for correction. I recently got a 5 pack of 6.5 uber pads to test...
The amount of time it takes depends solely on the condition of the paint and the desired defect removal. most of my cars are in a moderate volume situation for a used car lot. avg car 1-2 hours max. ...
After using the new da mf system for about 20 pretty bad cars now I am very impressed with the cutting part of the system, little to no dust, easy clean up, no gumming and effective resutls. There is...
the 301 and mf pad made a great finish but the wax did not seem overly resilient to micro scracthing. more susceptable than other products I've used. Maybe it has a little curing time?
