The new mf polishing pads?

[akj]

I've heard of these mf cutting polishing and finishing pads. But know nothing of them. I just got a PC and I need all new pads. Can I use these mf cutting pads with uc for heavy cutting? How r they different from foam pads other than not being foam..

Also I just booked a deal with a dealership to do all their trade ins so with my new 6 in PC I'm prolly going with a 5in backing plate but how many and what pads should I get to keep me going for a while at least a month or so?

Would the new mf pads be good due to them being easy to machine wash?

As much info as u have any and all please help.

All I use is MF pads unless I run into some soft paint. I love them. I used to be a 100% rotary guy until I tried MF pads on a da. That rotary has only been used like twice in the past 3 months. They cut harder and faster than foam pads. Foam finishes nicer. I've never used ultimate compound with them, but I'm sure it would work fine. I generally use 105 & 205 with them.

I clean mine by hand. I soak them in dawn dish soap and water for a few hours. Then I rinse them in the sink until the water squeezed out is clear. I spin them on my rotary to get out excess water. I generally use 1 pad per half of the car. I blow the pad out after each section I work. I'd get a few of each to start for sure

Also will the backing plate that comes with the starter kit megs has work on a PC?

Thanks for that info.. how many different mf pads do they have I've only seen the cutting and finishing.
Also u say foam finishes better. Would it be good to do polishing or cutting with the mf pads then finish with foam?

And are they a better value than foam? Like due to the fact they're easy to clean and, do they last longer? Like I could get more jobs done with the mf pads vs foam pad?

I have no idea how i ended up in this post lmao

[akj]

Ha.. OK.. but back to mf pads. Are there more than just the cutting and finishing ones? And do the offer a better value than foam? Like last longer, work better...

Anyone maybe have a pros and cons on foam vs mf pads?

MF pads cut better than foam pads so they save time. I only use foam pads for finishing polish. The biggest thing for me is I can use 1-2 MF pads for one car as for foam pads would take me 5 or more pads to do one car.
When using MF pads then need to be clean often by using a pad brush or using compressed air it what I use. I don't know why people say don't use MF pads on soft paint I do all the time with great results.

Ive only seen cutting and finishing except i believe lc makes only one pad for both. The only problem I have with them is they will marr soft paint. Some paints I just can't get them to finish perfectly. The only time I use foam pads is for finishing.

I have polished 25+ cars with a set of 2 each and they are still going strong. I have tried meguiars and optimum MF pads and like the meguiars better. The optimum cutting pad I have failed after 2 panels.
