Rotary with urofiber 50/50 microfiber pads
I've heard people achieve great results with this combination, and finishing up, if needed, with foam pad and a finer polish. They have a thicker foam between backing plate and pad face. I'm using a 6" Maxshine BP. Thick as well.
What are your thoughts? Experience?
PS
.. Hard clear on a C5 Corvette, and I'll be using 3D ACA 500 Xtra cut.

It will work but if you need that much cut on a rotary a wool pad would be a lot easier to control.
I find c5 vette paint to be very nice to work with. Have you tried a compounding foam pad with ACA 500? Foam compounding with 3d 500 on a rotary will get you a long ways.
A microfiber pad on a rotary with 3d ACA 500 will absolutley need a second refining pass to clean things up.
Also can you post a picture of the damage you're going after

Thanks for your feedback.
To be honest, the paint is in great shape overall.. Especially for a daily ZO6 . Just fine to medium scratches. Gloss and sickness are great. No swirls practically. Paint's never been corrected by previous owner in 17 years. Plenty of clear left.
I just wasn't pleased with the DA plus Mqeguiar's microfiber results I had with D300 or ACA 500.
So I bought a rotary.. I have these great urofiber 50/50 pads and was thinking of having a go. Perhaps I should just purchase a good wool pad or use a heavy cut foam pad as you suggest.

What DA and what speed were you using with the microfiber pads? And these are cutting pads?

I would very much not recommend jumping on a rotary with a wool pad combined with 3D ACA 500.
If the damage is minimal like you say, which it still would be nice to see a picture, I would go with a quality da then would give advice on products after seeing damage trying to be corrected

Re: Rotary with urofiber 50/50 microfiber pads
I've used rotaries.. Never had any issues. Lack of common sense and recklessly applying the tool will get you the above. Never happened. Ever.
Either way thanks.
