It was very specific in design D300 to MF cutting pad and D301 to MF finishing pad.
A lot of research has been done to pair these two products up exactly.
Now that being said...I have already heard of folks experimenting with different products with the MF pads.
There is rumor the someone tried the MF finishing pads with PO 85RD with excellent results.
People are going to do this it's in our nature.

Re: MF Pad System...Devil's Advocate Thread
I'm giving this thread a 5 star review. I will reserve comment at this time as I am currentally watching the Preacher Man on TV.
I sincerely hope this thread stays on a mature enough level that it doesn't get shut down. On the other hand, I would like to here the opinions of both the fan -vs- non fan of this New System -vs- Surbufs
Everyone just try to refrain from calling another posters "Yo Momma So Fat" jokes and I am confident we can get through this thing and it will prove to be a very insightfull thread

OK while we're doing "MF Pad System...Devil's Advocate Thread"
Here's another interesting observation besides the OEM paint only...
It is recommended that the MF pads be cleaned with compressed air.
It does appear this is probably the best method to clean the MF pads.
The brush or on-the-fly cloth doesn't clean spent material as efficiently.
I do not own an air compressor. I'm not going to buy one to use MF pads.
How will that effect the performance of the pad/product on the paint finish?

Re: MF Pad System...Devil's Advocate Thread
Here is some good reading on the MF System. Most of the reviewers are professional detailers, and top notch ones at that. People like Joe Fernandez of Superior Shine, Nick Chapman of Nick's Custom Detailing, Rasky of Rasky's Auto Detailing, Todd Helme of Bella Macchina etc. Some of these guys have had a version of these pads in their hands for quite some time.
Nick Chapman believes in the system so well that he has all but put the rotary down. And anyone who knows Nick knows he is a truly gifted detailer.
I think the new system is very promising, and I don't believe it is hype based on what I've read and seen. This could be a revolutionary system that changes the detailing world.

With all due respect. I only see Nick posting on the Meguiars Forum. So his opinion on the matter is next to worthless IMO
Furthermore, if he is stating that this new system will completely remove the need to use a Ratory, then I know he is blowing smoke

I agree. One of the reasons we all use this forum is to learn... about new products and the way we detail and care for our cars. We can all agree to disagree, but respect each others views. We may find that the system can be utilized to meet our other detailing needs. Partially/Fully. Lets give it a chance to reach user hands, then we can comment on its use and place in our car care, etc. We have alot of experience out there and have found excellent ways to use equipment and products and learn from each other.

Re: MF Pad System...Devil's Advocate Thread
This is very interesting. A lot of great thinking points.
Mentioning that all of the reviewers have been pros is a very valid argument. Technique is more than half of the battle. I want to see people like myself with this system. What kind of results will the hobbyist get out of them? That will come soon with reviews.
Also mentioning things like using air compressors to clean the pads makes me think this is more of a pro, volume, auto dealership focused system.
This may create a system for pros to use instead of using a rotary, or at least bring the differences closer together. So in that regard I think it is an advancement.
I am not by any means knocking this system, or for that matter excited about it. My vote is still out and I am interested to see more hobbyist reviews in the future.
