Recently started a thread sharing my recent experiences with all of the different MF Pads.
https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...iber-pads.html
To summarize,
I think the new LC pads are more durable, cut better, and run smoother than the old Megs MF pads
The buff and shine uro-fiber pads are by far the most durable MF pads I've ever used, are extremely smooth, but will not cut quite as well as the other 3. That said, it is the best best for 1-step compounds and even works well with AIO's like HD Speed and Boss Finishing Sealant.
Boss is more durable than Megs, but you need to switch them out regularly. It cuts nearly as much as LC an Megs do but runs MUCH cooler. It also finishes nearly as well as the B&S uro-fiber pads. Honestly, I don't understand why LC would release a microfiber pad without a center cooling chamber. I feel that is what really gives the boss MF and uro-fiber pads an edge in performance even though the LC pad is still remarkably durable.

Lake Country HDO Foam Pads
HDO Fiber Heavy Cutting Pad
Features a microfiber nap that removes heavy imperfections from your painted surfaces. Like other microfiber pads, it will enough to remove moderate to severe paint imperfections, but finishes like a foam pad.

Re: Best 3 inch cutting pads
The Optimum Hyper Wool Pad have a lot of cut if you have not tried them yet. They will leave a bit of haze, but they will out cut a MF pad

Re: Best 3 inch cutting pads
Wow thanks for sharing all this information. I really appreciate it. Gives me a pretty good idea of which brand to buy next.
Would MF pads be suitable for a rotary with a 3" soft backing plate? Or should I buy a DA that will have the option of installing a 3" backing plate?

Re: Best 3 inch cutting pads
MF pads are not popular on a rotary and for very good reason. The work best with a free spinning DA.
