    Best all around pads

    Foam, microfiber, or wool? I have an assortment of LC foam pads and they are getting a bit tired. I have used wool covers over my pads for nasty work before. I have never used microfiber. So, because I am not a rich man, what would be the best all around pad to use?

    Re: Best all around pads

    I have never used any other type of pads except foam. To be more specific any Lake Country Pad. But the best is the Lake Country Hybrid Pads for my Flex 3401.

    I have never used wool or MF Pads as I never see the need to try something different.

    If it ain't broke don't fix it! That's my analogy for me.

    Sorry for not being much help with the other 2 types of pads.

    Re: Best all around pads

    b&s 5.5" flat pads and/or the megs thin 5" DA foam discs are solid choices. as mentioned, the mf pads can be used for the heavier correction so it won't hurt to get a few of those as well...

    B&S flat and microfibers, Optimum microfibers. Really not much you can't do with either brand.

    B&S 5.5" foam is my go to
    I also use microfiber and foamed wool, but the flat foam is my favourite

    Re: Best all around pads

    I currently have the LC 5.5" flat pads. They are getting tired and want to replace them with 6.5's as I am now using the Griot's machine. I have used wool in the past for cutting and it does a great job in short time. But I never used wool for polishing or waxing so not sure how they do. Microfiber is new tech for me. Just want one type of pad that will get the best results in the shortest time and least work. That's why I am questioning?
