    griots 6.5 orange vs black microfiber finishing

    i read somewhere that the black microfiber finishing pad has quite a bit more cut the the orange foam correcting pad, is this true?

    Fibers can be a form of abrasive.

    So "yes" a microfiber pad, made up of individual fibers can and will cut as good or better than a foam pad which has a uniform surface texture.

    This is just one of the reasons Meguiar's was able to introduce the Microfiber DA Correction System as a way to use a dual action polisher to replace a rotary buffer for the production detailing industry.
