105/205 & Hydro pads

[LRC3]

I think I read somewhere 105/205 are SMAT products and I thought I came across a thread stating the hydro pads work better with DAT products.

Can someone give me some feedback on this combo. Yes/no

Or should I pull the trigger on 400/4000? I really would like to finish at least half my Megs stuff.

I'll be working on a black sequoia btw

I would say it's more like DAT works better with HT or flat pads. They should be fine with M105/205. I use my ccs pads with M105/205 only because I am trying to get rid of them and then will probably only use flat pads for everything.

SMAT --> CCS or flat
DAT --> flat

These are the hydro thin pads I'm referring too. Sorry should have mentioned that.

I'm in the same boat trying to finish up 105/205 I don't believe in wasting products unless they don't perform and we all know 105/205 does!!

I just wanted some real time feedback with this combo...

As I said, you will be fine with the hydrotech pads and M105/205. If anything you might see a little more bite/work time with the closed cell hydrotechs because less product will be absorbed into the pad. I just switched to HT's for my sealant pads because it seems so much gets wasted into the pad with open cell flat and ccs pads.

I use Hydrotech pads for any polish. I like M205 on Tangerine.

My sequioa is in decent shape, I'm really hoping to start with 205/tangerine.


Thanks to both of you for your feedback

I personally prefer to use a ccs or flat pad instead of HT, really don`t think this pads can perform better than the 2 first mentioned above. I gave them a few try but not satisfied. 105/205 is a good combo to go with for sure!!

I think I've found a home with Hex Logic's pads. Particularly with a two step, I like their open cell pads, the green cutting/polishing, and blue polishing/finishing.

One of the nice features of the open celled pads for me is that I use a lot less product, and the pad itself has some bite to it. If I need anything more agrees I've than the green Hex Logic, I move over to the Rupes microfiber discs.

Another great pad is Lake Country's pink, and green ccs pads.
