new to the world of detailing

You can also look into these HD pads. I actually prefer them to LC pads. 3D Car Care; Car Wash, Car Wax, Auto Detailing supplies, Car Polishers, Car Buffers & accessories store

Good to have yellow cutting (finishes as good as the orange pads, green polish/light cut and I use the black finishing pads. Maybe red for applying waxes and sealants.

If you need extra backing plates, it is good to have 1 at least 1 as backup like this one. �

thanks everyone...i just got some #105 which i think would be pretty good for cleaning up the swirl marks on my jetta mk3. i was thinking of using the mp gg 3 to clean up after the #105. Also im going get some lake country pads too. I'm going to test out the pads that i have once i get my pads from lake country. which ones should i buy? i was going to get one of each so ill have a nice selection. also should i purchase some extra backing plates?

..Good to have yellow cutting (finishes as good as the orange pads...)...

Just to clarify, I'm sure Thomas is referring to the 3D/HD yellow cutting pad when he says that. I would *NOT* recommend the yellow *LC* cutting pad as IME it doesn't finish well enough to justity it's increased cut and other cutting pads (e.g., MF, PFW) are better in that regard.

And hey Thomas, if I'm wrong about that, call me out!

finally got my m#105

OK, that should handle the aggressive work (at least if you use the right pad(s) it will). I dunno...I would *NOT* expect the GG MP#3 to be a sufficiently aggressive follow up to M105.

It *MIGHT* work if you did an intermediate step with M105 on a very gentle pad...others do stuff like that and are happy with the results, but for *me* it'd simply still be too big a jump (going from M105 to MP#3) no matter how I did it.

how to u feel about wool cutting pads

IF, and that can be a big "if", you use the right ones they can work fine. And wool runs cooler than foam so they can be safer too.

I reached for some 4" wool pads a few times during my last big correction.

BUT...all-in-all I think you should just stick with MF cutting pads for the aggressive work.

IF (again, maybe a big "if") those are the same as Cyclo brand pads, and they *do* show 'em on a Cyclo, not that *that* means much....then 4 of orange/green/black would be OK.

But I'd *STILL* want MF cutting pads for the serious correction. That's not gonna change
