S.M. Arnold pads

I am currently using Meguiar's pads and system, but would be interested in the future to give the Prima system a try. I've asked the question about pads previously and have overwhelmingly positive comments for all LC pads.

I just recently saw SM Arnold pads from a retailer that I've used in the past. These pads look like LC pads and have a similar system of varying degrees of aggressiveness in the pads (though I think not as many).

Does anyone have any comments or reviews of SM Arnold pads? With the Prima system? Any thoughts are appreciated.

I've searched the forums, but it seems any discussion of these pads are about 2 years old.

SM Arnold foam pads are very good. The speedy cut pads work well with a rotary since they have slots in them. The white finishing foam is 100PPI which is the finest made.

Do you know how they work out on the PC? Anyone have any thoughts on the Arnold pads on the PC? Thanks!

I have a 4 pack set of the 3.5in micro pads. They've been very nice pads for me, occasional use with a PC. I think they're probably as good quality as the popular Lake Country pads and would buy them again. I'd like to pickup the 60ppm green foam light compounding pad in the future. I heard good reports about it here.

I actually am a distributor of SMA. They make some quality pads. The "Cool-It" pads that wannafbody was talking about are very popular. They also make some very popular 2" pile wool pads. Check them out! as far as with the PC, i personally don't carry anything small enough, since we sell 7.5-8 inch pads, but let me know about your experiences!
