They cut as much if not more than the most aggressive cutting pad and finish about as nice as an orange pad on a DA. The finishing microfiber has about as much cut as an orange pad but finishes about as nice as a finishing foam. They are just so polish dependent and so unique its hard to measure them. They are also tool specific.
    Awesome, thanks!

    Re: Meguiar`s vs. Lake Country Pad Comparison Chart.

    Cool... Thanks for the chart, that will definitely come in handy.

    I just picked up my 1st polisher, a Dewalt 443. Wasn`t exactly what I wanted, but I got it cheap (*$50 like brand new) at a local pawn shop.

    I read it can be slightly modified to perform decently, and plan to get some LC CSS 6.5" pads later this week. As a newbie I was gonna go with LC`s CSS Pads (2) orange, (2) white, and (2) grey to apply #105/#205 and either a finishing glaze or sealant.

    Is this a good start?

    Honestly, the yellow/purple/wool pads for heavier cutting kinda freak me out a bit, as a newbie I have a huge fear of `scorching` through someone`s paint...lol.

    BTW... the PC w/5.5" pads is on the top of my wish list, so I am hoping the Dewalt will suffice to get me there.

    Thanks again, it`s good to be able to cross-reference LC & Meg`s, and after reading this I`m off to explore B&S pads now.
    Running down a dream...
