Hey guys. Im new to the detailing stuff and recently picked up Meguiars 105 and have been using the pads that came with my Harbor Freight rotary. It came with a wool one and a foam one thats reasonably coarse. Pretty large pores for foam...Anyway....I tried the wool followed by the foam on my black car with the 105 and it took away a lot, if not all, of the defects...BUT...it left me with some lovely buffer holograms.
Im planning on picking up a sampler size of Meguiars 205 to finish the car up with, but I feel like the foam pad im using from Harbor Freight is the real problem.
I was hoping you guys could recommend a good pad for me to use with 205 to remove medium/light holograms and leave me with a good enough finish that I can throw some wax over.
The meguiars forum recommended I pick up one if their black finishing pads, but I wanted to ask a forum that doesnt have a bias toward one company or another. Im guessing the black is the least abrasive pad they make...just want to triple make sure that the pad will do what im trying to do before i spend the money.
Im only looking to spend around 10 bucks on a pad. Thanks guys.
