PC Polishing pads that is!
I understand there might be a few threads out there now answering these questions. However I`m way too swamped with homework to do a search for anything, and I need to order before this weekend because I have a job on Saturday (weather permitting)
I have since retired my first pad. A Sonus v.2 model, orange light cutting pad. It was a good pad, but the velcro area is beginning to seperate, and the `face` is getting kind of `knubbly`.
But the good news is that I get to buy some new pads! I would like something of good quality, and something different than the Sonus line (great pads, but I`d like to be able to try other brands as well for comparison). I would like 1 or 2 yellow cutting (I think I`ve become skilled enough with the PC for this) pads, 1 or 2 orange light cutting pads, and 3-4 white polshing pads. I haven`t used the `variable contact` pads, but how do they compare to the tradtional flat pads I`m used to?
What brands are worthy? Obviously LC, Meg`s (pricey?), etc.
For the 7-8 pads, I`d like to keep it around ~$80 including shipping if possible. And, an [almost] necessity would be shopping all from the same place. I`ve checked out TOL, CMA, and Detailers Paradise. Just wanna know what some of your opinions may be.
Btw, I`m not really in the market for a pad kit. I don`t need any of the finishin pads, or bonnets etc that they normally come with.
Thanks in advance :wavey
