Just received the new Micro Fiber polishing pads from Optimum. From what I’ve been told I am the 1st person to receive them. They look very interesting to say the least!!! The fabric is pretty much identical to the Meg’s design, but the foam used is completely different. These are the final design for the polishing application and the Cutting pads will be available within the next few weeks. I’ll be using these this weekend on their madden voyage. I’ll keep you posted how they work after. Stay tuned….
Here`s some pics:

I agree...the MF portion looks identical, but the foam looks more porous than the megs ones. Interesting to see how they hold up and compare to megs in cutting (when the cutting pads come out), and longevity....

Thanks for posting this Dave. Saw it on Facebook just now
Am about to email Mr G about them
Gee we really do have a wide variety of pads available today
denim, velvet, MF, Surbuf, Wool, Foam, Foamed wool and Silk wool
Am currently investigating other sources of pad materials from a UK manufacturer of fabricsCar care/detailing sadly isn`t high on the agenda for 98% of australians.
