Pad Help Please

Luke,
It really depends on how much correction needs to be done, and the hardness of the paint. If you need major correction done and the paint is pretty hard, then go for the Surbuf pads. They obviously do not finish down as the cyan pads do, and will leave some degree of marring. But, they really do take care of the swirls much quicker then the cyan pads do. The 7`8" Hydrotech pads are a better option for a DA then the standard size Hydrotech pads.
I hope this helps.

+1 on the Surbuff Pads.

However the thinner Hydrotech Pads should reduce pad wear (as well as increase cutting power) so if you are foam fan that would be a great choice as well.

Thank you Barry. I do have Tangerine pads for polishing, so I am thinking for cutting I can use M105 on tangerine for softer clears or M105 on Surbuf for major correction.

Thanks Todd, will the surbuf last as long as foam pads? And I have never used them, I saw there is a learning curve, but at the price and reviews of the surbufs I am very interested in trying them out.

That`s about it Luke!!:thumbup:

The Surbuf pads unfortunately will not last as long as foam pads, but they are cheap enough, so it equals out in the end.

And they seem fairly thin too. Having not used them, I want to find out as much as I can before buying them.
