Re: The DA Cutting Pad Show Down
Awesome info! Will have to reconsult all my pads to figure out a good attack scheme when Megs MF Cutting pads with 101 doesn`t cut it on the really bad defects that need levelling!

Meguiar`s had a well-documented problem with their first batch of MF pads. Such issues have been resolved. I haven`t had any issues with their newest offerings.

I believe they addressed that quite a while back.
I have had no issues with the newer Megs mf discs.

3rd: I would love to see this test done with a Flex3401 & Rupes21. Comparing the pads as well as the machines since everyone seems to be asking the question of which machine cuts better.
I may do something like this in the future. The thing is that the PC is by far our best selling machine so I wanted this info to help as many people as possible. Also, like any comparo, the results are going to be dependent on the paint, temperature, etc.

Re: The DA Cutting Pad Show Down
great review todd. i can tell you work very hard at what you do and i personally want to thank you for helping all of us novices as well as experts on what and how to use the myriad ways of polishes and pads to use on our cars. thank you sir
Re: The DA Cutting Pad Show Down
Thanks for the great review Todd ! I just have a couple of questions you may be able to answer. 1. Do you think that the haze that was left behind from the lake country thin wool pad would clean up with just some M205 on a white pad ? 2. Do you think this pad would work well for removing deep etched water spots in glass ? I see this problem a lot in the area I am from. Thanks !
Re: The DA Cutting Pad Show Down
I really appreciate all the info and hard work Todd. You helped me decide on my pad order. Perfect timing. I think your results were right on and honest. Thanks man!

Thank you.
1. Yes.
2. No. You will need specific cutting pads and a glass-cutting compound.

Re: The DA Cutting Pad Show Down
Just ordered some LC yellow pads. I`m very impressed with the finish for a cutting pad.
