I too dropped LC in favor of B&S. Last Saturday I discovered that the MF "polishing" pad (gray foam back) actually worked better than the MF cutting pad (orange foam backing). I was 1 stepping a 2005 dark gray Honda Accord, paint had light swirls and plenty of oxidation. I used D300 and made use of my air compressor to keep the pads clean between sections.
And..........finished down LSP ready!
