Hello everyone, I wanted to see if anyone know the difference between the meguiars soft buff and soft buff 2. I've been using ccs pads but they are a little too stiff for my taste. Does any one know how they stack up to each other? Thanks
 
Meg's pads in general are my favorites. My biggest complaint about them though is the new size. Meg's went from 6.5" on the original SB pads to 7" on the SB 2 pads. I like buffing with smaller pads whether it's on the DA or on the rotary. I think Meg's has made a big mistake going to a bigger pad w/o offering a smaller pad as well. Since Meg's offers nothing smaller than 6.5", I resort to the LC CCS 5.5" low profile pads a lot of the time, particularly on the DA. I too dislike the standard 6.5" LC CCS pads. Even though they are the same diameter as the Meg's pads, I think they may be taller and/or heavier than the Meg's pads.



If Meg's made a flat 5.5" low profile pad similar to the LC pad, I'd be all over it because 1) I prefer flat pads, 2) I think Meg's foam is much nicer than the LC foam, 3) Meg's pads are cut better, 3) Meg's have a slightly curved edge. I've seen numerous LC pads that aren't cut properly so you get a lot of vibrations, even if it's perfectly centered. Plus, their pads have a sharp edge that makes rotary buffing more cumbersome, IMO.
