MF Pad ?'s

I have been detailing for several years and have always used the foam pads, mostly CCS pads with some waffle. I have had really good success with these pads, but have been reading a lot of info about the MF pads. I was wondering what some of the advantages are to the MF pads and how people actually like them. I was looking at the Meguiars Microfiber Correction System. I know that Lake Country also offers the MF pads and was just looking to see if they had many real benefits over the foam pads before making a purchase.
 
cut faster

Tradeoff is much more work to clean them in between panels, got to use brushes like crazy and comprssed air if you have it

Edited.

I agree mf pads have a cutting advantage over foam but I have yet to have a surface where mf will finish better then foam. Can you share a little info on this ?
 
I believe Roshan meant they finish better than comparably cutting foam and wool. Can normally go from serious correction to finish with only two steps.
 
I have been using the Megs microfiber cutting discs since they were available.
They can correct swirls and fine scratches quickly and easily with no "mess".
Until recently I used a fine polishing pad w/M205 after the MF/D300 correction.
I don't have compressed air. I've always used a "Bug sponge" to clean the discs.
I'd start with two Meguiars 5" DA Microfiber Cutting Discs and a D300 Compound.
 
Sorry guys the below is indeed what I meant. I normally use a MF cutting pad and then switch to a foam white or gray pad to finish to get the best of both worlds. Sorry for the confusion.

The increase in surface area that a MF pad has allows DA polishers to work more efficiently. They will offer an increased amount of cutting action over traditional foam cutting pads while reducing the amount of haze/marring.
