I just got showcar detail on a Corvette so I'll need to pick up some more aggressive pads, looking at the wool category right now. The yellow Uber has taken care of every hard clear coat I've come across but the Vette clearcoat is on another level. Anyway, I came across a 2 year old thread talking about Micro-Surface Tuf-Buff Black Lambswool pads, seem to be a lot smoother and cut a tad less than normal wool, which is exactly what I'm looking for. However, since the thread is 2 years old, are there any new wool pads that are better? Also, is there anyplace else besides the Micro-Surface site that sells these pads? I'd really rather use Paypal. This is for a Makita 9227 btw. Thanks! Here's a link: TufBuf Black Natural Lambswool Polishing Pad [TUFB-01] - $1.90 : MICRO-SURFACE FINISHING PRODUCTS, INC
damn i have been wondering where the heck to get these pads from. Nice to finally know. I just hope that shipping doesn't rape all the way to Hawaii LoL.
Get them - they're a great pad to have on hand. http://micro-surface.com/index.php?main_page=us_distributor

Maybe Phil could pick these pads up? I've heard nothing but great things about them and apparently Micro-Mesh doesn't have any U.S. Distributors for automotive yet.
if they don't ship USPS then forget about it for me. It wouldn't be worth it to have these pads shipped UPS or FedEx for me as the price of shipping would well exceed the value of the pads.
Yeah, I looked all over for hours and that's pretty much it. It would be cool if Phil did carry these.
Just looked at my emails with them. They DO ship USPS, but the price is the same whether its shipped via UPS or USPS. :shrug:
Yea I forgot about this thread, but I used these pads on the Corvette and they're great. Combined with M105, they cut hard, fast, and smooth. Very easy to control and clean, no shedding at all. They were worth the shipping :thumb: 5" fits well with the 3M Perfect-it backing plate.
