Which pads do you prefer?

If you are going to use anything orange or more aggressive you should just use wool. Wool cuts better and levels the paint better which in turn gives you a better finish.

 

ya i got purple wool on the way....i like your thinking though asphalt...

 

You actually need to step up to a full wool pad, works even better than a foamed wool
pad.

 

Orange 5.5 CCS pad on my PC Its allways been enough for me

and if it ain't broke don't fix it

 

just wanna give it a try

 

Sorry but there is no way you can do full correction with a pc and orange pad. You might make the vehicle look a little better but not to the point a wool pad and then a foam pad with finishing polish will.

 

I see no problem with that but after you use that, try a full wool pad and you will see even more of a difference.

 

lol ok...ill see for myself

 

My car as Very fresh paint so its more of an upkeep on those spots that get alot of swirls, I allways follow up with a white pad with a finishing polish. I know its not going to get the correction a Rotary will but I don't have a rotary & don't have the cash to buy one :sorry:

 

megs pads and sonus pads are the best in my opinion.
I gave away my LC pads.. i burned paint twice with those pads. but i still use the 4 inch once with great care..

 

Where do you get these 3M UK pads you guys speak of?

 

+1, in the US that is.

 

PM detailersdomain he has them sometimes, and if not he can get them.:thumb:

 

Carlos has some for sale in a thread up, titled "Only for detailing bliss members" or something like that. Availible are cutting, polishing, and finishing 3M UK pads, IIRC.

 

i am in love with the 3m uk pads... i really like the lc pads too but damn the waffle design in the 3m uk pads is awesome. and they are so easy to control. i find it easier to use with one hand than the lc pads.. plus the backing is top quality on the 3m pads.. though i will say maybe too much as i went to tear it off the 3m backing plate and it ripped around the velcro boarder. still only 2 pads i have ever used as i am a bit of a noob with the rotary. but i love it and have had great results.

 

Megs and LC.
