I've been using these pads for a long time.  When they stopped making the 3" version for about 6 months, I started to explore some other offerings, but I have always preferred the Meguiar's.  Maybe the reason I like them so much is just familiarity, but there is no doubt these are really good.  I've learned how most paints react to these with various polishes.  Most commonly I will use this pad with Jescar Correcting Compound.  Meguiar's also makes Heavy Cut and Finishing microfiber polishing pads, but I've never found a need for those.  I only use this version that is called Cutting microfiber.

A couple of things to note when using:

  1. Microfiber, by design and make-up, grabs things and holds onto them.  You'll want to have some kind of air source to blow out the pads often when using with a polish.
  2. I generally only get these out of the cabinet when I am going to get more aggressive.  So I would typically use when I have scratches that won't come out with foam and a milder polish.  Use with Jescar Correcting Compound, Scholl's S3 Gold, etc.
  3. I think it is important to prime these by spreading polish onto each fiber prior to use.

Specifications/Tips

  1. Use with Meguiar’s Professional 6” Backing Plate
  2. Apply product uniformly to disc and work surface with a Dual Action Polisher at 4800opm.
  3. Clean disc frequently
  4. Deep clean disc by machine washing

Care

I clean them in the sink using Koch Chemie Green Star APC after every use.  If you take care of them, they generally last a long time.  Don't wash with anything that leaves a residue behind that could affect the paint next time you polish.  Dawn leaves something behind on the pads, so it is recommended you don't use that.  I also rarely get them washed right after a day of polishing, so there is no rush to get most water based polishes washed out. 


These come in 3 sizes and only come in 2 Packs. I think you will want at least 6 of each size. I have 12 of each in my cabinet, all slightly oversized on their respective backing plate sizes. This offers a degree of safety when approaching edges and curves.

3" is 3.25"
5" is 5.5"
6" is 6.25"
