Favorite Pads for Compounding & Polishing?

I do love the Meguiar's MF pads. Also LC CCS or Flat. I have used Megs Soft-Buff pads on cars, but i now use those on boats and RV's, i like 5.5-6 in pads on cars better.
 
Meg's MF cutting pads and LC flat yellow, orange and white are what I use most. Also been using the HF orange and blue pads while they've been on sale. Haven't used anything yet I don't like, just been sticking with what I know works well for me.
 
For cutting I currently use Meguiars MF cutting discs and Buff and Shine orange 5.5" pads. For polishing I like Meguiars MF finishing discs as well as the green and black Buff and Shine 5.5" pads depending on the paint. Next I plan to try the Carpro cool pad and cool wool pad for heavy cutting.
 
the one pad i have never liked is the lc white,regardless if its flat,ccs or otherwise.just seems to get plugged up fast.after useing b&s/hd pads it got demoted to the sideline.
 
I like Tuf Buf black wool pads on the DA for cutting. I still prefer foam over MF for finishing.



I'm still learning the rotary. I'm learning that of wool, cutting, polishing, and finishing pads on the rotary, I can get a similar cut with a polishing pad and 205 or UNO with the rotary compared to my most aggressive combo with the DA. I can't believe so many recently started disliking the rotary for heavy compounding. I'm still learning it, but I really love the smooth operation and awesome defect killing ability of it.



I bought the Dewalt 849x, btw.
 
Megs MF (cutting/polishing) pads for cutting



LC Hydro tangerine and crimson for polishing/finishing on most paints. The new Rupes pads are looking impressive as well but I need more time with them.
 
One more for Meguiar's MF cutting disks.



For polishing, I just might do more work with Griot's orange polishing pads than with anything else :think:
 
Correcting - Flexipads Microfibre pads, Rayon, Surbuf, Leather and Velvet pads

Polishing - flexipads yellow 80ppi, buff and shine black 90ppi, LC gold 100ppi and flexipads ivory 110ppi Jewelling pads
 
Jean-Claude- Ah, I'd wondered if anybody was still favoring the PFW! I've pretty much retired mine since discovering the MF Cutting Disks.

For a rotary, I love foamed wool. There's nothing like it of what I have used. DA, different stuff going on over there.
 
When you guys are saying Meguiars MF cut and polish pads is the MF for microfiber? If so I don't see them anywhere. Not even on the meguiars website.
