MF Polishing Pads - where do they fit in the scheme of things

Got some OPT MF cutting pads but see the polishing pads by them and Megs. Seeing that Megs markets it as a total system I would assume they can be used for final finishing. So where do these MF polishing pads fit in the scheme of aggressiveness?
 
Hi there. The microfibre pads are stronger than foam pads, the amount of performance that the optimum polishing pads have - both in correction and

finishing down is incredible. I no longer use heavy, medium, light cut or polishing foam pads because of the Optimum cutting and polishing pads

however if I'm doing anything beyond a one step polish - say 3 to 7 step paint correction process, then I will always use 70 to 100 ppi foam pads for the

last few steps.





With my dynabrade 61375 and 85 heads on my rotary machines, the MF's can take out alot of nasty damage but I have another three pad materials available above them

(not wool) if the damage is incredibly bad. they finish down very well also
 
Probably the denim/felt/corduroy (or whatever they are) pads that have been mentioned on this forum being successful at removing orange peel without wet sanding. I believe it was somebody from Malaysia that came up with them, but I could be wrong.
 
BTW as far as I can tell with the new MF pads, the only difference between cut/polish/finish is the density of the foam padding. I know the Meg's MF pads are the same MF part but different foam, and I'm *pretty sure* the Optimum pads are the same story, but don't quote me on that either. I have the Opt Polishing MF pads but not their Cutting MF pads to compare them to (they weren't out when I purchased the polishing pads). I'm more of a fan of foam when it comes to final polishing and applying an LSP, however when it comes to polishing and compounding, MF pads have proven to be king for most vehicles I've came across.
