I wouldn't use it, but that's just me. kind of like the pad that comes with the PC... it's just so they can say it comes with a pad.

What pad is it?

a wool pad?(sorry my makita is like 13 years old so I don't remeber)



if it is a wool pad it has a lot of cut and you will need to do two or three

more polishing steps after it to remove the marks that it WILL

put in your paint.

but if you have a very messed up car you will need it



if it is a foam pad, sorry I can't help

Original poster, you be talking wool pads - a topic not discussed much around here except to point out how serious of a cutting pad they are. I just bought a Makita too and the pads look fine. I'm just waiting on the beater that the owner doesn't care too much about before I see how they work and even then, I'll use the polishing pad with just polish (not compound) and not go over 1200 rpm. And before a couple of you get your thong in a knot, I want to add that when I experiment on a car - I have an agreement with the owner, there is no charge, and he or she was looking at getting it repainted anyway. Win Win situation.
