Questions on MF pads vs foam

[dogma]

I have both of the Meguiars MF pads from WM cutting and finishing. I also have various foam pads.

Why or when do you use MF pads instead of foam?

 

[IHA Mark]

I use MF pads because they seem to work faster and more efficient than foam. I like using 2 pads because it keeps my pad expenses down. Every once in a while if the situation arises I will grab a foam pad, but I would say 90% of the time I just reach for MF. It is a simplification/efficiency thing for me.

You need both pads IMO... I only use MF for cutting to keep the swirls down then finish with foam. I get better results with the foam when it comes to finishing (on a rotary which is my weapon of choice).
