I'm thinking of trying MF bonnets with my PC for LSP removal, but I have zero experience with them. Which bonnets have you guys had good luck with? Cobra? Meguiars? Sonus? All suggestions welcome!
 
I was reading in the PC tutorial that some people removed the product by hand...Im in the dark on this issue as well.
 
Frito Bandito- My faves on the PC are the Meg's bonnets, but if you like the natural-fiber MFs like the CBT, they make bonnets in that material too and they oughta be very nice.



jermar- IME they're best for buffing off LSP residue.
 
Thanks for the suggestion Accumulator. The Meguiars MF bonnets were at the top of my list since I can't seem to find anyone that's tried anything else. ;)



I know I'll probably need to make another pass by hand to get all the LSP off but I think MF bonnets on my PC could speed things up when I'm talked into detailing a friend or family members car.

I use the ones I got from Autogeek, can't remember if they were labeled or not but may be Cobra's. They definitely speed things up for me - easily put them over a wool pad and it works great. Before doing that I tried stretching them over a regular foam pad, now that was a pain:wall

My wool pads always compressed and became less-than-optimal, so I now use my bonnets exclusively over foam. Yeah, it can be a real PIA to get them on; I have a few pads that're more like 5.5" and the bonnets fit over them a lot easier than over my ~6-6.5" ones.



I like using them over fairly firm cutting pads like the Meg's 7006, seems to grip bonnet well. The first generation of Griot's bonnets were *awful* as the pad just slipped around inside them and nothing worthwhile got done.

I'll have to try it on the 5.5" pads, just got some recently. I gotta admit that over the wool pads the bonnets aren't exactly smooth, but was alot more convenient for me than trying to work the 6.5" pads (which left it a little lumpy underneath due to the compression).
 
As an alternative, I've known people to just fold up a towel and put the buffer on it. I guess it works fine when you figure out how not to drop the towel on the ground.
