Microfiber pads are more aggressive than foam pads when it comes to cutting. Our DA Foam Finishing Disc/Pad (black) is a soft foam pad that can be used to apply wax. It is available in two sizes: 5" and 6". DFF6 is the part number for the 6".
Without a doubt, no issue. Simply let us know when you'd like them delivered and we'll handle the rest. br>Many thanks, Vickbr>
Hello, Alberto. I own and use both of them. I'm going to tell it like it is - They both appear to be nearly identical until you examine them closely, and I don't believe there would be a significant difference in performance if you used one over the other for compound cutting or waxing (which is what I do with the finishing pad). Regardless, they perform admirably, and I'm very pleased with these pads on the Meguiars DA polisher. I do professional detailing for a classic car restoration shop, and this stuff makes my job a lot easier while also making the cars look great.
No, we don't recommend applying multiple steps/products with the same disc or pad.
Selected User Reviews For Meguiar's DMF6 DA 6" Microfiber Finishing Disc, 2 Pack , White
These Meguiar's DMF6 finishing pads have a lot of appeal for me. I'm new to everything and after my first use with the pads, I was very frustrated because I couldn't get them clean. With my Black, I applied Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax with one. To remove it, use the Decker WP900 Orbital and the second pad. There was a lot of wax residue on the first one. br>br>*After washing them didn't work the first time, I devised a simple method to clean them: I pressed down and moved a standard kitchen knife across the pad with the back edge (smooth edge). The wax residue was pushed straight up and out of the way. I gave them another wash and they're as good as new. It's worth a shot. I hope this information is useful!.
This is the first time I've had a bad experience with a Meguiar's product - I've used quite a few of them in the past. I was polishing a coupe with a Rupes LHR21 II "bigfoot" polisher and Mequire's polishing compound on speed 3. The disc sheared through the backing pad about halfway into the car. As a result, I switched to the second pad and slowed to 2. 5 speed - As I was finishing up, the second pad began to separate as well (see first photo). Because I needed to do a little more finishing work on the first pad, I used contact cement to glue it together (the seam line can be seen in the second picture). br>br>I don't believe I've ever mistreated these finishing discs; Even at a slow speed, the foam backing can't seem to keep up with the bigfoot polisher. I've had no problems using other brands of finishing discs with the same polisher.
To begin, I'd like to say a few words about the book. Outside of eblow grease and generic wash/wax products from the autostore, I'm a comfortable "DIY" person with almost no experience in finishing / buffing cars. To take on a classic car that had sat for 30 years oxidizing, getting sun spotted, and accumulating dirt, I knew I'd have to significantly increase my knowledge and approach. br>br>After a lot of reading and considering possible solutions, I decided to take on a classic car that had sat for 30 years oxidizing, getting sun spotted, and accumulating dirt. I ended up with the following items:
- Astro 4607 5" PU backing pad and Porter Cable 7424XPbr>- Application of Meguiar's D300 Correction Compound with Meguiar's DMC6 Cutting Discbr>- Meguiar's D301 Finishing Wax applied with Meguiar's DMF6 Finishing Discbr>br>These choices were made based on what appeared to be a good result with a low risk of burning through existing paint or otherwise "doing more harm than good. " My hopes were high, but my expectations were low. My expectations for the final product were exceeded. There's a case to be made that a higher-cut product would have sufficed for the vehicle in question - However, I was concerned about my ability to use it effectively without causing more harm than good. br>br>In any case, the Meguiar's products did an amazing job of removing oxidation, imperfections, and restoring shine - the photos speak for themselves. However, I believe the photographs do not adequately convey how significant the difference is in person. br>br>Having said that, the car was haphazardly repainted 30 years ago. It has numerous nicks and dings, as well as some areas that have been damaged beyond repair by any product, and other flaws. I didn't expect a show-quality car; all I wanted was something that would look "GOOD" while driving and having fun for a few years until I could afford a more extensive restoration. With that goal in mind, I believe this was the ideal product selection. br>br>Here are some notes I took during the application process for this project:br>- D300 is used in three different ways. Most of the oxidation was taken up by the first. Because of all of the grime and garbage, this application appeared to be "ugly" when it was in use. With this application, the product tended to dry on and leave a residue without several pauses to clean the pad. Given the car's initial state, this was not surprising. The second application went much more smoothly, with the finish smoothing out and the color returning. Only minor changes were made in the third application. IE - precisely what you desire At that point, you almost didn't seem to be doing anything.
- To remove any remaining residue, wipe it down with a microfiber cloth by hand. br>- 1 application of D301, worked in a circular motion until the wax lines / cloudiness are nearly gone.
- To remove any excess wax and even out the rest of the application, use a dry microfiber cloth after applying circular hand polish. br>br>According to the bottle's instructions: Air compressors can be used to clean pads. After each application, I blew out both discs on the tool while spinning them. I'm actually impressed with how well they keep "cleaning up" - over and over. br>br>I hope this information is helpful in deciding whether or not to take on a project - in addition to - being ecstatic in the same way that I am!.
The cutting pad performs admirably, but the polishing pad's backing is less so. A corner of the backing bent and tore the foam while using the polishing machine on setting 5. The car paint was scratched by the polishing machine Velcro because it was not covered by a pad. Worse, it was only its first time behind the wheel of a car. The high price is not justified; there are others that are much less expensive and of higher quality.
I tried foam pads with my orbital polisher, and while they worked fine, they didn't last very long. These microfiber pads appear to be more durable, and my results were comparable to the foam pads while being less expensive. They also cleaned up well, so I'm confident I'll be able to use them again in the future.
I had just begun the polish phase of paint correction when I used garbage for the second time. After 10 minutes, I noticed something was wrong with the machine, so I turned it off. The pad fell off the backing plate, and I noticed it had split in half halfway through. The second pad performed admirably, but I had expected it to last more than one or two uses, resulting in a waste of money.
This is excellent work, but I would not purchase the cutting pads because they do not last.
Excellent craftsmanship.
