I love the Meguiar's Microfiber pad kit. The kit consists of two cutting pads, two finishing pads and a bottle each of compound and a fine polish/finishing wax.
I've owned a PC since March of 1995 and can say without reservation that these are the best pads I've ever used. They work fast, almost twice as fast as foam IMO, and finish out nicely. I'll still use foam for jeweling if needed. These pads are fast, IME generally twice as fast as foam for removing defects. I can easily two-step a vehicle where I used to need three and the result is every bit as good as the foam route. The microfiber pads are rugged and I've some that have seen over 40 vehicles. The keys to using these pads is to initially prime the pads properly then apply three pea sized dots of compound to the pad for each pass. The performance of these pads depends upon them being kept clean. The best method I've found for cleaning them is to use my air compressor. I blow the pad clean after every couple of passes. These pads also work best at the speeds recommended. |
I'm also in the market for a new polisher. What are everyone's thoughts on the Meguiar's Professional Dual Action Polisher? It's a dual action polisher for $149.95 with free super shipping.

In case you decide on getting the Porter 7424XP, amazon is selling it for $89 (after $20 discount applied at checkout).
I ordered it yesterday - make sure you select amazon.com as the seller (even if it isn't currently in stock - and may take up to 3-5 weeks to ship). I ordered mine from Amazon 2 weeks ago.. Before I saw this thread. Received an AMAZINGLY LOW price. Chose FREE shipping. STILL YET ..... The Poster Cable 7424XP still showed up in a factory-sealed box in less than 10 days (after ordering) ! Ordered my Meguier's 5" backing plate elsewhere. Highly recommended you use ONLY the Meguiars W67DA DA Backing Plate. If you buy wisely, you CAN find this online for less than $ 22 DELIVERED.
