Hey Chris, Did they ever send out that package? No one at the dealership has seen it yet. Thanks, Cris

Hey guys, just wanted everyone to know that these guys really stand behind their product. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. they have been more than helpful and responsive. The results speak for themselves - less product, less time, better results. I might have had a problem...

You know, if it was any other car, id probably understand, but I did not snag the pad on any corners. All the panels on this car are flat. I have three lake county pads that I also used on this same car without the slightest issue and not a single pad caught any corners even though I pushed the...

The lake country does have the velcro all the way to the edge, but it is very thick so other than the friction caused by the surface contact to the paint, there is no chance that there is heat transferring from the backing plate or buffer onto the pad itself. By the way, did you get the pads...

sure, i'll send you the pads if you want

The second pad was never washed and it started to separate - it was pulling some of the foam with it. The detergent is diluted 1/5. To be honest, I love the results of using a MF pad. For polishing I prefer the results of the MF disks. It cuts quick and safe, uses less product, reduces work...

My observation when using the pad was that there was a combination of variables causing the pad failure - 1. the torque of the Makita, 2. the thickness of the foam layer, 3. the fibers laying flat (due to the motion of the orbital buffer) increasing surface tension, and 4. the SIP having more...

Sorry, I didn't realize that there were two posts regarding the MF pads, but here is what I did... As far as prepping the car - the car was clay barred with ziano prior to drying and taping up. I started buffing it with Menz SIP/1500 and a brand new Optimum MF pad. There was very little...

Also, are you suggesting that if the pad still has a small amount of moisture - that the pad will heat up more so than if it was dry? If you think about it, the pad is going to get moist regardless because the product has moisture in it - or at least the products Ive used...

Yea, the problem is 1. if I peel it off while its wet, then there is also a chance that the glue could separate... and 2. if you dont dry it out by spinning it at a higher speed, you're going to fling water and product everywhere. Ive never had a problem with any other pad - the MG MF included...

Ok, As far as prepping the car - the car was clay barred with ziano prior to drying and taping up. I started buffing it with 1500 and a brand new Optimum MF pad. There was very little correction that needed to be done. The reason I started with this step is because the car has already...

So I decided to try the Optimum Polishing MF pads. I bought 3 on one of my last orders through AG. I was probably 55% through polishing a black G wagon and the mf portion peels off from the foam. One pad on the first use - using a makita on speeds ranging between 1.5 and 2.5. I was polishing...

Im wondering the same thing. I know that the fibers lay flat and pack down (not that I have tried it on the rotary, but they seem to do this on the MG DA kit with the flex. I found myself constantly fluffing the pad with the air hose... Maybe I wasn't doing it right, but I found myself...

After thinking about it for some time, I THINK that although the product is still "the same" regarding its serial number, there has to be some sort of difference in the product/formulation itself. I think that although both cut and polish, the older stuff wasn't exactly formulated for cutting...
