I found these specs. It seems the VAH is simply a revised version of the VA. Not sure what's different though.

According to the manufacturer, it will strip wax to some extent but not sealant. At any rate if it didn't strip the wax then it also didn't remove any iron that would be imbedded in the paint. To each his own...
In most cases I get little to no hazing with the Meg's pads. Another try with the Opt pads on white gave the same results. Same speed, same product, same machine and same panel.
This was my first time using the Opt pads. I didn't really test them to see which cut better. I could've one stepped the car with the Meg's pad and it would've been close enough for what was desired. The Opt disc wouldn't have allowed this. I used a 9006 to remove the haze.
Cuts decently but did leave more hazing than the Meg's cutting disc. Cleaned up easily with a polishing pad and FPII. This was using a PCXP on a black SL Mercedes.
