Help with pad colors

[Flash Gordon]

Would you all start out with flats or CCS? I looked at the megs MF but that may be a few weeks down the road.

Flats

Just turn down the speed on your DA. No I am not confusing SurBuf with Megs MF system. I haven't used the Megs system, I have used the SurBuf pads.

I will give it a shot and see what happens

OP, go ahead and try the surbufs for whatever you want. Just know that on most paint you aren't going to be able to finish LSP ready with the Surbuf pads. It seems that certain people might have agendas here. I have no agenda, and just want you to get the best results possible. Good luck.

Yes they are, did you even read the description on the AG site?

"Surbuf R Series 6.5 Inch Buffing Pads perform well with a variety of products, but many detailers have reported great success with Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound and #205 Ultra Finishing Polish. These two polishes use super-micro abrasives to remove imperfections without haze or compounding swirls. Surbuf R Series 6.5 Inch Buffing Pads keep the tiny abrasives within the MicroFingers, rather than soaking up the polishes, so the polishes are allowed to perform at their full potential.

Unlike other pad systems that offer various "cuts", Surbuf R Series 6.5 Inch Buffing Pads are suitable for any polishing or waxing application. The Surbuf pad provides a safe, nonabrasive applicator that allows the product to work as intended. If you're used to multiple pads, you'll need to experiment to find the right speed and length of time to work in a polish or cleaner. Follow the product manufacturers' instructions. Once you get the hang of it, Surbuf R Series 6.5 Inch Buffing Pads just might replace all your polishing and finishing pads!"

Yeah well what it says and what it does are two totally different things I have yet to get a surbuf to finish down to what I feel is an acceptable finish.

Hmm, I haven't had any issues. So far I have used Menz SIP and Megs D151.

These 2 videos might help

SurBuf 1

SurBuf 2

No doubt those videos show the Surbufs removing 3000 grit sanding marks. But you can tell under the hand held light that there is still some haze and small imperfections. If that is an acceptable finish for someone, thats fine, but I would rather refine it as much as I can with a foam pad.
