I purchased the Makita rotary a while back. Makita 9227C 7 inch Circular Polisher

Are the 2 pads that came with the buffer decent? One is a heavy cut pad and the other is a lighter cut pad. I also just purchased a LC FWP to try out. I have been using the LC CCS pads with the Makita and have the feel down some what. So far no mistakes and the Makita did the job a lot quicker than the PC.

Is there any type of video out there that shows the different ways to use a wool pad?

I wouldn't use the wool pads from Makita. You should be fine using the wool becuase it is easier to use than the foam pads.
 
Thank you. I kind of thought that the wool pads would cause me a lot of grief.

Do you have a recommendation for pads and the quantities? Please keep in mind I am not a pro so I usually only do one car at a time on a weekend.

I would be purchasing the pads from AG.

I use the 3M wool pads.
 
Go with the 3M wool pads, my Meg's wool pads always have a early funeral...........:cheers:
 
A little off topic, but what do you think of Schlegel buffing pads AR?
 
I used the PFW i know there is some that aren't big fans of them.But when i used them for the first time they were very easy to control.Just need to make sure to keep them clean while using but that goes for any wool pad.Not sure but i have a 3m wool pad but needs an adaptor that goes between the pad and the buffer so you may want to check if you also need that if buying the 3m wool also
 
I am looking at the Schlegel buffing pads and the 3M pads. Lots of choices in both product lines.

Thank you so much for all of the information.

You can always buy one of each and try them both out .I'm sure you can sell the one you don't like.Just my 2 cents

They are o.k., but I still prefer my 3M pads over them by a big margin.

Right on. It's been a few years since I've used them but it was pretty much all we used back in the day. They seemed to be of good quality and lasted pretty long. :cheers:


I do like the 3M as well but the local stores never seem to have them in stock when I go. :rolleyes:

I picked up some more pads today and saw they had some Schlegal pads. I asked the guy how they sold and he said you can blow the dust off all of them.
