as subject. Rupes foam pads vs megs microfiber finishing and cutting pads.

on Vag paints etc. post your reviews

ChrisGT:
I usually use microfiber for cutting and foam for finishing. I use megs microfiber and lake country or hex logic foam pads. Can depend what compound or polish you're using too. It's a lot of personal choice to get the finish you want  :smiley:

I've used a few of the rupes foam and microfiber pads. I liked the microfiber pads and the white foam pads but didn't like the blue or green foam pads, again it's just personal preference. I would suggest getting one of each and see what you like using.

I use a megs g220v2 DA polisher but when I was using the rupes pads it was with a rupes 15 DA.

Hope that helps.

would highly recommend a paint depth gauge if you're doing a heavy cut on any paint  :happy2:

What paint depth gauge do you recommend?

ChrisGT:
I bought this one a year or so ago and it's been great. Just check the calibration every now and then and it's usually fine or only a couple of microns out. It's also on sale right now! Not cheap but the way I looked at it is that it's cheaper than having a panel re-sprayed because you've burned through the paint  :happy2:

I use Megs Mirco fibre for cutting and 3M or Menzerna foam pads for refining/finishing/sealant. depends on what products your using as well .

I have the same PDG as the link above, no complaints with it. 

I wouldn't worry to much about burning threw with a DA, its been shown many times on YouTube users with a DA and cutting pad being held in the same spot for over a minute with hardly any issues, Rotary is a different story..... that sh*t is like a chainsaw through butter :happy2: (slightly exaggerated)
