I have a terry cloth one and a simulated wool one. Plus my wif is making me a MF one out of a Megs MF towel!!

Ordered #80 so which bonnet do I use with # 83 then # 80??
Plan on using NXT paste by hand.

Thanks in advance!!!

I doubt that I would use the wool pad at all......for any purpose as far as that goes.

The terry bonnet would be better suited for #80, but they do make the pull over foam type that would work better than the terry kind. Meguiars sells them, or you can find them at Auto Zone, Advance, etc.

You might be hard pressed to break down the diminishing abrasives in #83 with an orbital. But if you do try it, then you will need to give the machine some extra buffing time.

Sorry if my post sounds discouraging, but the 80's series of products work better with a G-100.

I used to use an orbital myself, so you never know what will happen until you try though. Be sure to post back with your results.

Hey Kelly,

Yes the G100 will work better, but if the orbital is what you have at the moment, let's make the best of it! Meguiar's now offers the Gold Class Microfiber Bonnets for 9-10" orbitals and the 11" orbital.

the 9-10" part number X4009
the 11" X-4011

Meg's also offers a Gold Class Foam Finishing Bonnet designed for applying polishes and waxes with a orbital buffer.

X-4008 Foam Finishing Bonnet for 9-10" orbitals!

The above should help until you are able to buy a G100!

Thanks guys!! The orb I have is a 7-inch Craftsman. The specs say 3800 random orbs per min. Will look for foam bonnets.
Saving $ for G-100!! But gas is getting up there.

Tim, BTW I think Ford ought to drop that V-10 in a Mustang.
