Thank you.
Now I can hear the full sentence. Interesting !

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Does anyone have good results with the MF finishing pads and M66, or is M66 better with the foam finishing pads.
I bought a ton of both MF & foam pads, picked up a gallon of M66 real cheap....just want to help out my friends with their cars.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Phil, if you've got a selection of pads, both foam and microfiber, and a gallon of M66 plus a selection of cars to work on, we recommending the following:


Do a test spot on each car.



But you knew that already, didn't you? Sure you did! You just never know how a given car is going to react to any input until you try it. Some paints may respond beautifully to a combo while another hates it, or doesn't respond at all.

We know you've seen this thread (Megs D151 MF or foam pads on OEM paint.) discussion D151/MF pads and the results Shawn T got with that combo. Odds are, in some cases, you can do the same with M66

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

I just ordered a G110v2 that states it includes the W68DA soft buff backing plate as well as the 5-inch MF Correction System "Kit". With all the talk of different pads and backing plates, I'm a little concerned as to whether I have everything I need.

Can anyone chime in as to whether I need anything else to use the Microfiber Correction kit, or does the above have it covered?

Thanks!

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

^^ Depends if the "kit" you're referring to contains a W67DA backing plate. If not, you should get one, since the W68DA is not recommended for the MF Correction System.

That's sort of the question. The DMCKIT5 includes a "Backing plate" but the Meguiar's website doesn't say -what- backing plate. Neither does Amazon. It's a little frustrating that their own polisher includes the "wrong" plate and the kit doesn't say -what- plate it includes.

The 5" Microfiber Correction kit includes the W67DA, which is the correct backing plate for the 5" microfiber discs. The 6" Microfiber Correction kit includes the S6BP, which is the correct backing plate for the 6" microfiber discs.

The backing plate included in the G110v2 is the W68DA, which is the appropriate backing plate for the Softbuff 2.0 foam pads. Majority of the users will be using the foam pad so it's just right they included the W68DA backing plate. In addition, when the G110v2 was released, the MF system wasn't released yet. The MF system just came out recently.

I will be using this of the next few days

Well, logic dictates that the backing plate included with the DMCKIT5 is the correct backing plate for use with the microfiber pads. It would obviously be ridiculous of us to include an incompatible backing plate with the kit. Our G110v2 ships with the W68DA backing plate, which is designed for use with our Soft Buff 2.0 pads, a system that predates the microfiber system by many, many years. Foam pads are still used much more commonly than microfiber pads, so it makes sense that we ship the tool with that backing plate. For the extreme majority of users, it is definitely the "right" plate.

Hey Mike,

Does the Cutting Disc usually finish LSP ready? Should I get just a couple of Finishing Discs and a small bottle of D301 and get a larger bottle of D300 and more Cutting Discs?

It really depends on the paint as this is quite an aggressive system. If you don't need something this aggressive then you're probably better off sticking with UC on a foam pad for correction. A very common method of mixing the DAMF System with foam is to do the heavy correction with D300 on a cutting disc, then moving to M205 on a foam finishing pad before applying a favorite wax or sealant.

But even if you stick within the DAMF System itself you're always going to use more D300 than D301, and you'll go through the cutting discs faster than you will the finishing discs, all because of how much more aggressively you use them.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

I was wondering if the DAMF pads can be used with the 105 and the 205? If so how would they work. I am in the market for new pads, and have plenty of 105 and 205 in stock. So thinking of getting the DAMF backing plate and pads only. As I am on a budget right now. How do you think that would work? In cutting ability, product only. Which cuts more? the 105 or the D300? Thank you.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

^^ The official word from Meguiars would be that the DAMF system was deigned to be used with D300 / D301 and experiment if you wish but at your own risk.

Having said that, I have seen many people on here and another forum use 105 / 205 with the DAMF with great results (more so M105). It just gives 105 / 205 extra cut if/when you need it.

105 has more cut than D300.

[jarred767]

I haven't tried that combo yet, but I have also read that people have gotten really good results with M105 and a cutting disc, and I assume that 205 with the finishing disc would probably work quite well too, just know that you'll obviously have to add a wax so you will be adding a step to process.

On a side note, what kind of life do people get out of the cutting discs? I thought I had read somewhere that they hold up quite well, but I had two that the foam is coming away from the Velcro already and I've only used then each on one full car (well actually two half cars each as I did two cars with them and used each pad for only half the car). I can't believe that this is normal, and I have other ones that have lasted longer. Is there something that I could have done that would have caused this on these two?
