Anyone use Meguiars buffing pads?

Does anyone use or have used meguiar's foam buffing pads for machine polishing, rotary in particular?

Nah. I think the rotary i own is more work than just using my hands to add wax and get it off. Those machines have a way of making swirl marks.

I have tried the rotary pads and personally do not like the style.
I do loke the smaller pads made for the RO machine though.

I would never recommnd a rotary for applying wax.
A rotary is made for "paint correction", not application

I would only use it for polish or compounding, wayne when you say style do you mean a flat pad?

Yes, the buffing pads are the thicker pads and flat.

My personal preference is contoured and 1.25" for a better "feel" for the paint.
Some may prefer the flat, thick pads..., just not for me

If I am not mistaken, they are manufactured for Meguiars by Buff & Shine.

Damn Wayne you always got people asking you interesting questions. Way to go. It reminds me of E46fanatics.

 

[waynestowels]

Ok, now you have me interested, where is E46fanatics?

 

[ref]

I have used the yellow and white pads. they work fine. I put them in the washer and the loop part of the velcro got fuzzy, but I don't think it hurts anything.

You will get better service from them if you wash them by hand, IMO
