"Do regular unused pads (SELL) for a decent price on Ebay"

 

I don't know about ebay, but if you post them for sale on Autopia you should be able to recover a good portion of your money.

From now on though remember to ask us what to order before you do anything.

 

Nothing wrong with those pads either

 

I wouldn't disagree with you on that.

Both will get the job done. The difference in performance is minimal in that they'll both polish the car. However, one is certainly much easier and more pleasurable to use.

Also, in my experience one of these companies stands behinds their products 110% and the other says F-U when you have a problem.

 

One of these days when my pads need replacing i'll give the Edge pads a shot at the title.

 

I used these pads again over the weekend, and I must say they are great! I used the blue one for a coat of P21S paintwork cleanser and then flipped it over and used the other side for a coat of Klasse High Gloss SG. After that I switched to the white pad and put on a coat of P21S carnauba. I won't be going back to hand waxing after using these.

I wish I was as enthusiastic about the DF concours microfiber cotton towels. I haven't found them very good for drying so I used them to buff. They worked ok, but I'm finding that I mostly use the cheap Walmart microfiber towels. Maybe the DF towels will get better with even more washing.

 

"but I'm finding that I mostly use the cheap Walmart microfiber towels"

I was using these too. Then I tried the CD test, where you rub the towel against the CD to see if it scratches. The towel did not scratch but the seems on the edges where like razor blades.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try the CD test on my various towels. If the cheap ones scratch a CD then I'll just cut the seams off ......

 

As someone already mentioned when it comes to towels you get what you pay for. I have plenty of the cheap ones, but I use them in the door jambs, in the engine bay, the interior, and basically any surface that's either excessively dirty or where scratching would not be a concern.

I think I did mention in my review of DF Towels that they are not good for drying. They're also not good for QD'ing BTW. They're just not very absorbent. Also, it was later determined that I based my review on an old version of the towel. I also have the newer version and there was a noticeable difference in feel but not really performance. The DF towel seems to work well with polishes/waxes/sealants that dry up. It does not work well with polishes/waxes/sealants that remain very oily or wet likely because of it's lack of absorbency.

 

Are you guys still using these pads?

I'm just about ready to buy a pc and wasn't sure what pads to get.

Also, I have light swirl marks and scuffing from going crazy with the clay in a couple of spots. What would you recommend? I use Klasse and P21s.
