Corey,
I think you hit a home run with these pads... I honestly can't believe how good they are! Didn't know what to really expect with the length of the Micro Fiber fibers.
To the point because I don't have time to elaborate as much as I would like (and who would want to hear it anyway, lol!)
Cut is very good... on par with Meg's cutting disk, if anything- a tick less.
Feel- love the way the pads 'feel' on large stroke machines (Used on a Rupes 15 & 21.) I am a BIG 'feel' type of guy... some pads feel 'ok' and some feel 'great.' Best feeling MF pad I have used yet on a d/a and assume it is because of the composition of the foam backing. You know 'where you are/ the pad is' at all times even with the slightly larger overhang of the 5.5" pad with a 5" Rupes BP... (think edge work.)
Heat- for some reason these pads seem to generate less heat than others... although that is not statistically significant because this my 2nd time out with them. However, me like so far.
Pictures attached show solid black, medium- soft, black, aftermarket paint after M205 cutting phase, blow out pad, and then water spritz. Amazed at how it finished down for just a cutting step. (Followed with a foam pad and Reflect...And yes, there is some solvent pop and fish eyes in the paint along with rock chips. Rest assured, the engine jambs got attention too.)
Post billed as a mini review because I haven't tested their longevity.
Great job as usual, Corey!
Best,
-Gabe
