I believe it's similair to Color X. M66 I think is a bit more aggressive.

W8006 polishing pad is definitely a best pad to use.

W9006 is good if the paint is really soft or you dont want any correction.

I've actually used the W7006 with excellent results on light coloured cars and hard paints. It really removes the swirls in one step. You'll get a bit of marring if the paint is soft which is why its not reccomended by meguiars.

I've used it with Edge yellow foam pads which is inbetween the meguiars cutting and polishing pads. Again excellent results with no marring.

Also lake country low profile 5.5inch orange pads works great. Probably has the most correction out of all the pads and again its marr free on everything except the softest of paints.

The next bad car i get im going to try the solo wool light cutting pad but this time with a rotary! I wanna see how much cut i can get without inducing holograms or marring.

Correct. We don't recommend our cutting pad for use with DA Polishers.

In some cases the pad works great, but in most cases the foam is too aggressive and will haze or micro-mar the clear coat.


This is pretty easy to see and demonstrate on clear coated black paints but can be hard to see on lighter colors. It's important to understand that if it's happening to clear coated black and dark colors that it's also happening to lighter colors it's just that our eyes can't see this hazing as easily on lighter colors.


The hazing can be polished out, but this starts to make things complicated as far as teaching people that the cutting pad will remove the defects but also haze the paint, so now they need to remove the haze.


It requires more pads, more steps and more products. If we recommend using our W-7006 Foam Cutting Pad with our DA Polisher, in a way it means that we're teaching people to haze their paint which just doesn't feel comfortable because we teach people how to create show car finishes, not haze their paint.


In most situations, the W-8006 can remove most defects if the polisher is used correctly, anything it cannot remove in a few applications, means either the defect is too deep or the paint is not very polishable and at this point we recommend people,

• Switch to a rotary buffer
• Learn to live with the deeper defects
• Hire a professional detailer that is proficient with the rotary buffer to remove the defects.

So for these reasons, Meguiar's continues to not recommend using our foam cutting pad on the D/A Polisher and we will also not allow our members to recommend it.


Thank you.
