Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

[Michael Stoops]

As Davey points out, the whole DA Microfiber System was really developed as just that - a system. But that doesn't mean you can never experiment and try to mix and match liquids and pads to your heart's content! M105 tends to work extremely well on the microfiber cutting disc, but it will create dust where D300 won't. Maybe that's a concern to you, maybe not. But we've seen all kinds of mixing and matching going on - as paint varies so does the exact mix that yields the best results. There is certainly no harm in trying the microfiber disc with M105 and you can always pick up some D300 later on if you so desire. On the flip side, we've also seen D300 work great on a foam pad in cases where the microfiber was too aggressive on more delicate paint.

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?

Jarred, the microfiber discs generally have a very long lifespan but we have had some instances of premature failure. By all means, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Center at 800.347.5700 for a warranty replacement of a failed or defective item. We'll take care of you.

It's also a good idea to use at least a bit of caution when removing the microfiber discs from the backing plate. Rather than pulling up just on the microfiber portion of the disc, grab the entire thickness so that you're directly pulling on the foam to pull it off the hook and loop attachment system.

DON'T do this:


DO this.

Thanks Mike, those pictures have been etched in my mind since first seeing them on here before ever using the DAMF system, so I am very careful with removal of the pads. Like I mentioned, other MF pads have held up well for me, so these two may have been somehow defective or something like you mentioned. I'll give customer service a call on Monday and see what they have to say, and get it all figured out. Thanks again for the help.

Is there anyway to differentiate the rolling change of the current DA Microfiber Pads to older ones?
