Meguiar's Soft Buff DA Foam Discs and Backing Plates

Re: NEW! DA Foam Discs and Backing Plates

Can I use the new 6" foam pads with my W68DA Backing plate? Speaking of backing pates, will the new backing platea fit onto my Porter-Cable 7424XP machine which accepts Spindle 5/16 Thread 24?

Thanks!

Re: NEW! DA Foam Discs and Backing Plates

This looks really exciting (although just purchased the W67DA and S3BP pads not so long ago... )
Anyhow, hate to ask this, but any chance to update the Let's talk about "Total Cut" chart, as now considering both microfiber and these new foam pads (including the cutting pad), and M100, M101, D300, ultimate polish (just to name a few that is not on the chart), there is endless permutations of product/pad combos, which makes the hobbyist head to start spinning?
Ie. is the new cutting foam discs still less aggressive than the microfiber cutting disc? Many thanks!

Then start taking into account all the other companies out there that make very similar products. I do this for a living and can't seem to find the time even try them all before new ones are introduced. You gotta work just to keep up!! But it's better than not having options.

No, the new 6" foam discs are not compatible with the W68DA backing plate. That plate does not have hook material all the way to the outer edge so you would lose engagement with the pad - not a good idea at all. These new plates will, however, work with all popular DA tools on the market - G110v2, PC7424, Griot's Garage, Harbor Freight, etc.

The new foam cutting disc is very close in aggressiveness to the DMC5 microfiber cutting disc, but on haze prone paint the foam will likely leave a nicer finish. In fact, the foam will likely leave a very nice finish, and we've seen it leave a finish that was LSP ready.

Give them a call, Scott, as they should be able to get order them in now....or at least in the next couple of weeks as I'm told these are already shipping.

6 pack, yes - order by the case and that's what you'll get. That or in singles are the only options at the moment.

Re: NEW! DA Foam Discs and Backing Plates

This is outstanding news! Just what myself and others have been asking from Meguiar's for quite a while.

Im sure when coupled to the new MT-300 polisher, 5" pads, and range of Meguiar's professional polishes this is a serious system.

Kudos guys.

Re: NEW! DA Foam Discs and Backing Plates

i bought 3 7" foam pads from meguiars the red one,yellow and black one. On October 27 2014 and the Velcro is very weak when I'm detailing the pads keep coming off my polisher. Very disappointed with this pads I wish you had this ones available at the time of my purchase they seen to be better build. I feel I lost my money on the older model ones. But good job on the new ones I'm sold on meguairs produts, I just order the da micro fiber pads, and compound from auto geek, I hope they are good.

Just the information I was looking for. Thank Mike!

The pads should not be coming off the backing plate under regular use. We have not had issues with the loop material on these pads. What backing plate are you using? If it's not our W68DA plate then that may be the issue.
