I hope this isnt a dumb question

Is it ok to use Meg's products on a PC with Lake Country pads? Could that and what causes micro marring? Will Meg's pads work on a PC?

Well.. dumb is relative...

Yes Meguiars products will work with Lake County Pads. Yes Meguiars pads will work on a PC. Just check to have the recommended backing plate for whichever pads you go with.

Assuming technique was proper, micro marring would come from too strong of a pad or too strong of a product for a certain situation.

You'll have to try much harder than that to come up with a truly dumb question!!!

To answer your last question first, yes, our pads can be used with a D/A, no problem. Our original design Soft Buff pads can be used with our W67DA backing plate, or any of several others on the market, including the one that probably came with your buffer (Porter Cable, Griot's, etc). Our Soft Buff 2.0 pads really should be coupled with our W68DA backing plate, and that plate will also fit the Porter Cable, Griot's, etc so that's an option too.

As for using our products with Lake Country pads, you bet; plenty of people do it every day and the results are fantastic. The LC line of pads are very popular and with good reason - they're just flat out good pads, simple as that.

This is part of the reason why I am a loyal Meguiar's user. You have a rep from the company posting on a forum, telling you that another company makes good products and you will be well served if you used them. On a lot of other boards, the post would have been deleted if someone mentioned a competitor.

CH and Poki, you took the words right out of my mouth. Mr Stoops i gotta say i'm very impressed with your comment. One of the many reasons i'm 100% Meg's fan. I only went PC and Lake Country because of the backorder of the Megs GV. One more question, my cars are white and silver. Using M07 after swirlx a waste of time because my colors are light? Should i just jump straight to NXT?

Probably wont see much difference with #7, unless it was single stage.

You could always consider Ultimate Polish, that may help some. Would be milder than SwirlX, could try it after, or wait for the next detail, when less defects need removed.

That's a decision only you can make. We always consider the use of a pure polish like M07 to be an optional step - as you know, pure polishes are gloss enhancers, nothing more. Sort of like a beauty lotion for your paint. But on clear coat paint they don't give as dramatic an improvement as they do on single stage, and they don't show off as much on light colors as they do on dark colors. So couple silver with a modern clear coat, and the benefits can be minimal. Now add in the fact that NXT (and Gold Class) are polish/waxes and the potential benefits are even further diminished.

So while M07 or similar may not do a lot for a silver car, a SMAT product like M205 or Ultimate Polish will, especially with regard to improving the overall clarity of the finish.
