Micro Fiber Correction Is Amazing!
Got mine today and jeez! Primed the pad, 2x2 square, 3passes with moderate pressure and 3 light pass, wiped it and water spots came right out. Usually takes about 4 of these cycles with my foam pads with m105 before these types of results come out. AND! zero dust! Come on! Simply amazing and almost effortless. Great job Meguiars!!

Re: Micro Fiber Correction Is Amazing!
Update: alright so after going a bit further in the detail there was a little more dust then I thought but was less than M105. Furthermore, about half way through finishing the car with the compound step, the foam split from the microfiber. Basically in half. Now, I'm not sure if this was maybe the result of repeating the steps without a break to let the pad cool down or if that's just how long the pad actually last. I think I might be too rough on the pad with too much presure. With all that said, I still think the system is awesome. I just gotta learn to apply less presure than what I did will foam pads.Comment

Speed is EXTREMELY important for the longevity of these pads. From what I've seen over the years, anything above 4.5-5 is dangerous territory with these MF pads! The adhesive just can't handle the heat. Also, you will run into the center of the pad "balding" when you run them too fast. Like the microfibers will just get shorter and shorter. If either of these are happening to you, TURN YOUR SPEED DOWN! It took me a long time to get used to "slower is better" with these pads, but it's 100% true! You get better pad life and you get better correction ability.

Speed 4.
Yes I used the correct backing plate.Originally posted by RaskyR1 View Post
Nick is correct, the adheisive got too hot and melted right apart. I learned to be move gental with the pad and it's working out fine.Comment

Kick that G110v2 down to about 3.5 and go to town! You really don't need a lot of pressure to remove defects. But the compensation for less pressure is slower arm speed. I go super slow when using these pads, and keep the speed as low as I possibly can while still maintaining pad rotation. If you run into an area with deeper defects, then kick it back up to 4.0, then back down to 3.0-3.5 once you've passed that area.
Like I said in my original review, the learning curve for me was HUGE! And this is just one of the reasons why.
