Professional DA Microfiber Finishing Disc 6"

To open this review - I'm a comfortable "DIY" person, but had almost no experience in finishing / buffing cars outside of your usual eblow grease and generic wash/wax products from the autostore. I knew I needed to significantly step up my knowledge and approach to take on a classic car that sat for ~30 years oxidizing, getting sun spotted, and accumulating dirt.After a lot of reading and considering possible solutions... I arrived at the following products:- Porter Cable 7424XP and an Astro 4607 5" PU backing pad- Meguiar’s D300 Correction Compound applied with Meguiar's DMC6 Cutting Disc- Meguiar’s D301 Finishing Wax applied with Meguiar's DMF6 Finishing DiscThese selections were made as something that seemed like it would provide a good result, with limited risk of burning through what paint is there or otherwise "doing more harm than good". I had high hopes but low expectations. The end result has exceeded my hopes. There is an argument that a higher cut product may have been acceptable for the car in question - but I still worried about my capabilities in using it without doing more harm than good.At any rate, the Meguiar's products did an incredible job in removing oxidation, imperfections, and restoring shine. The pictures tell the story - but I also think the pictures fail to capture how dramatic the difference REALLY is in real life.With that said, the car itself was haphazardly repainted ~30 years ago. It has plenty of knicks and dings, some areas that were damaged beyond any product's ability to save, and other assorted imperfections. I never expected a show quality car, but just wanted something that would look "GOOD" driving and having fun for a few years until I'm able to consider a more extensive restoration. With that goal set in mind, I think this was the perfect selection of products.A couple notes on application process I took for this particular project:- 3 applications of D300. The first took up most of the oxidation. All of that grime and garbage made this application kind of "ugly" looking as working. The product did tend to dry on and stay behind with this application without several pauses to clean the pad. Not unexpected given the starting condition of the car. Second application was a much smoother process where you could really start see the finish smoothing out and color coming back. Third application was subtle improvements only - IE - what you want. It almost felt like you weren't doing anything at that point.- Wipe down with a microfiber cloth by hand to get up any extra residue- 1 application of D301, working over and over and over until the wax lines / cloudiness is almost completely gone.- Follow up circular hand polish with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any excess wax and even out the remainder of the application.Per instructions on the bottle - simply clean pads with an air compressor. I blew out both discs after each application while letting them spin on the tool. I'm actually surprised at how well they continue to "clean up" - again and again.Hope this info is useful in guiding someone to taking on a project - and hopefully - being as similarly pleased as I am!

Bought these pads to polish and wax my boat. They did a great job. Very easy to wash and reuse. I was able to use this at low and high speeds without any issues.

I bought for 30 year old cutting board and it fixed it right up and the furniture also looks good . I have walnut furniture and it's nice and shinny now. I am pleased with the results.

McGuire's products seem to give you good value for your money. Been using their products since I was a body and Fender man 45 years. I use these polishing pads for all kinds of compound grits they wear very well!

I was able to complete the refinishing of the hood on my car. To clean the microfiber cutting disc and finishing disc, I followed the instructions and placed them in a washing machine with other dirty microfiber towels. After washing, both the discs and towels did not appear to be completely clean. The soap used may not have been strong enough.

Good value. Converts polisher to hook and loop. Works well

I do really like these Meguiar's DMF6 finishing pads. I'm new to all of this and was really frustrated with the pads after my first use because I couldn't get them clean. I used one to apply Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax with my Black & Decker WP900 Orbital and the second pad to remove it. The first one had quite a bit of wax residue.*I figured out a little trick to get them clean since washing them didn't work the first time. I used the back edge (smooth edge) of a standard kitchen knife and pressed down and moved it across the pad. The wax residue was forced right up and out. I washed them again and they're like new again. Give it a try! I hope this helps!

i use these on my 6" DA at low speed to apply hard wax, they work well for that as well as removing oxide on boats with a little abrasive compound.
