Spot pad kits now available! - Carn - 17-09-2010 07:13 PM
For those looking to take their machine correction to new heights, I have put together the following 2 spot pad kits for either DA or rotary polishers...
Both kits include 3 of Meguiars new 4" Soft Buff spot pads and either the 75mm Flexipads DA backing plate, or M14 threaded rotary version.
The 3 included Meguiars pads are:
1 x W7204 Cutting Pad (Maroon)
Ideal for use with polishes or compounds on either DA or rotary polishers. The pad’s aggressive cutting action is perfect for removing moderate to deep surface imperfections.
1 x W8204 Polishing Pad (Yellow)
Suitable for use with polishes, paint cleaners and glazes on either DA or rotary polishers. This pad's moderate cutting action is ideal for medium defect removal, but soft enough to finish down perfectly on almost all surfaces.
1 x W9205 Finishing Pad (Black)
The perfect pad for final polishing and glazing or waxing. The super soft foam is ideal for jeweling your paint to a brilliant high gloss, or finish down on softer paints and gloss plastics.

Pricing is R330 for the DA kit and R360 for the rotary version. Stock on these kits are limited so you snooze, you loose

In which situations, and with what product do you use the W7 Pads ?
A lot of people warning not to use the W7 pads, or am I wrong ?

You use spot pads for b pillars and small bumper inserts and those little nooks where you normal pads wont fit

Not sure I have seen any warnings against the W7 pads. My brief experience with them thus far has been overwhelmingly good!

You may be referring to the fact that Meguiars does not recommend the use of the W7006 (6.5") and W7207 (7") with a DA. Due to the stiffness of the foam and the dual action movement of the DA, the W7 pads build up a lot of heat very quickly, which means the pads deteriorates quite quickly.
The effect on the 4" pads is negligible due to the smaller "throw" in the pad motion.

Sean does this still apply to the newer W7 foam pads?
Reason I ask is as I mentioned to you previously. These newer pads seem alot softer than the previous generation I used

Yes it does. Although the newer W7207 cutting pads are softer than the original W7000 and W7006 pads, they are still quite a bit stiffer than the polishing and finishing pads. The recommendation from Meguiars therefore still stands.
Please note that this is a recommendation. It is still possible to use the cutting pad with the DA, as long as you are aware of the potential risks and modify your technique accordingly.

I found them softer than other compounding pads, most notably the Menz variety. With me using them on a rotary however it is slightly different (less cut as opposed to more on a DA).
Thanks for the info Sean
