Meguiar's DA Microfiber Cutting Disc Buffing Pad Reviews
Professional Detailer Reviews
Overall, I'd say this system has exceeded my expectations. It's also very apparent to me that Meguiar's spent a lot of time developing the products. While I expected the polishes and pads to work well, as it's what I've come to expect from Meguiars, it was actually the little things about this system that showed how much thought went into developing these products.
This new microfiber system will definitely find its way into most or all detailing shops, and, more importantly, into the hands of DIY enthusiasts' with no rotary experience. It definitely helps to bridge the gap even more between DA polishing and the more aggressive, potentially dangerous, rotary polishing process. I believe the ease of use is what will set it apart from any other competition and make it a favorite to many that have been waiting for some time now.
Meguiar's has developed game-changing technology here; particularly on the compounding side of the equation. Heavy defect removal, ease of use, and with the relative safety of using a dual action polisher is a winner in my book!

Purchased these pads for restoring headlights. Use them with Meguiar's compounds and they do an amazing job.

I have used these pads since I started doing paint correction and so far they have worked great. They are durable and easy to use. Definitely my number one go to cutting pad
Definitely recommend purchasing if you're trying to get deep imperfections out of paint. This pad is my go to for abused paint. Cuts amazingly but with that being said, you should follow up with a polish as it will leave hazing in the paint. It's not meant for a one step, keep that in mind. This was made for brute cutting ability and it does that flawlessly. I pair these pads with megs 105 and achieve amazing results then follow up with 205 with a polishing pad.
10/10 for cutting step for a 2 step job! I always stock up on this for all my customers.
Appreciate the cutting action these pads offer. They do a nice job when combined with the right compound to remove deeper scratches in clear coats. Follow up with a polish and polishing pad and you'll live the results.
This pad is like God in a pad! I used with 3D ONE and do a VERY NICE job!
I love these pads. You do need to make sure you keep it clean otherwise you will push down the fibers and the compounds can harden it. I use it with Meguiars Microfiber compound and you can get a great correction with minimal dusting.
Did what I didn't think could be done with a DA. This lad cut through and evened out a clear coat patch job I did that went horribly wrong. This essentially cut through and also got rid of lot of overspray I had. I'm a newbie to all this and after failed attempts with sponge pads this did the job awesome and finished up awesome too.
Works as advertised.
Such a great pad! My new go to pad. Works great with polishes and compounds.
Excellent pads, my go for my polishing...just perfect for any clear coat and excellent results...I would buy anytime.
Best cutting pads on the market. I am thrilled that Meguiar's brought these back to the market. These pads will last a long time if properly maintained during and after a detail. In my opinion, one can never have enough of these on hand. These 3" pads paired with the Mini Rupes Big Foot are a killer combination!
Should be everyone's go-to microfiber pad! Never had issues! If you haven't tried it then maybe now is the time!
These are my go-to correction pads. I begin most correction jobs with a test spot using one of these paired with M205, you can remove a surprising amount of defects and still end up with an LSP-ready finish. If you need to step it up to using a compound, they are just as great.
Best cutting pads I have used.
I buy them all the time. I love them! I just do not like how the backing always delaminates after a few cleanings.
These pads are awesome. I like them better than the foam pads for cutting and polishing.
Worked really well with M400 on my black mustang. Much better than other combos such as Megs 105 and hard foam pads. Clean up easily with some compressed air between section passes, and a little APC and warm water in the sink.
These microfiber pads are on point, once you learn to use them the right way. Use with your favorite compound/polish. Highly recommend!
Was not a fan at first. But prefer these over foam hands down now. Once you learn how to use them they are great! Just wish they made smaller pads for the Bigfoot mini & iBrid.
very good. Faster than foam.
Paired with Menzerna FG400 they have allowed me to remove all kinds of defects from all 3 of my BLACK cars. I have also used on painted plastic trim and interior pieces to remove large scratches. Follow up with a white foam pad and finishing polish for a deep gloss with no haze. I have used these for the last 3 years and will continue to do so.
Nice is all I have to say... This pad paired with rupes mark 2 and sonax cut max is a no brainer... loved the results. It does the work so fast that I had to keep looking in different lighting to see if I was seeing things right.
If your using a 3 inch plate on a porter cable style polisher, this will transform your effectiveness and amp up your cutting ability, I am not a fan of cutting with foam on a 3 or 4 inch on a Porter cable it can take forever, I use these with my rupes mini and they are a defect killing team. A must have.
Good cutting ability but they clog quickly with spent product. Needed 2 pads to complete small vehicle.
I used this with D300 compound on my neighbors somewhat faded black Jeep Wrangler, let me say this worked effortlessly with Meguirars G110 DA . Restored the paint finish so nicely neighbors thought it was painted!! If you never used microfiber pad try it and it will be part of your detail Arsenal !!!
Good pad if cleaned regularly and not over-loaded with product.
Great cutting pad! These are better then the Optimum ones. Use it with some fg400 and you are set . I haven't had any problems at all with the wear or cutting ability.
Didn't get the results I was looking for, although I didn't use the Meguiar's cutting Compound. I just purchased the compound and I will try again.
These are now my go to pads. Used then on a Black Ram 1500 with PF2500 the results where great. My only problem is when I'm done I use compress air, but it still feel like the pads are dirty. Other then that these pads are phenomenal
Used this pad on Harley Davidson detail. I used a FLEX PE 8 Kompakt Rotary Polisher with this pads, low rpm and slow hand movement. Great Cutting power!
They give excellent results.
They give excellent results.
Used it with Meguiar's 105 and did it's job well. Great cutting power. I find that it needs a bit more frequent cleaning compared to foam pads.
Awesome product. these pads will take detailers to the next level. Being a mobile paint tech these pads make the lot units i rub out glow. All you car buffs out there get a random orbital polisher and you can make your vehicle look like new with these pads and the Meguir"s system. The results will amaze you.
What's not to like about these? They cut well and don't absorb compound/polish like a foam pad does. Highly recommend.
Used these with Menzerna FG400 on my PC and saw HUGE difference in regards to correction! It also finished down nicely that the one panel on my car I didnt follow with finishing polish hasnt hazed or shown swirl marks. I havent had issue yet with separation of backing, but I soak my pads for an hour in 2 gallons of water with 2 ounces of degreaser then power spray rinse the pads before pressing water out and drying on a clean towel overnight

The most aggressive cutting MF disc on the market, at first hated them because they kept delaminating after washing them or removing it off my polisher. Since they make them in the US now, quality has gone up significantly on these and is now my go to MF discs.
These work very well for correcting defects and finish down quite nicely for the level of cut that they can achieve. I do find that I always need to follow up with a finishing polish (when used on dark paint) as this leaves micro marring on the surface. This is to be expected from a cutting pad when used with a cutting compound, so no complaints. I have also expereinced the issue with the pads separating, luckily the awesome customer support at DI has taken care of the issue right away! Thanks!
Backing continues to come off during normal washing of pads in the washing machine. DI has been great about sending replacements, but Meguiars needs to get their stuff together, literally. Anybody else with these problems?
Will take your correction ability to another level. Cuts very well, and finishes down like a dream. Paired with some Meguiars compounds you have one system.
I have a variety of these Microfiber pads in my inventory now. Best time saver there is when doing that "light buff" for medium to softer paints.

Wow, these are truly a game changer. I've never seen a DA bring such pure clarity to a surface so quickly. Almost as quick as a rotary, but it finishes down so much better so that additional steps are no longer required. Not sure when or if I will ever need to use the rotary again!
This product is a must-have when using the DA Microfiber Correction Compound. It cuts through the most menacing of clear coats with little effort and does it safely. When combined with Meguiar's backing plate, it makes paint correction fast and easy. Proper technique as well as following Meguiar's recommendations on usage are very important to achieve maximum results. The only issue I've seen is that they tend to fall apart if exposed to constant heat from using the DA to long. They need to be cleaned often throughout the correction process to keep them cool and cleaned. This product is great for the detail enthusiast that is doubtful about their Rotary skills and feels much more confident using the DA.
