I love the cut and finish of this pad. It's biggest flaw for me is it's susceptible to heat on cycling certain compounds down. The foam breaks down and comes apart prematurely.

This pad combined with DA Course on a 21mm polisher will remove most defects we encounter. It is rare for me to grab the rotary now. In cases where this combo doesn't cut, I usually end up doing a quick bit of spot wet sanding then hitting the area with this combo.

For ease of training, we have switched over exclusively to the Rupes Bigfoot system. Great results and a sort of "polish by numbers" system that is easy for newer detailers to grasp.

Yes. We have used these in our shop for years with great success.
