Adam's micro fiber pads and polishes?

Anyone try them yet on a black Camaro with the PC?

If so any feedback?

I just used the new 2 step polishes with microfiber pads on black... Wasn't a Camaro, but I was impressed by how well it worked. Almost didn't even need to use the finishing compound as the correcting compound worked so well and buffed up glossy by itself. Easily removed swirls and even a few mild scratches... I was impressed. I was using a Flex polisher btw.

Planning on doing my black camaro with the MF pads on the PC within the next few days. I'll let you know how it goes.

The camaro paint and MF is a mixed bag... love it for correcting, don't always love it for finishing. The black ZL1 we had in the warehouse responded best to being finished with foam, but another black SS that was in recently corrected flawlessly with MF... its one of those you won't know till you try type scenarios.

I just tried the 2 step MF kit this past weekend as was really impressed . Make sure you stop and fluff the pad when matted as was recommended to me . I kept my PC on 4, not sure if I could have gone higher or not but did a really nice job . My black Suburban is next which will be the big test !

As far as I'm aware a lot of our bigger distributors have them. I would definitely call first to double check. If they don't yet they can of course bring it in for you on their next shipment.

I just finished with the MF pads with the PC on my black 2010. The paint correction was outstanding. Much better than last year with the 3 steps (including the green pad). Very happy with it.
