Help me up my compounding arsenal!

Ok so I'm thinking of adding a couple of more levels to my compounding.

Currently my compounding pads are Sonus yellow and Tufbuf wool pad.

What would you guys recommend to kick it up a notch?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Nick

 

uber yellow pads. soft, but a lot of cut.

 

really? From reading i thought yellow just had a bit more cut than orange. when I used them a few times i found that to be close to true. hmmm....

But yellow is a nice pad.

 

well, i think they did well. maybe he should try a different compound as well?

 

Scholl S03+ , never used it but hear it is pretty darn good. haha...

 

For compounding I mainly use M105 and PG.

I'm leaning more towards a wool pad than a foam pad. Any ideas? Any twisted wool recommendations? Or anything in between twisted wool and tufbuf?

THanks for the quick reply gents. Much appreciated :applause2:

 

Nick...I really want to try a tuffbuff pad!! I have an old 2 sided 3M wool and my PFW but want something with a little more kick than the PFW. Does the TB pad kick up a lot of wool dust? To answer your question, I would suggest a few compounds and a few pads that are interchangeable to give you a lot of versatility.
Compounds:
Megs 105
Menz power finish or Megs 205
Menz 85rd or Ultrafina

Pads:
white wool
black tuff buff
orange LCC
white LCC
black LCC

You will accomplish any job with the above tools at your disposal.

 

yellow uber or some kind of wool pad with M105 is a hard to beat combo for compounding.

 

Hey Richy,

You want to try a tufbuf? I have a new one sitting around. I bought like 30 so if you want one just let me know and I'll send it over to you.

In terms of compounds I have all of the ones you listed and a few more.

In terms of pads I just don't have the white wool. Is that from a particular brand?

Thanks again!

Cheers,

I find the 4 ply twisted doubleside wool impt in my arsenal. It is too aggressive for most paint, but when you have a beat up ceramic clear, it can cut way better than LC purple foam wool and leave minimal behind when used with m105. I can't imagine not having that.

 

I can say that the Tuf-Buf's are really nice and finish surprisingly well! However, I destroyed mine when I did a 35' race car trailer. Now I just need to buy more!
