Default Which pads do you prefer?

As the topic says, which pads do you prefer and why?
I use Megs with Megs, Sonus with Menzerna and Scholl with Scholl..

I like the non-ccs lake country pads.

I just got a bunch of 3M pads to try out though.

I also like pads smaller than 6"

Edge doesn't have a velcro backing to delaminate.

Well I've tried a variety of pads but I use pads in this order:
  1. 3M UK pads, just love the way they feel and how they perform.
  2. Sonus pads, I enjoy having the extra cushion/foam and depending on the clear coat they will finish off extremely well.
  3. Menzerna pads, they have a different feel to them but again depending on the clear coat they will perform quite well. Menzerna pads combined with Menzerna polish work magic..but just my opinion.
  4. Meg's pads, these pads have performed extremely well for me, no matter what polish you use they always deliver. Worthy of being the back up pads

Well those are just some of my go to pads.
