currently have the 3 basic chemical guys hexlogic pads but i want to try other products.
how would the dodo juice fin fads rate against hexlogic? are they a quicker cut? longevity of the pad, and over all quality ?

thanks
derek

Only other pads I like to use over the Hex pads are 3M.

 

[trd-gt]

seen them too,i can get them local too(UK is still cheaper thought )

what are the 3M pads like for wear?

I use both via DA, I prefer the hex pads, cant say why its just the feel nicer to use to me, the orange fin paddoesnt cut as much as the orange hex, and the fins dont cope with going in the washingachine too well, hope this helps

Dodos fin pads are fantastic,the orange cuts like hell,the black one is a brilliant finishing pad,very easy to control them.
I worked a lot in the past with cg hex pads,i dont like them.
go for the fin pads,theyre really good.

The greens wear quite quickly, but the yellow & blue seem to last forever.

The fins on the dodo pads are to help keep the pad as cool as possible, I was under the impression that the fin pads are for rotary polishing but would work with a da if needed.

You're right, the Dodo Juice FIN pads were designed for use with a Rotary, with the whole 'Deep Grove' idea to keep the pad cooler than say a Waffle Pad and reduce sling.

I've used these a couiple of times and really like them, both with a rotary and DA polisher, personally I would prefer Hex Logic over the FIN pads.

However, I wouldn't be put off using them again :thumb:

I prefer the Hex Logic pads over the Dodo ones on my rotary. I've not really used any other brands.

Hexlogic are good but the yellow pads have deteriorated in durability in time I find, 3m are great, plus the flat dodo juice pads, lake country and scholl pads work very well with their polishes.

Used hex-logic pads before, now use dodo fin and 3M yellow pads mainly on rotary.

Out the mix I have I find reaching for the lake county both da/rotary, mostly used the cg hex this year but finishing has always been lake county.

Which lake country for finishing? Ever tried their Gold Jewelling?

Both constant pressure and hydro tech, the finishing pad's I use are there ultimate last step pads.

Well I was trying to see if you've used their CCS Gold Jeweling pad, it's apparently even softer than their Red pad and good for both Jeweling polish as well as Wax or Sealant. Thanks though.
