7" pads recommendation

Just looking at the prices of Megs pads £13 each for the G220. What others are as good? What are you using?

Are cheap ones any good?  :smiley:

I use 3M pads. Only 3 colours so cant forget what they're used for, and great value. Excellent choice for the new DIY'er like myself.  :cool:

3m pads are great but perform better on a rotory which they are designed for,
Take a look at these which perform well on both

Careful with the 7'' megs pads. They can blow to bits if you run the thing at high speed  :evil:

Personaly i'd get the 4'' megs pads only. Found the 7'' were not that great with a orbital buffer.
