This instructional video by Todd Cooperider of Esoteric Auto Detail shows how you can achieve a high level of paint correction with a fine finish when using the Porter Cable 7424XP buffer, Surbuf pads, and Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut Compound. The test panel used is off of a Ferrari F355 that has been completely sanded down using Trizact 1500 and 3000 grit sandpaper.
Word of advice, on some paints (like black g35's) using that amount of pressure with the surbuf pad will cause pig tails.

Ok back here to report for those that are considering buying surbufs for your DA polisher. DO IT. I am simply stunned at the level of correction that these offer - my car finally looks similar to the rotary detailed ones on meguiars forums. I didn't have a chance at cutting so deep with just foam + DA (I dont own a rotary).

im absolutely HYPED up about this combo, just ordered surbuf pads, i have 105 already but with a PC+ Meg's yellow pad and it just isnt enough. i tried the maroon cutting pads same result.

@Constantine1717 yes absolutely, there is no sanding needed. he just sanded the panel to show how severe of swirls the surbuf + m105 combo can take care of

Can surbuf pads be used without sanding?
