Microfiber are great, Adam's foam aren't.

To be a little more elaborate though, Adam's specifically are too big for a DA machine, IMO. Especially the PC. Foam pads shouldn't exceed 5.5'' on a DA.

In terms of foam vs. microfiber:

Microfiber cuts faster and more than foam on a DA
Microfiber is easier to keep clean during polishing
Microfiber is machine washable as opposed to spending hours with a brush and APC on a foam pad
Foam arguably can finish finer, but an excellent finish can still be achieved with MF

You still will want foam pads for applying your sealants or glazes, but that's about it. I'm a huge believer in MF polishing systems.

That was my problem, so now I tend to use 2 per car which to me is the sweet spot.

I use two as well. Regardless of how many you use, cleaning the pad after each section is a must.
