Re: 4 inch pads
4 inch pads on a PC are really effective at removing defects. Worth the extra money? In my opinion, yes.Quadruple Honda Owner

Re: 4 inch pads
I thought the pictures in post #125 in the thread below made it pretty clear there were going to be some 4" pads introduced.

Re: 4 inch pads
A quick question, when you use 4" pads to you have to change the counterweight as well? Are 4" pads good at getting right under the door handles?Comment

Re: 4 inch pads
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your threat. Don't worry about coming off as a jerk, I don't take anything over a computer screen too seriously. I just decided to post here instead of starting a new thread because my question can be answered in one simple response. Also, I thought since it was on the topic of 4" pads it might be beneficial to you as well. Perhaps I was wrong, lesson learned.Originally posted by RZ Autodetailing View PostComment

Re: 4 inch pads
I thought all of the questions relating to 4" pads were on topic.
I have Sonus and Propel 4" pads. Both are very good pads. They are more aggressive than 6" pads but not nearly as aggressive as 6" pads with a rotary. I mainly use them to work small areas or fit tight body contours.
I think they are worth the money. But that's me, I never mind spending the extra for good tools.
The counterweights may be important when sanding but I don't worry about them for buffing.
4" pads will not fit in door handle pockets, at least the pockets I've seen. Nor will 3" pads. (I've been threatening to make my own 1" rotary pads.)
It probably doesn't make any difference but I noticed that small pads tend to have square edges rather than rounded. Maybe I'm just paranoid but they look like they would tend to swirl on inside corners. I use a Lake Country spur, which has a "cheese grater" foam contouring feature, to round off the edge before using them.
