Re: ***** Need some help/info Please! *****

bit the bullet, bought the griots with some microfiber towels to get the price to 150 something on autoanything with a 15 percent off coupon and free shipping, came to 134 with shipping! now i need a reccomendation on a backing plate and pads for the m105 and m205!!

Excellent choice!!! The griots should come with the backing plate. As far as pads go, look for 6.5" LC orange and white pads. You can find these at several online detailing stores such as auto geek and proper auto care. I would also recommend getting a 3.5" backing plate and some 4" pads for the smaller areas.

6.5" pads on a 6" backing? i'm sorry i have only used bonnets that you wrap onto the buffer, or tie on.. so just get the lc da orange and white 6.5" pads off of auto geek?

actually did some research and decided to go with the lc 5" backing and a set of 5.5" flat pads, orange white black.

Good job. DAs are helpful in general to have. Some tools you buy, you never use again. DAs come in handy quite often. For stuff like this, wax application, swirl removal, and more...

So even if you do eventually step it up to a rotary, you will always value your DA.

Good decision on the 5.5" pads. On a DA, smaller pads cut faster.

Here's a good read put together by the one and only Mike Phillips.
