You can use them however we don't recommend applying products with the W-7006 cutting pad, only our W-8006 Polishing Pad and our W-9006 Finishing Pad.

The cutting pad is too aggressive when used with the dual action polisher and tends to mar the finish. We do recommend them for use with one of our microfiber bonnets to remove wax as the stiffer foam formula works well for the.

thanks for the quick reply, im gonna be purchasing the pc7424 in the near future. If I want to remove scratches from lets say 1200-2000grit sand paper, would the PC be better or a rotory?
thanks again.

also, one more quick question. I am going to order the pc 7424 from autogeek.net, now this does not come with a 6.5 backing plate, but comes with a 6" pad, am i gonna have to buy a 6.5i" baking plate if i am going to be using the megs 6.5" pads?(8006)

thanks again

Rotary. I wouldn't tackle anything coarser than 3K (or *maybe* 2.5K) scratches with the PC.

By the look of that link, yeah, you'll need to get a backing plate. Or two

When you get your backing plates, you might also get a small one and some 4" pads. Makes the PC *much* more effective for correction. With the 6-6.5" pads it's pretty mild and you'll end up still using the rotary for a lot of the "hard work". Not that there's anything wrong with using both the rotary and the PC

Well my apologies for trying to help someone out and I already informed them that they won't get the lifetime warranty that the G100 offers, Second, It's not like its an affiliate code or I am getting paid to promote them.
