I also use 4" they give a bit more cut when required, ther're also good for cutting in bumpers etc.

I seem to remember that we had a discussion about 4" and the pressure was being applied to Megs to come up with them

So where are they Megs?

I cant even vote, i use 4", 5.25", 5.5" and 6" pads only on the PC.
I find anything bigger than 6" are less affective.

The larger the pad, the harder it will be to use, the more likely it can cause damage because the edge is moving at a faster speed.

Wouldn't the smaller pad edge will move faster then the large pad at the same speed? I do agree with the small pad will get the better angle and edges.

Re: Which size pads do you use?

I can't vote either. I use 5.5" pads for my polishing steps and I have some nice big 7" Propel Blue Pads for applying glazes/waxes/sealants.

Re: Which size pads do you use?

I use 6.5" pads, I may purchase a backing plate for my rotary for 8" pads to use with my 6.5" pads as I saw Kevin Brown do that to keep the pad flat on bigger panels which is what the '66 Dodge D-100 is, a box on wheels with nice big flat panels.

I had 8" pads but cut them down to 6.5 + - a few MM's

Do any of you use the 8" backing plate w/ the 6.5" pad combination?

Re: Which size pads do you use?

I have 8" pads right now. I am wanting to buy the Soft Buff 2.0 7" pads to try.

Re: Which size pads do you use?

unfortunately, I'm only using 8" pads. It's good for large area but the 6" is extremely helpful in tight areas. I just wonder if it's possible to cut those 8" into 6"?? have anyone did this before ??!!
