Rob Tomlin asked me to respond on this one, but I'm no Rotary-Meister by any means.

I prefer 6-6.5" pads for overall correction, but I use 4" pads the most because I'm usually just doing spot-correction on RIDS.

I recently got a bunch of Edge wool pads and some LC purple foamed ones, but I haven't tried any of these out yet.

I've never been able to finish out 100% hologram-free via rotary, but then I've never tried it with any of the new finishing polishes that've recently hit the market. I just do the major correction via rotary and switch to my old fave the Cyclo for the final polishing.

With all the good wool pads out there these days, IMO people oughta consider wool for everything except the final polishing. Runs cooler, thus safer.
