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.
That is a very good point re the 4" pads for spot correction. This would seem to be an argument in favor of the Edge system, as there would be no need to change backing plates for the smaller 4" pad, correct?

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.
Please post your experience once you have tried them!

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.
Hey! Now you are scaring me! Regardless of the pad/polish used, you can't finish completely hologram free?

Quote:
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.
Ah, now I'm back to having to get the purple foamed wool, just when I thought I had decided to go all foam!

Thanks for the post!
