What size PC pad do you use?

I use a 6.5" but am thinking of moving to a 7.5"

I use both but majority of a job is done with LC 7.5.

LC Lake Country 7.5 www.topoftheline.com http://www.topoftheline.com/porcaborpol.html

GREAT vendor in terms of customer service and especially turn-around time.

Meguiar's 6.5 inch pads.

Well, I just ordered the larger ones last night so we shall see come Monday how I like them.

~One man’s opinion~

7.5" Pad size, 6" backing pad + 1/4" all round clearance. The oversized foam pad isolates the backing plate from contact with the car's surface, so you can work without fear of damaging the finish with an exposed baking plate (as you can tell from my signature I need all the help I can get)

Most of mine are the 6" CMA LC ones on a 6" home-made velcro backing plate!

Yes, I'm very careful when operating it...

I like that cushion too! I use a 5: plate with 6" pads now. The 6" plate sits way too close to the edge for me on a 6" pad.

Well, I did two cars using my new 7.5" pads and I love them. I can not see me goign back to the 6" ones any time soon.
