Best place to pick up LC 7.5 inch pads?

[gbackus]

I'm looking to get 1 yellow cutting pad, 2 white polishing pads, 1 black finishing pad, and a backing plate for the rotary and the porter cable. Also need a pad brush. Any suggestions for best price?

Top of the Line has very good prices on LC pads.

www.topoftheline.com

Although I recently had a problem with my 6.5" pads from there and they would not exchange them because I had them for three months, I will still recommend that as their customer service has been top notch.

I second CMA - I tell you that the pads are different. CMA pads are well priced too. Unfortunately my customer service experience with TOP has been terrible.

Give Detailer's Paradise a try at www.detailersparadise.com. Nick offers the pads in cost saving bundles.

Do you have a link to the CMA website?

Great pad prices here, but I don't know anything about those backing plates.

I'm getting disapointed w/ CMA pads, and I thought you were having problems w/ them too.

I don't think AutoGeek sells the LC 7.5" pads.
...or, I should say I can't find them there.

I use the CMA LC Pads. The CMA pads are "Constant Pressure" pads. They have a second layer of blue foam that "...acts as a cushion or shock absorber between the machine, the operator and the surface being worked on. It absorbs off-axis motion while maintaining a constant and uniform pressure on the surface."

Here's a link that explains "Constant Pressure" (towards the bottom):

Here's a link about the 7.5" Constant Pressure pads:

And Here's a link for the 7.5" pad kit with flexible backing plate ("7424-ADV Kit"):
http://www.properautocare.com/ad712inhipad.html

Make sure that you include a "FBP-6DA" for your PC and and a "FBP-6C" for your rotary. You can order one of the kits that includes one of these pads. Here's a link showing the PC backing plates (including the "FBP-6DA"):

And finally, here's a link showing the rotary backing plates (including the "FBP-6C"):

Good luck on your decision.

Dan.

I think your right! My mistake, I didn't read the thread thoroughly
