Rotary Pads

What pads does everyone use for their rotary? I have an AG gift card and I want to take advantage of the sale. I used to just use the 7.5in pads when I used my dewalt but now with my new Makita I was thinking of switching it up a bit. Any ideas or suggestions would be great!

Also, does anyone know where I can buy 3m pads besides from 3m directly?

Re: Rotary Pads

Labster, I really like the original yellow Meg's polishing pad. Although, I recently started using the LC CCS 5.5" low profile pad and liked it a lot. I personally don't enjoy using larger pad. Anything over 6.5" is out of the question for me. The 5.5" pads I recently started using are nice because they fit into tighter spots. I also like the LC Purple Foamed Wool.

The LC 5.5" pads are on sale right now as well: CCS foam buffing pads,foam polishing pads,lake country foam pads,foam polisher pads,buffer pads,lake county pads,porter cable pads,pads for air sander
