For the PC..go with the Danase 5" pads....I have had nothing but good luck with them....I have some 6.5 inch
CCS pads and i would rather use the 5 inch ones....seems they work and cut faster...no extreme downward pressure to make them work...I just use the machines weight and a little pressure tops and they work...I even use the 5" on the rotary...
If you go 6.5 get the AG ones..the CMA have had a problem with the glue on the backing....
I do not soak my pads..I just spray them with dawn Power Dissolver and let sit for 10 minutes and rinse them off and let air dry....and good the go after....
I hope Danase keeps these pads going..they have worked the best so far on both machines....
I have the yellow, orange ,green ,white, blue, and black...
The yellow is pretty agressive....the orange cuts nice but does leave some haze..the green is my favorite pad..it cuts and gives a nice finish..LSP ready...the white I use for lite swirls and works great..my second best pad....
the blue I use for PO85RD...the black I use for the Menz glaze if I use it....
best pads i have used....my Edge sit now..
