I sue the 4" pad setup with the 3.5 BP, and have had great results. I would like to move up to a 5" pad, 4.5 BP though.

Ooops. Brain fault. I have the 3.5-in BP.

I have the Sonus kit w/ SFX-1 and 4" yellow and bp. Felt soft to me and especially when pressure was applied(I'm new so?). Whats the best cutting setup for the UDM? believe it would be a 4" pad but which one?(thinking about CCS 4" yellow), and what compound?

I am planning on ordering a UDM very soon, but I can't decide just yet if I'm gonna go with the 6.5" pads or the 4" pads. What do you guys recommend, and why?

from what I hear you get some vibration w/ the larger 6.5" pads(thats why theres a new counter weight upgrade coming out). If you have to do correction the 4-5" pads are what you want. I just got a DAS kit and works good for polishing. I think 5" are good because you wont get much correction w/ a DA anyway.

So for a beginner like me it's probably best to start out with a 6.5" pad then. After I've gotten used to that, then I could move down to a 5" pad, and if I'm still not satisfied I could then try the 4".

I had struggled witht he 6.5 LC ccs pads with the udm. Alot of vibration and just seemed akward. I saw i had some a few lc orange 5.5 cutting pads lying around from some of my autogeek orders, Tried one of em, and wow, what a difference, correct faster, no obscene vibrations, and just all around worked better. Needless to say im trying to get rid of my 6.5s

I also would recommend the 5" LC CCS pads for the UDM. I used them with great results a few weeks ago and the results were excellent. Great swirl removing abilities and easy to control. Just be sure not to use too much pressure like I did or the foam is liable to come apart after a few hours of polishing.

I'm ordering my UDM from eShine.ca though, and they don't have the 5 or 5.5" pads, only 4", 6.5 and 7.5. Where are you guys getting 5 or 5.5" pads in Canada? I don't want to order them from the US, the brokerage/customs fees will cost more than the pads do!
