New pad standard?

[AleroGuy]

Ok, I bought a PC and CMA pads in 2004. I only detail the cars about 2-3 times a year. My old 6 inch, white CMA pad is dying (white velcro backing peeling off) and I went to buy a new one from autopia and find that they are no longer sold here. I went to properautocare.com and find that they now sell 6.5 inch pads.



What is the `new` pad standard for using Klasse AIO with my PC?



Thanks in advance for the help.

This blue Sonus DAS pad (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-daspad-bl.html) says it`s good for AIO. Might also try the SFX-3: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-sfx-3fp.html . I`m not sure if you are saying that you want a 6" pad rather than a 7" (DAS) or 6.5" (SFX).

Yes, I want to stick with 6 inch pads.

properautocare.com suggests buying the Green lake country pad. They said it is their best pad for one-step products, including AIO. However, I think its 7.5"....

6" and 6.5" are pretty much all the same. The 7.5" is contoured so you have different angles to polish at. White < Green < Orange if you go by the LC pads as far as aggressiveness. I`ve used all three and if your paint isn`t in bad shape then the white will do the job with less cutting power = safer for your paint. Honestly though all three pads used on a DA won`t do any type of damage unless your just plain careless. But as a rule of thumb, always go less aggressive and if your not getting the shine/reflection you want step up to the more aggressive pad.
