Ok I am dire need of new pads for my PC. I currently have the following polishes, dacp, megs #9, S100 SEC, and Klasse AIO
I have some moderate imperfections/swirls in my pearl white subaru legacy, that I think I caused lol
I was going to go with DACP, followed by #9 than AIO and topped with Klasse SG
So what pads should I purchase and also if anyone has anyone polish recommendations versus what I have I`m open to suggestions
Also if the #9 step is a waste let me know
Thanx

Honestly, I love the LC Flat Pad. I also like the LC CCS pads.
I`ve never used Meguiars polishes, so I can`t comment on those. But those LC pads are top notch.

ok guys need some opinions on these steps/combos
I was going to start with the dacp and an LC 6.5 Yellow Pad, than the #9 with the LC 6.5 Orange Pad and than the AIO with a LC 6.5 white and I might grab a grey pad to apply the SG. Plus I grab another white pad for my s100 SEC.
What do you guys think, I`ll probably order when I wake up in the morning

Personally, I wouldnt put a 6"+ pad on a PC, grab some of the LC CCS Pads from Danase, they are 5", and work great.
Use an Orange or Green with DACP then follow with a white and a finish polish.

well the backing plate that came with my pc is 6".... what is the downfall of the 6"+ pad besides size?

the smaller the pad the more cut
so it will take you longer to remove the defects with the larger pads

I wouldnt say its a downfall, just a personal preference. You have flexible BP right? Not the BP that came in the box?
In my experience the PC bogs and fights too hard to spin larger pads. I`ve only had success with 5" and smaller pads, 4" are the only way I can correct easily with the PC. I have 4", 5", 6", 6.5", 7.5", and 8", and have tried the 6/6.5`s.
Some swear by the 6" .

I dont mean to talk you out of the 6 inch, if you already have a good BP, you might want to stay with it, just IME, it takes a bit longer to work with.
As long as they are LC, all the colors are pretty much the same. I dont know anything about #9, but DACP, Finish Polish, AIO, SG is a good plan.

Uhh, If it looks like what came with my PC 7424, you definitely want a new one. Does it have velcro?
If you go through Danase, there is a Forum Discount.
