What`s better DA pad size for light swirl removing (i.e. LC white), 5.5 or 6.5?

normally with a DA the smaller the pad the more aggressive the cutting action.

Yeah, smaller is better. I myself wouldn`t do *any* correction via RO/DA except with 3.5-4" pads.

I used the 5.5 orange with megs 83 and it took the swirls out but i`m gonna get some 4" pads for the deeper scratches.

The smaller the better. I`ve done entire cars with a 4" pad and it`s really not more time-consuming than a 6". A- cuts faster and better so you save time there. B- It gets all the tight areas so you don`t have to "come back later" and finish!

i usually 4" pads with the pc but now i have a flex, also have the edge flex conversion so i can still use my 4" pads. still prefer the 4". use the 6" when i`m applying something like DWG or AIO.
