I just picked up a Rotary Polisher and was checking to see which backing plate would work better. I am using Lake Country CCS 6.5" pads and am looking at either the LC 43-125WH or LC 43-150. Which would work best on these pads?

My personal preference would be for the Meguiar`s W-66 So1o backing plate (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/meguiars-solo-easy-buff-w66-rotary-backing-plate-6-inch.html), unless you are planning on doing extremely heavy cutting/leveling.

If you want to stick with Lake Country, than the LC 43-150 is a great choice.

Thanks guys, just wasn`t sure about the size. I searched Google and some say the 6 and some say the 4.75. Got confused and thought I`d ask.

It will mostly be used on my Cadillac with the Ceramic Clear Coat.........

P.S. Meguiar`s all the way for me, I use M105, M205, M7, and M21 on her. I am trying to get us to carry the D15501 also. We are also a distributor.....

One more question, should I follow the M21 with M26 or is that redundant?

Got a pic of that STS-V? What year is it? Interested in seeing it.

Here you go. She is an 06. This shot is before the Lowering Springs were put on.

Here is a quick video of the Air Intake I worked with Spectre Performance to develop. It made 44RWHP on the dyno over stock. I am currently working on a modular pulley system.
