Does 3M make pads that could possibly fit a PC?
I need to purchase new pads but i want to try other than the meguiars.
I think i remember someone talking about using waffle pads with their PC

The purpose of waffle pads is to keep the heat down. On a rotary I wouldn`t recommend them, too much money, too large and there is no benefit from them unless you use a rotary.
This is what I use, they are great pads, I am recommending them to everyone asking for a good pad for the Porter Cable:

The yellow pad will work really well. :up

i guess there is nothing else for a PC I want to avoid ordering from the states.
Coversion is the first issue.
Plus i`d rather pick one up locally.
3m doesn`t do anything other than waffle?

There is a 3M waffle DA glazing pad. 6.75in. diameter. This is really good for finishing. It`s waffle fingers are longer, much softer and has almost no cut. So far, this is the only 3M pad ideal for use on a DA/RO machine like the PC.
I`ve tried the 8in waffle on my RO (Bosch) which has a 6in backing pad. It works ok, but it`s not as efficient as the Meguiars pad.

Thanks for the reply.
Does anyone else know how long it would take to receive an order from CMA to Canada?
What kind of shipping fees/brokerage would I be looking at?
