Just wondering what size backing plates you use with what pads, and what brand of pads you use?



I use the 6.5 pads from CMA with a 5" packing plate. I am thinking of maybe finding a 7.5" pad to use with the 6" backing plate.



Thanks!

~One man’s opinion~



Durofoam Pads From Classic Motoring Accessories (These pads require a six-inch, Velcro Backing Plate

VP-6) 7.5" Pad size, 6" backing pad + 1/4" all round clearance. The oversized foam pad isolates the backing plate from contact with the car`s surface, so you can work without fear of damaging the finish with an exposed baking plate.

CMA sells those pads a little cheaper than LCM sells them. Just a heads up.



Thanks!

Actually www.topoftheline.com is where I get mine and their prices are cheaper than CMA (aka www.properautocare.com) on the same pads and backing plates.
