I figured I would ask if anyone has seen or heard of a 3" backing plate and polishing pads (Similar to orange or yellow LC pads), and glaze pads (white LC pads) for the PC 7424? I would like to get this setup for some hard to reach areas that my 6.5" pads can`t really get to that well.



Thanks!

CMA carries 3.5" backing plates along with 4" pads (orange & white).

Those 4" pads via PC are nice for spot jobs, even nicer on a rotary :D

Thanks for the info!



I just ordered some from Top of the Line. I bought the backing plate, 2 green polishing pads and 2 yellow cutting pads. I apply my wax by hand, so I have no need for the finishing ones.



PS: Ranney, I love your white microfiber towels, they are the only ones I will use to remove wax. I first heard about you through a discount you had for BimmerForums.com Members.



Thanks

Those pads are Cyclo pads, let us know what you think of them.



I`m awaiting the Autopia store to carry the 4" LC ones

Not to get too far off topic, but...... while checking the prices at TOL I noticed they carry a Duospur pad cleaning tool.



Has anyone used this and is it any better than using a soft brush?

I`m very intrigued by it, I brought up a thread about it and it seemed no one used it.

Yes I have it, got in with my larger order from LC. Works ok, I don`t like the "cheese grater" part for filing foam pads.

do you soak the pads before using it, or is the tool all you really need to clean the pads

You just spur the pad with it

Do you like it better than just using a soft brush?

No, I don`t find it better, probably more similar than better
