What is the white pad that comes with the PC7424 to be used for. ie. buffing, cutting, polishing?

Its for polishing. You might want to invest in a good velcro backing plate and some quality pads from Lake Country, Meguiars, or Sonus.

Don`t use that thing! That thing is way to hard to do anything with. I would not rec. you use it all. I don`t know it is supposed to be used for! Here are some options you should look into if you are going to do some polishing!! Here are the pads I like the most! And underneath are some links to get them!! You will need the velcro backing plate, the kits I linked for you have backing plates in them !!
Lake Country MFG Yellow 7.5" Cutting Pad
Meguiar`s Yellow 6.5" Polishing Pad
Sonus Gray 6.5" Finishing Pad

Kind of creepy how Pats300zx and I think alike. We picked the same pads in the same order.:bow

keep it and buy a bonnet for it for removal purposes...works great!!! If you are getting rid of it though, I`ll take it.

I haven`t used mine yet, but I plan to use it for polishing metal in the engine bay with Mothers mag/alum polish...particularly my valve cover after I take the plastic off of the top to paint it black in the spring.
BTW, it comes with the PC as a polishing pad.

what do you guys think about the Sonus "white pad" .....
Make a long story short. After washing and ringing the stock white pad out I connected it back to the P/C and did not realize that it was on 6 speed setting, Before i had a chance to lower the speed the pad torn a part.....never did find the other half...

The factory pad fell apart just from being set on speed 6?
