Regarding OTC PC pads... Do any decent ones exist? If so, which ones and how can I get them?

:confused:

:woot:

Yeah, the Meguiars ones, they`re alright. You can find them in a good paint and body supply store. I think some of the smaller chains, NAPA and Carquest, may be able to order them too but :nixweiss



If you are looking for small size (4") pads as well, they`re only online to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks Bill. I was just wondering in case I ever found myself needing them in a pinch.

Just find a local Auto Paint, Body shop supply store. You will be like a kid in a candy store. :)

Hmmm..I`d be very surprised if there aren`t in the Cincinnati area. Even Automotive International is located there.



Check in the yellow pages under automobile paint and body supplies. For example,one of larger names is Finishmaster.

Hmm. I will. I have looked in the past and every I have called says they only manufacture products... Maybe i haven`t looked in the right places..

I get my Meguiars pads from Savages Refinishing in Hamilton Ohio. They carry a large stock.

They usually have both Meguiars and 3M pads in stock but usually only the 8" ones. Call ahead first and ask if they also carry the 6.5" pads.
