Thanks for your reply..
I don`t know how it is possible to paint correct, polish, do anything to an entire vehicle, with 2 pads..
If you are paint correcting, the pads pick up all the dirt, a little clear coat, etc., from the paint, and even if you wipe them down between passes, eventually, the pad gets too soaked with dirt stuck in the foam pores, and needs to be changed out with a new one.. I use a Rotary and always end up using at least 6 - 5-1/4" pads to paint correct any normal size vehicle..
For any Random Orbital like your Porter Cable, you need
pad rotation to get the best results from whatever pad you use with whatever product..
5-1/4" pads on a 5" backing plate are much more rotation efficient for that machine than 6" products..
Good luck with your project !
