    Re: Pads for PC 7424

    Excuse the bump of an old thread. Very noob questions again. My wonderful wife bought me a PC 7424 XP for an anniversary gift four months ago and I just have not had time to use it. Fast forward to today and she wants to get me the accessories to use the PC. I have NO pads, waxes, bonnets etc.

    1. Arel the recommendations of Bobby G, on 09-03-2011, still applicable for use with a stock 7424 XP?

    2. Do I need different backing plates?

    3. Go with a product like the Dual Action Deluxe CCS Foam Pad Kit or Complete Dual Action Accessory Kit?

    She wants to order the items before Christmas but I have zero knowledge and input on what to tell her to get.

    Go with 5.5" pads on a PC. Autopia has not listed the new Meguiar`s foam pads and I would recommend those. Autogeek has them. Perhaps Vega can pull some strings for you.

    You will need a backing plate. This one is good

    Dual Action Flexible 5 inch Backing Plate

    If you choose to order pads then you can go with either one of these

    Lake Country Hydro-Tech 5.5 x 7/8 Inch Foam Pads 3 Pack - You Pick!

    Are you looking for compounds, polishes? What kind of protection are you looking for a wax or sealant or coating?

    Here`s a link to the pads Guz mentioned Meguiars 5 Inch DA Foam Discs

    These new Megs pads are only 11/16 thick which helps keep them rotating on the PC--reviews have all been excellent.

    Thanks for your reply and recommendations! I`ll suggest she goes with the recommended 5-in backing plate and the Meguiars 5 Inch DA Foam Discs. As for compounds, polishes, a wax or sealant or coatings......I honestly dunno as I am literally starting from go having never used a polisher and faced with the myriad of products on Autotopia.

    I`m nervous as hell as I`ll be attempting to detail my weekend fun car:
