Anyone using 6.5" LC pads with their rotary?

My gf just got her first car. I am going to try to get her into detaling. Any tips.

Best is to get Autopia eBook from David W. Bynon. Most of your questions will be solved...

My girlfriend already thinks I like my car more than I like her...

"You spent 8 hours waxing on your car?! Why?!"

"Remember how there were scratches and some haze right here? And the oxidation! Besides, I wasn`t waxing it for 8 hours. I had to use a couple polishes."

"Same thing!"

"No, because... nevermind, it`s useless!!"

...Gotta love her!



As for you, tell her she looks amazing in a nicely detailed car. That works for some things with some women...

...but taking advice from me about women is about as bad as taking advice from me about car detailing

I recommend sex on the hood... No, no, I mean, tell her she has a sexy hood... Ooops, no, that`s not it... tell her that detailing is sexy and it`s something you can do together.... yep, that`s it!

Best of luck! David has some good ideas!

Just make it a bonding thing and she`ll probably like the idea. Tell her something like "I care for you so much that I am more than willing to help you detail your car for hours and hours. Honey, for you, there is nothing that I wouldn`t do." Or at least something like that. And try to say it real seriously as if you really mean it. Hehe! Laters

OK so I just took the step up to a rotary and purchased a makita 9227, now I need some pads and other things to go with it. Ive got a bunch of LC CCS 6.5" pads for my Griot RA. Id like to use these if I can, so that I dont have to buy more pads. I was going to order a 6" LC backing plate, but Im unsure of how well I can center these pads with them not being recessed for the 6" pad. Has anyone had any problems with this before? Also Id like to get a wool pad too, can I use the meguiars solo wool cutting pad with this backing plate or will I need the solo backing plate? I had also considered going with the LC wool pad, can anyone tell me which wool pad you prefer and why? Last question, I have been using 105 and 205, but can anyone recommed something between these two for when I dont need quite as much cutting power. Maybe even something with diminishing abrasives. Thanks in advance!

I`m going to start using Meg`s D151 for the auction guy I work with just to spin the car out quick, it`s an all in one. Normally I use the 105/205 combo. LC Purple Foam Wool Pad is my heavy cutter of choice after the many hours of research I`ve done, I just did a `93 black Audi, took my time a bit and that thing got rid of 90% of all the problems (and believe me, this car was garbage) the guy sold it on looks alone I think. I wouldn`t know about the size issue and it`s effects, maybe someone else can answer that. I don`t think it would be that big a deal other than not having pressure at the edge, maybe save them for "lesser" cars just to get rid of them. I`m a tight wad, anything I can figure a way out to use I will!

Yes you can use those pads. I would get the Megs W66 bp for it. That is what I did. AR recommended it to me and I love it. I have since moved to using a 5"bp with 5.5 pads mainly but yes the 6.5 will work and the w66 is a great bp

is there any dissadvantage to running the 6.5 CCS pads as opposed to another pad?
