They brought back the 6.5" LC flat pads, but they don`t have the 5s. IIRC, Jack said that they should have the 4" soon, but I don`t know if he is planning to get the 5s or not.

You have to be careful with *certain* 4" pad/polish combos on the PC, with certain paints, as I know some people that have burned paint. This is why some people claim that when using the PC for correction, 4" pads are the only way to go.

I like the 5.25" pads, because the pressure is more evenly distributed since the backing plate covers the majority of the back of it.

I`ve definitely created heat with the 4" pads on PC. No burning yet. The work well for correction, that`s for sure.

Ivan, sorry for the confusion on my part-I failed to recongnize that you specifcally posted a question about 5.5 -flat- pads. I am using the 5 1/4 inch ccs pads bought here, what are `flat` pads and how do they differ from conventional ones?

They are conventional ones haha... they`re just flat instead of having pockets, grooves, etc.
