which is better? 6" or 7.5"?? i heard 7.5" kinda flops around. im looking at the lake country pads at topoftheline.com. what should i get to start out w/ as i just got my pc and have no pads yet. any recommendations would help out a lot.



one step closer to getting my shine on.
 
Hi JCrawford,



I think you will find many suggestions and recommendations here on Autopia. First place to look would be to use the search feature. I know you will find a wealth of information. This topic has been brought up many times.



Happy Detailing.



With Aloha,

Ranney :)
 
Hey Ranney,



by the way, i just got two waffle weave towels from you guys and used it the other day. it 's awesome. you guys make some good products.
 
JCrawford, I use the 7.5" LC pads from TOTL with the 6" backing plate and 6" counterweight without any problems. Get 6 for $45. 2 of each or whatever combo you need. You might get better "control" with 6" pads, but for tight areas, I just did those by hand.
 
Different needs require different pads. General use the 7.5 Lake Country pads were fine for me. If I needed some concentrated work on heavier swirl or micro-scratches I used 6". For tight areas 4" I'm told is a good way to go.



Speaking of which, I want to buy a 3.5" backing plate and 4" pads. Any recommendations?



Also.. what's with the orange pad on CMA? They make it sound like it's more extreme.. at least more special.. than a yellow pad. True?
 
I have the yellow and the orange pads. I didn't see any real difference between the two. Perhaps,as CMA claims, longevity is the advantage of the orange pads. I think they claim they last a real long time making them the choice of pads used on car assembly lines.
 
where is the best place to get orange pads? I tried TOTL but they only have yellow, black and white. Any recommendations?
