What size pads are you guys using with a rotary?

[Garry Dean]

Just wondering if most of you use 6.5" and 4" pads as opposed to 7.5" or 8.5" pads?

Mostly 6.5", but some are a little smaller and some a tad larger.

I use different size pad for different areas of the car. If I am polishing the hood, roof, doors or other large areas, I go with as large of pads as I have, some are up to 8 inches to cover more area. When polishing tighter area like around the spoiler, the front and the rear around the headlights/brake lights/ I will use smaller pads like 4 inches or smaller. Around my quarter panels which are not tight but not as large as the hood, roof, etc. I will use 6 or 6.5 inch pads.
