Which pads can be used with the Flex-Foam 5"HD BP? AG shows LC Flat Foam and LC Hydrotech 5.5" on the link. The LC 5.5" CCS say that they are for DA's. Meguiars Soft Buff 6.5" require a 5" BP, will they work?

I have 7.5" LC CCS for the large areas, and was thinking it would be good to have a smaller BP and pads for bumpers, etc. I figured since I already have the LC CCS, I'd just get those in the 5.5", but as I read thru the description it says they are made specifically for the DA polishers. Is this just marketing and a pad is a pad?

Thanks, great site.

You can use any of the above pads mentioned. I prefer using the LC Kompressor pads myself

Lake Country Kompressor 6 inch Foam Pads, Foam Buffing Pads, Lake Country buffer pads, polishing pads

Here is a link ^
 
Yeah, you can use any but prime the CCS pad edges prior to using them on the rotary. That sharp edge can cause holograms if your pad tilts a little bit.

The 7.5's should be fine because I believe they are curved. It's the 5.5 you should prime.
 
Cool! Thanks. Another q. I have 2 Mercedes with ceramic clear along with a '03 durango. I planned on getting meguiars 105/205 and then read up on menzernas po83/106 for ceramic clears. Will the 105/205 just take a little more time on the Mercedes? The durango needs the most attention but am concerned about the aggressiveness of the menzerna and didn't really want to buy both.

If I had to have one or the other, I would get Meguiars 105/205. It would be nice though to have both

If anything, using Menzerna will take longer

Good luck,
