Mike thanks for the help.

I will be going for the 5.5 pads. What backing plate would I need? A link would be great.

All of the above backing plates work great, the Edge model is now all black, I need to update the picture.

I think you're gonna be fine with the 105. Lately I've been using Meg's UC on a LC flat orange pad for really heavy swirls and scuffs. It cuts quite a bit more than WG TSR, so cuts way down on the buffing time.

M105 and Ultimate Compound are true compounds, the Wolfgang TSR is a medium polish, not as aggressive as a true compound but still offers excellent defect removal and finishes out really nice.

Even though UC is reportedly a bit lighter in cut than 105, I haven't found anything UC won't tackle...yet...and it is easy to remove. I still follow with WG Finishing Glaze as the last polishing step.

Agree. To me, when using a DA the M105 and UC are close enough I would reach for the one closest to my hand...

The Wolfgang Finishing Glaze really finishes down nice... to date I can't think of any paint system it hasn't worked flawlessly on...


:)
 
Thanks everyone. I think I will pick up the UC at the local store if I need it. Looks like I will wait a day to order to see if there is a deals.
 
Thanks for the heads up. I'm trying to keep it on the DL I haven't told the wife how big the purchase will be!
