I don't think I can stress the importance of these enough.
There's just so many curves areas of a vehicle where these work and fit so much easier than the 5.5 inch pads.

My first step of paint correction or just polishing starts off with my 4 inch pad.
I hit all those areas that the 5.5 won't fit or is too large and will splatter polish everywhere before I change up to my 5.5 pad and finish off the job.
Here's some example areas of what I'm working on...

Back of the trunk...more control with the 4 inch pad to work around the lights and emblems (IMO)
And the top of the rear bumper

Here's an obvious...

5.5 would be a real messy pain on these curves...

Same with front bumper...

And a perfect 4 inch panel before it slopes down...

Most of you all already know and understand this but I felt the need for a quick reminder/write up :)
 
This just reminds me of how much I need some 4 inch pads :nomore:
 
I tell myself every time I place an order with AG that I need a 3.5" backing plate and some 4" pads. Do I ever order them? Nope! And then I kick myself when I don't. There are some areas on every car that these pads would come in handy. Thanks for the reminder!

Your welcome!
When I first got the 3.5 bp and 4 inch pads in my PC kit I thought to myself..."what the heck am I gonna use these little things for". Well I found out quite fast :)
 
I love the LC 4" pads. I use them on my Megs G110V2 with a 3.5" BP. I wish the small BP for the Flex was available.
 
Wait till you see the new LC pads coming out that are beveled and even smaller sizes .
 
I absolutely LOVE 4" pads. I got some 4" LC CCS pads I don't think I could detail without em.
 
I've been using Griot's 3" tangerine pads and like them a lot better than 4". I'd love to see some 3" LC pads available.
 
I tried 4in pads that came with my PC kit, but I found them really hard to control, then when I took off the BP to switch to my 5in I saw that under the BP on the PC it said "only to be used with 5in backing plate"

Is this the "counter weight" are there other ones to use?
 
That Corvette came out awesome!
Can't wait to get some of those new 4 inch pads. I like the beveled edges much better
