Rotary Buffer pads

[ezeyhomero]

Hi all, just wanted to know if you can recommend me cutting/light cutting/polishing pads between 5.5" to 6.5" ?
I've checked these ones Lake Country Pads but it's say to use with DA not rotary, so they are not properly for my case?
Also I'd like to know if it's better for rotary flat pads or with holes?
thanks, I appreciate all the help you can give me. Good bye!

I use 5.5" flat pads on the rotary. I started with 6.5" but after using the 5.5" ill never go back to the 6.5" unless I really need to. So much nicer. Flat pads or CCS is all personal preference. A lot of people like the flat pad more.

Did you bought the 5.5" flat pads in AG?? because I can't see them, and what about these ones: CCS foam buffing pads,foam polishing pads,lake country foam pads,foam polisher pads,buffer pads,lake county pads,porter cable pads,pads for air sander ?thanks

For rotary use, everyone needs to check out the Edge system at one point or another. They're by far the easiest pads I've ever worked with, and that says a lot considering I love LC pads.

What I've noticed is that Meguiars #105 and #205 are with free bonus 7" 2.0 Soft pads, what would be better, to buy a 5.5" CCS foam buffing pads,foam polishing pads,lake country foam pads,foam polisher pads,buffer pads,lake county pads,porter cable pads,pads for air sander(with holes) or the 6.5" Lake Country Pads(flats) ?
because there is minimium difference between the 7" to 6.5" ? I'm not so sure about 5.5" because they said for DA, but if someone has use them and can give the ok it would be great! thanks

Which pads do you prefer? The 8" flat Durafoam or the waffle?

Doesn't really matter to me, they're all easy to work with and the waffle pattern isn't anything "drastic" so it doesn't make a huge difference IMO.

Agree 100% with this. I use the Edge system strictly for rotary use (both wool and wave foam), and LC for DA use. Both companies are top-notch and both have found their place in my details. But for rotary, I love that I'm perfectly centered 100% of the time (I just don't have the patience I used to :cheers, and the quick flip to a clean side is very nice as well.

I just started the summer detail on my car and used the foam wool pads offerd by AG. These pads worked really well.

I did some spot correction with SIP and the 7.5 in pad and followed up with total swirl removal using Menz Micro polish and the 6.5 in pad. Really easy to use and worked well.

Here is a link to the 7.5 in pad.

I will add that this is the first time I have used these pads.

Now all I have to do is jewel the car this weekend.
