Smart move to come out with 3" Hydrotech pads..

[WRAPT C5Z06]

Finally some foam pads in 3". If I'm using a 5.5" pad with my DA, I can use them most of the time where I would use 4" pads. 4" pads are a bit too big for their own good, IMO. With 3" pads, I can really make use of them on smaller areas. Good job LC!

But the 7/8" design would work better on the Griot's 3" D/A vs. the 1.25"

Surgical Buffing

Working on thin panels or intricate areas is what I call surgical buffing. In order to do surgical buffing you need the right tools.

We have these new 3" pads and together with a 3" backing plate and an adapter for using double side pads but I use them as an extension.

That might be in the works for the future but one step at a time... years ago my frined Scott Smith coined the term,

I still think a DA can spin these 3" pads, no problem. 7/8" would obviously be golden.
