Using 6.5" pads with 5.0" backing plate

[Pinstripe]

If you want to waste your time and money go and get the 6" bp.

Hey again mudman. Maybe he's just reiterating that it's really not that necessary (6" bp), and not that uncommon a combo. My guess at least?

In fact ... notice the PC7424 instructional vids that AutoGeekOnline themselves has posted, right here on this website: Dual Action Orbital Polishers and pads: Porter Cable 7424 : Lake Country Buffing Foam Pads

He's using a 5" bp ... with all 6.5" pads.

the 6.5" pads aren't useless, they can be used, it's just that the 5.5" pads provide better correction ability. I think thats what Rsurfer meant

Thanks for the clarification guys. Rsurfers comment had me kind of wondering if I just wasted all my money.
