You'll need the 5 inch pads with a 5 inch interface pad

This one,

CarPro Rayon Glass Polishing Pad, glass leveling discs

You'll need the 5 inch pads with a 5 inch interface pad

A person could buff without the interface pad but here's the dealio...

The backing plate is HARD.

The CarPro glass polishing pad is thin and hard.

Together you have a HARD pad/backing plate pressed against glass, which is also HARD.

It's going to be a rough buff. The foam interface smooths out the buffing action and this smooths out the FELT action of the pad against the glass to you, your hands, your arms and the rest of your body.

And when you consider how long you have to buff glass to remove scratches or wiper marks - you're going to want that interface pad.
