just ordered a rupes 21 with the standard backing plate. I want to pick up a few mf pads for it. with the sale, what should I get? I have 5.25 inch pads but that would require me to swap out the plate. I have 6.5 and 5.5 css pads along with my gg with the 6 inch plate. I also have a hf unit with a 3" plate and a 5" plate. I'm guessing the meg pads?
 
Thanks I'll get some ordered.

I have Meg's with no problems so far. The mf finishing pads actually have really good cut on the rupes 21 and finish out awesome so I usually try to correct with those before moving to a cutting pad.
 
I switch back and forth between Megs and Buff & Shine mf pads. Due to many various paint types and conditions , I find times where one is desired over another. I try and match process requirements with whatever the paint dictates.

I am the same way! But if I had to go with one at the moment I would go with the Meg's ones.
 
I guess what I'm curious about is pad size. Only meg has 6" pads. Is the rupes a 6" plate or 6.5?
