    dont mean to get to confusing, but if i'm using a DA polisher like a porter cable unit i use a 5 inch backing plate with lake country 5.5 inch flat foam pad. i like those because you can throw them in washer. but if i have alot of scracthes i usually start with a buffer and the meguiars double sided wool pad. then finish up with a DA polisher.

    Warren...skip the washer and get the grit guard UPW bucket. It's well worth it. Occasionally autogeek tosses it on sale. Best $100 bucket I've ever bought.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I said the same. Til a buddy brought his up to a meet. I bought one soon after.

    Know that car you get that needs multilple pad cleanings as you are SIP'ing it? Yep, takeas seconds and your pad is clean and ready for the next panel.
