Does anyone actually use 6+" pads for correction?

[Rez90]

I've realized that using them for my final polish and or wax works well but i can't get much correction at all using large pads.

Do you guys use 6" or larger pads for correction? I have a hard time understanding why LC and other companies even make cutting pads in this size....

or i'm just doing it wrong....

I use the Griots 6" pads all the time. The 6.5's work great too!

I use them. Esp on my Flex 3401. I do prefer the 5.5 for most jobs, but, the 6+ do get used.

Don't forget about rotary polishers. They have the power to spin bigger pads.

I rarely ever use my 6 inch pads any more on my PC7424XP. The 5 inch pads work much better. But for a rotary 6 inch works great!

Yep, all I use is 6 1/2" and 4" pads on my Flex 3401

He's right, on a forced rotation DA the 6.5's work very well. But not as well on clutch system DA's like the Griots and PC IMO

They're mostly for rotaries, I myself very much prefer 5.5" pads on my DA

I have no trouble at all spinning 6.5" pads on my griots. In fact, i have a hard time even stopping it.

I mostly use 6.5" and 4" pads on both my da and rotary. But on my original pc, thats a different story. Newer DAs have more then enough power to correct. If you're pressing down that hard to get good correction you need to rethink your approach like using surbufs(very little pressure, massive correction).

I use to big a big fan of 5.5's, but have found myself replacing them with 6.5's as they wearout
