4" pads?

I just ordered some 4" yellow pads. They're smaller than I thought they would be. Are they OK to use woth the PC? They have the hook and loop backs. Tinny little things.

they are fine. THe 4" yellows have some power! Use for particularly bad spots on cars. Use speeds 4-5. 6 has been known to cause exploding backing plates, burned paint, and even start smoking compounds O.O

Bought them to attempt removal of waterspots on my windows. I'm trying Megs #9 first.

Thanks

I haven't tried the 4" pads yet, but I reall like the 5.5" pads I have. I just have the orange one, but I prefer it over the 6.5" as it seems to be much easier to use.

Soak some vinegar with a warm towel and set the towel over the water spots or use AIO,PBs pro polish with your pC on a lower speed with the white or blue LC pads or one of the Edge softer pads..
