    6.5" pads on Flex: Flat, CCS, or Hybrid?

    Hey all,

    I'd like some feedback on what you might have used in the 6.5" variety of pads with your Flex. I currently have 6.5" flat pads for it but was wondering what else is out there. I also have the LC backing plate system, as well as both flavors of factory Flex plates so that's not a deterrent to running any specific pad.

    Here's what I'm looking for:

    What do you use?
    Why do you like it?

    No, no, guys I OWN 5" hybrid pads, they're great for handling, but they are way too small to do the entire SUV my wife and I just purchased. I need a bigger pad for those big body panels to save some time.

    So let me know what you like in the 6.5" variety.

    They obviously make a 6.5" hybrid pad as well, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info out on it.

    I use both sizes of Hybrids on my Flex and have no complaints. I also use the 5 1/2 and 6 1/2" Flat and Hydro Flat pads on it as well. They all work well, but my go-to pads are the Hybrids.

    This.

    I only use the hybrid pads as they deliver superior results for me. Coupled with Menzerna polishes and you have an incredible setup.

    If you like the smaller hybrid pads then go with the larger ones. You know they work you just need/want more area coverage
