Back plate and pad for light polishing

Using the 7424HD what is the back plate and pad to use for light polishing using Menzerna 106FF and 85RD polishes.
Im basicly starting off with a freshly painted surface so really no correction is needed just up keep.
As far as a finishing pad to use with paste wax what size do you guys use?

4" for correction and 5.5" for sealants and waxing for me. You will need a 3.5" bp for the 4" pads

Re: Back plate and pad for light polishing

For light polishing I use the 6 inch plate w/6.5 inch pads. If you need to do corrections medium-heavy, I would use the 4 inch pads w/3.5 inch plate. I just used the same polish on my car 106FA w/LC white and 85RD w/ LC blue.
