4" Pads: You Likey?

I used a 4" orange pad today. I liked it because my PC was actually able to keep it spinning, even with a bit of pressure.

Maybe someone can point me to a thread where the pros and cons of 4" pads are discussed, or perhaps you may be willing to re-post some earlier comments.

pros- on a pc actually does more correction than a bigger pad with the same product being used and is great for spot jobs

cons- if minor correction is all that is needed...can take longer due to the smaller area covered...

Agree, I never liked applying waxes/sealants with 6" pads. But applying wax or sealant on an ultra soft 4" Edge Blue pad (I had one of the 1st testers, this thing is even much softer then the white finishing pad), I can do my truck in a fraction of the time compared to by hand.

Yes sir!

Cyclo DoublePrecision pads are double-sided foam buffing pads for the Cyclo polisher.


You've been missing out my friend.
