WolfGang Low Profile 5.5 light cutting pads

I recieved a couple of these free with one of my kit purchases and I am unsure what exactly these are best used for. They seem pretty abrasive and hard and im a bit scared to use them. Would these be used for more extreme paint repairs?

by the way, they are the orange ones.

They are the same cut as the CCS Orange, you would use them with a swirl remover.

Cool thanks, that's what I figured but I just wanted to make sure. I love the Porter Cable kit offerings from AG. Even though I wasn't 100% knowledgable of what i was purchasing they took care of me!

actually found these to be easier to work with than their larger counterparts. these are easier to center, don't warp out of the place, and dont absorb a ton of product.

it would be neat to see some CCS in this design.

I love the 5.5" orange pads. They're smaller than the regular pads and do a great job. Personally, even if it takes longer, the smaller pads give you better control.

I love those pads.. Threw some extra orange and whites in on my last order after getting a couple of freebies. I honestly use them more than my CCS pads now.

May all be in my head because of the extra control, but I think I can finish a car quicker with the smaller pad.
