    5 inch backing plate

    I recently purchased a Griots Garage 3rd Generation.

    Would a 5 inch backing plate be too powerfull for this machine. It actually feels more powerfull then my meguiars machine.

    Should I stick with 6 inch pads since that is what Griots sells.

    Not at all. It's a good move to use 5.5" pads.
