Detailers Domain - Uber

Anyone use the 5.5: Uber pads from Detailers Domain??? You hear so much about LC it's almost like you don't want to pull the trigger on any other brand...

But 6.5 is useless on a DA, you need 5.5" to do any decent correction and LC does not have 5.5" flat pad anymore.

Not all DA's. For the PC, true. They are fine for the flex.

The larger pads work well with Flex and new Griots buffer indeed.

True, it just skipped my mind when I was writing that.

Re: Detailers Domain - Uber

For the normal PC they are just to big to get enough heat in it to break down the polish. The sweet spot is in the center and with a 6.5" pad is smaller than that of a 5.5" as you are rotating less weight around, thus you will get better performance and cutting ability out of a smaller pad than larger. It seems that 5.5" was about the max a org. PC could go to before decreasing performance.

Re: Detailers Domain - Uber

My UDM can handle the Meg's Soft Buff 2.0 pads (7-in) without much issue.

saw a video yesterday with a guy buffing at speed 3 with a PC and it sure seems underpowered compared to a UDM. I have never used a PC so cannot speak first hand.
