    Thanks. This is pretty comprehensive and the additional comments in your review helped as well. How do think they compare directly against the Rupes pads? Are you able to feel any vibration difference, and is that as critical as some write about? Obviously, you were already using the B&S pads before. I want to be wise about caring for my machine, but also don't want a bunch of marketing hype to get me to spend a lot more money. I want to make 'wise' investments.
    Thanks.

    Tony--can't compare to the Rupes pads as I've never used them. I was using a GG6 for the past few years and added the G15 specifically for "ease of use"-- low vibration, smoothness and no need to add serious pressure.

    As I mentioned I initially used the G15 with standard B&S flat 5.5" pads and was happy with the lack of vibration, etc, but when I began using the new Low-Pro pads I was surprised at how much smoother and vibration free the polisher performed. Important to me!!!

    Before investing in a ton of new pads why not just get a couple (orange and maroon a good choice) to see how you like them.
