Hi,

I just received my entire kit from AG and had a quick question. My PC came with the original White pad that you can screw into the PC. What is this used for? I have the 5 inch plate that I will be using with LC pads.

Thanks,

That pad is junk and should not be used on your paint. I recommend tossing it in the garbage...Some will say you can use it with a MF bonnet over it, but I also do not recommend using MF bonnets...(Just my opinion)...

That's what I figured and I dont see people on here using a bonnet too often. I'll go in my box of extras I guess.

With my 5 inch backing plate, Do I use the plastic looking washer?
