This is great Mike! I'm sure it'll be helpfull to a lot of people.

[CU2MIKE]

I have 1 question about the surbuff pads, do I clean them like how I clean my foam pads? With the DP pad rejuvenator and a brush?

[feslope]

Thank you Mike. Excellent compilation of useful info. No need to guess anymore.:xyxthumbs:

[rohnramirez]

Thanks for sharing Mike, that is really helpful.

If i may suggest, kindly add a picture of the back as well showing how much the H&L velcro covers. Like for example, the 6" HTs have only 5.5" velcro and the 6" GG Pads cover the entire back of the pad. :)

[jayhkr]

This is great info for me Mike, thanks a lot!

[Bunky]

Isn't the contact area of a 5.5-in flat pad still greater than 5-in due to pad compression?

[hellzdragon]

What about the CCS 6.5 inch pads? I only ask because these pads come with a lot of the kits sold by AGO.

[Marc Hufnagel]

For overall use with DUragloss 501/105, Ultimate Wax liquid and at most mild swirl removal and overall wax application, CCS or Flat Lake Country 5.5?
