What's the opinion about using a 4" or other small pad with a drill. Another site has an adapter/3 pad set but I don't see one here. Have I overlooked it by chance? Was looking to do some light spot work/waxing and clean up plastic headlights on my DD.

Thanks fellows - i was pretty sure these were available from AG. One other question, it looks like there are two 2+" backing plates available. One is hard plastic ($8), the other a more flexible urethane thats $13. Any experience with these and is the higher priced one better?

The flexible backing plate would be more beneficial and user friendly. Your finishes will come out better as you build your technique.

Hard backing plates aren't forgiving when you need them to be, however they work well depending on one's technique and polishing process. Meaning, if you are smooth in your delivery of product to the finish of the paint then either plate will work well.

If you're not so smooth then the hard backing plate will help you to build that technique.
