I think 6.5" are a good size for the 3401, as far as what kind, I will let someone else give you some info on that...

Edit: You will love the 3401, I got it the same day I ordered my PCXP and use them both for different things... 3401 for correction, PCXP for waxes and sealers.

Congrats on your purchase! It will speed things up a bit.I like the 6.5" flat pads and the 5.5" Lake Country Variable Contact pads that Poorboy's carries that are designed for the flex. below is a 5.5" orange CCS pad and a 5.5" red LC VC pad designed for the flex seemingly only sold by Poorboy's World.

5.5" Lake Country...





The BP on the Flex isx 5.5''.

Yes I know, I put the 2 pads side by side to show how much bigger the VC 5.5" pad is than the CCS pad. The VC pad protects the work from the backing plate where using the CCS would be asking for trouble.

I couldn't have said it better! :laughing:

6 or 6 1/2 are perfect for the Flex 3401.
