Thanks for the help. Strange thing is smaller backing plates are offered - 3 3/4 and 5" but very few pads to match those sizes other than Meguiar's.......lotta 7, 7.5 and 8 inch pads.......like to use a smaller pads for license plate area, etc.

3 3/4" bp and 4" pads are great for tight areas, mirrors, A pillars, polishing glass and polishing headlights.

Why is that? I have seen others say that too. For what reason is bigger not better when using a rotary........less control, more dangerous, etc.?????
