5.5 red or blue

Same here!

4" hydro tech crimson, I find the 4" pad is a bit slower than larger pads but way faster and easier than hand. Will get to a lot tighter places than 5.5 or 6.5" pads

:iagree: same here......I do not use the lager pads when applying a lsp so I won't have to stop and change machines for the tighter areas ,a few areas I may have to break out a foam applicater to finish up but this way seams quick to me.

5.5" buff and shine black pad

I'm thinking 5.5" too guys. 4" would be could to cover all areas easily, but will take too long.

6" for large areas, then use a 3" to finish pillars, bumpers and any other tight areas. All GG products including DA.

Not as long as you would think Mark.

5.5-in blue.

I use 5.5" white LC pads. I don't see much point in buying pads that are only useful for spreading wax or sealant.

So, I use the white LC pads, and if I ever happen to run out of polishing pads....I'll clean the one I was using for LSP, and use it. More of a backup plan than anything else I guess, ha.

White pads have some cut this could cause marring. Plus I keep dedicated pads for LSP's because they very hard to clean after sealants IMO. One thing about LSP pads they pretty much never wear out!

I use a dedicated 5.5 LC Red Hydro pad.

"White Low Profile Polishing 5.5 inch Foam Pad - Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so its perfect for pre-wax cleaners."

It only has cut if provided with a cutting product. I don't use a pad I was polishing with to apply wax. But I will clean one I was using for LSP to polish with after cleaning it.
