I have two DA Buffers. One Meguiars and One Porter. I noticed that one of the vidoes on this site talks about using Kompressor Pads to ensure the pad hugs the vehicle's curves better.

Both DAs have a six inch baking plate. I looked for the 6.5 Kompressor pads but couldn't find it. Would 7" pads be ok on the 6" DA? I will use these pads for polishing, waxing and sealant.

Thanks in advance.

7" pads have 6" loop on them, so you will be fine.

These pads are way too big for a DA.

I wouldn't go bigger than 5.5" on a DA (except The Flex).
Smaller pad are easier to rotate and will work a lot better and faster.

:iagree: I've tried some different combinations but 5.5 lc pads and a 5" backing plate seem to work the best for me. Less vibration and more efficient for sure.
