In buying a 3.5 BP I was looking at the hi gloss ccs 4inch power pad jr. I'm having trouble around the curves on the fenders I don't want to fling product every where and from what I read with these pads they are designed to absorb off axis. The pad adjusts to spread the uneven pressure evenly over the whole pad. I have regular 4 inch lake country pads in my cart now but maybe I'll be fine with these any tips on buffing on curves of the car?

I like the 4" Cool Wave CCS pads from Autopia.

I haven't had any issues so far with the LC 4" hydro tech pads!

I love the LC CCS constant pressure pads, it's smooth on my rotary with 3" BP, to me it's made better than the Hydro techs:xyxthumbs:

Thanks for the advice can u give me any advice on buffing on the curves on a car I'm having trouble getting the pad flat to where product flings off the pad a little I have 5.5 pads should I apply more pressure or just easier to go with these four inch pads I own a griots DA buffer just got the buffer last week

I've found the tapered 4" Rupes Pads be very good. They even work really well on the Griot's 3" Mini Polisher.

Thanks to another forum member here, he suggested the Meguiars 4" Power DA Pads, that places like Autozone, and even some Wally Worlds sell now. They fit very nicely on the 3" Griots DA.
