Hi everyone, looking forward to start getting serious about my paint detailing and learning from everyone. I just bought the Harbor Freight DA polisher and will be doing the "mods" I found online(high temp bearing grease,rotating handle so switch is up,replace screws with allen heads and replace backer plate)

I also just ordered from here the lake country 5 1/2"foam pad 6 pack and their 5" backing plate. Should I be using a 6" pad with 5" backer?

Anyway as for cars I have an 08' CTS4 and the wife has a 08' Malibu and my baby is my 10' Corvette GS. Looking forward to learning all I can here!

Hey i just decided to join forum also Ive used the site before and was doing research on the PC then came across the HF DA so will be purchasing that as ive seen it plenty of times in the store and just assumed the PC would be a better investment.

Howdy Don and rcruz and welcome to AGO.
I also have the HF Polisher I have both 3 1/2" & 5 1/2" backing plates. I use B&S 5 1/2" and 4" pads. Also have 5" brushes for carpet and seats. I have not done any mods... yet
Don you can use 6" pads on the 5" BP and 7" pads on the 6" BP.
