    if there not flat all they do is start to rip and dont have the bite/cut to them . flat pads make the job go alot faster also

    Once you get the DA (I have both PCxp and Griot's...I like them both...the Griots is a good choice) you will need polishing product.

    To get you started I personally would recommend:

    For the Foam Pads Megs M105 and M205.
    NOTE: The 105/205 work best with the Kevin Brown Method.
    or
    Meg Ultimate Compound and Megs Ultimate Polish
    NOTE: The Ultimate products may be easier to start with.

    and

    Megs DA Microfiber Correction Compound
    Megs DA Microfiber Cutting Discs, 5 inches

    Can I use the Lake Country Pads you referenced earlier or do I need to use Meguiars?

    I'm sorry to all, this is VERY new topic to me and I'm trying to learn as much as possible and do it right so I don't screw it up!

    I've had both and easily like the Griot's better than the PCXP. If you want a noticeably less powerful DA, go with the PCXP.

    The Meguiars backing plate tends to keep the the MF pads a bit cooler than the LC backing plate. When using foam pads, you can get away with either backing plate.

    So when you say foam pads work with either plate that means the LC pads will work just fine with the Meguiars backing plate?
