    Re: Lake County pads

    I would use the 6.5 flat pads, unless you have a option to use a 5 inch BP with the 5.5 inch pads.

    For one step products I usually go with the soft green and white if I need to bump it up.

    Re: Lake County pads

    If you mean Griot's Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher then 4", 5.5" and 6.5" pads and proper backing plate is what you want.

    Personally I would stick with the 4" and 5.5" only.

    I use the 6.5 pads. They work very well.

    Re: Lake County pads

    I have 6.5" CCS and 4" flat pads with a PCXP. I would imagine that the Griots and PCXP should perform similarly.

    The 5.5" should correct quicker and handle small and tight curves better than the 6.5". I plan to add a 5" backing plate at some point and move towards the 5.5" pads. I think that I like the flat pads better but I have compressor pads coming. I will share my thoughts after I get a chance to try the compressor pads. I'm a hobbiest not a professional, so this is my 2 cents worth.

    I find the Griots works really well with the 6.5" pads although I personally like to work with the 5.5" CCS pads. Its all about what you like.
