    Tape off what ever does not need polishing. Attach a 3" or 3.5" backing plate with 4" pads and make some noise.

    I prefer 3'' pads for better control, and edging.

    Lake Country has the 3 inch pads? I just looked and couldn't find them. Which type of pad comes in the 3 inch?

    Nevermind I just read it wrong. Your talking about the 3 x 1.25 pads correct?

    Your using the LC 3 inch backing plate?

    Yep 3x1.25 is what you want with the 3" backing plate. The hydrotechs are great pads

    Is there a 3" backing plate for the Flex 3401? Everyone mentions the 4"
