Re: Recommendations for backing plate and pads for my GG
If you want to stick with Meguiars the Meguiars 5 Inch DA Foam Discs are good pads. Add a couple MF cutting pads if the paint is hard and you are set.

Re: Recommendations for backing plate and pads for my GG
I've got a lot of seat time with the Ultimate line.
I really like green, blue, and red Buff and Shine foam pads.
The green is designated as a polishing pad, but years ago the same foam was designated for cutting. I was very surprised at how well it works with smat abrasives. You can check out my 1000 grit vs... album to get an idea.
I use the blue for general and finish polishing. There were times I'd crank up my PC to 6 with Ultimate Polish to get the result I wanted - swirl removal, and sometimes down to 3.5 - 4 for finish polishing.
Ultimate Wax on the red applicator pad is self explanatory.
When the green foam struggles, I use Buff and Shine microfiber pads with the orange foam core.
If you go that route, pick up Buff and Shine plates for the highest hook and loop compatability.

GG6 - the 5 inch back plate with the boss pads. Later you can get the Boss long throw machine with the 5 inch backplate.. you don't have to worry about getting different size pads. I recommend getting the 3 inch backplate for the GG6. And them Boss creams,their awesome! Smells good and no dust.

Yes, get the GG3 plate though as it's places for the GG6 already

Re: Recommendations for backing plate and pads for my GG
I just got a 7424XP (same idea as you GG6), and am new to machine polishing. To start off I went with a lake country 5 inch backing plate, 5 inch backin plate, 5 inch hook and loop backing plate and Lake Country 5 1/2 Inch Flat Pads 12 Pack - Your Choice!. I got 5 orange, 5 white and 2 black. I will also be using Meg's UC and UP, and Collinite 845.

Re: Recommendations for backing plate and pads for my GG
I'd recommend the buff and shine microfiber pads, took out some really good swirls and scratches that the orange foam was struggling with and on top of that finished really nice, went straight to LSP
