Re: New on AGO/Auto Detailing
Got it!
Do you think I'm going to need a smaller backing plate?
Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so much for your help.
i would get the 4 3/8 backing plate so you can run 5.5" pads. you can use 6.5" pads with the stock backing plate that comes on the flex. as far as the 4" backing plate, unless you use 4" pads that have hook & loop all the way to the outer edge then i would pass on it and just use a pc-style DA and set that up with a smaller pad set-up with a 3" DA backing plate and 3.5" pads...

Re: New on AGO/Auto Detailing
The 4 3/8 plate and LC Force 5.5 pads are a great combo with the Flex.
For me, prefer SMAT liquids with Flex, M101 w/ gray Force can remove some pretty serious defects in only 4 passes, M205 w/ white finishes nicely.
I figure if the Flex + right liquid can get what I need in only 4 passes, why use a DAT polish/compound that needs to be worked longer to totally break it down?
Generally start with larger plate and 6.5 pads for hood/roof/trunk and then smaller plate w/ 5.5 for vertical panels.
Gray pads are pretty good at major removal but wear quickly.
6 of each type is generally what I shoot for.
I believe there have been some breakage issues with the LC interchangeable plate kit so never used it.

Thank you so much, I got 2 each white, orange and gray 6.5 pads. I got the Wolfgang Swirl Remover, but I will definitely try that if I don't have any luck w/ the Wolfgang brand.
