    DA backing plates ?'s

    I'm considering buying a DA. I've settled on a GG or Meguire's. I know there are many PC 7424xp's out there, but I don't like the vibration reports I'm seeing.

    Are the backing plates that come with these DA's okay? Do I need to order, or should I order different backing plate sizes? What about adapters and such? I don't mind buying what I may end up needing.

    I say gg6 it is . many good opinions on gg. I have gg and the flex and could not comment on the megs. there seems to be not much talk on the megs . gg will come with a 6 inch bp to use with 6.5 pads . now I use and lots others 5.5 pads and then u will need to get a lc 5" bp then . no adapters needed

    Just keep in mind that if you ever comptemplate buying the new Megs DA microfiber correction system you will need a Megs DA backing plate to ensure you don't destroy the MF pads which some guys are reporting ...that have not followed Megs recommendations.
    In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

    You just need the newer shorter "hook & loop" style backing. I didn't notice a difference between the Megs BP that came with the Meg's DA system and a LC BP.
