To expand on this how about a mini that may also work with smaller 2in pad! For those of us who like the get into tight areas and not go old school with it.

Re: Griot's Garage NEW BOSS Paint Polishing System
Also has anyone else noticed this, On the 21 im using CCS pads and im noticing that sometimes the edges of the pad are not making contact. Are they too thick? I notice the BOSS pads are thin in comparison to other pads on the market.

Used my G15 with Buff & Shine 5.5" flat pads which are a little less than an inch thick and had no problems with the pad making contact.

Is the weight of the machine causing the pad to mushroom? Or the pad too big for the backing plate? I don't own any ccs pads so I can't compare.

Yeah, I made a post about that with LC 5.5" pads too. They are too thick. But I'm also not sure it's not an optical illusion as I did some work over the weekend I paid close attention to where the product was on the darker colored vehicle.

Is this on a flat panel? Not sure understand how it's not making contact. Can you get a picture?
New CCS pads are not "ideal" IMO for large throw tools. You'd have better performance with Rupes, Megs discs, LC's HD orbital pads, or the Griot's BOSS pads. The 5" B&S pads work pretty well too.

AT least not the 6.5" pads as they are too thick.
The 5.5" CCS pads are much thinner but I've never tried them on the BOSS or the RUPES as I stick to the pads that are made for each tooll.

That sounds like an example of pushing the limit of adhesive technology.
I know over the years pad manufacturers have had to continually improve adhesive technology because we out here in the car detailing world push our pads to their limits.

Being new to machine polishing didnt know of such limit lol
Just figured speed 5 and 6 were for correction and didnt think of a pad not withstanding it as it were boss pads made for boss polisher..
EXpensive lesson on my part as it was 1 job and pads were straight out of packages....
If a pad of a polishing system cant be used , why have those speeds on the polisher? Wht would a manufacturer setup their system and their customer for failure lol
Or atoeast have a note/warning that say hey our polisher has 6 speeds but tests say our pads are only good up to speed 4 or 4.5
Thats 6 pads i pretty much laid to rest or atleast started their death bed
Ill be glad when 3d releases their new pads
They did testing right
Abuse the living sh!t out of them, as in 1 pad per car..multiple jobs and it still looks good/un hurt
Griot is like building an v8 engine that revs to 7k but with cast rods that only hold up to 5k...
Where as 3d seems to be building a total forged/ billet enginento withstand its max capabilites plus some abuse here and there..
