Looking for some 5.5" pads

[HateSwirls]

OK so I looked for some really good pads to my rotary, size 5.5".
I want them flat, for cutting , polishing and finishing.

Any advice on which brand to go with?
AG offers so may pads, man hard to pick some out.
What I'm really looking for is a pad that accepts the backing plate that would go inside of the pad some, example one with a rubber ring around the pad , the ring isn't really needed just used it as an example.

Lake Country 5 1/2 x 7/8 inch Beveled Edge Pads 6 Pack, foam pad kit, build a kit, buffing pads, curved edge pads

These I've had my eyes on for a couple of months.
Any of you use them ?, if so what are you thoughts on them?

Very good pads. They work great with my rotary and DA tools. The ONLY drawback to the pad design is the beveled edge which makes it difficult to get right up next to trim/edges. On the same note the beveled edge makes them incredibly smooth on the rotary.

Thanks man

I thought the same, easy use on a rotary.
Getting close to a tight edge I can live with.

Thinking about getting three of the tangerine and three of the white ones.

The hydro techs work really well with the rotary as well. If using the thinner DA pad, pick up the white Flex BP.

I have a bunch of orange, white, and black. The white and black get the most usage now since I've switched a lot of my primary compounding to MF pads.

I like the white flex backing plate on the rotary as well. Mike seems to use the Meguiars soft buff pads on the rotary when I read his write ups but they seem to jump from 7 inch down to 4 inch.

That's the problem I'm having in picking out anew set of pads.
Not much in between.

I see a ton of 6.5 inch pads.
For the most part I've only used a double sided wool pad with my rotary, as of late I tried the hex logic pads but don't care for them when using it with a rotary.
I think the flat pads would suit me well.

Thanks for helping

So they sell a 5 inch Flex Backing Plate here for the rotary?
I read up on the hydro tech pads, they seem that do a good job.
I'd like to make up my mind today and order them, I need six of them.
3 orange and 3 white pads.

This is the one I use on a PE-14.
