    I'll suggest to use Meguiar's 5" B.P.

    The plate that comes with the GG6 is 6" and should work fine with a 6.5" pad. You need a little wiggle room at the end of the pad. The BP shouldn't hang over the Velcro. If so, it can cut into the soft foam.

    Indeed, the W67DA BP go with the 6.5's. Can also be used with the 5" MF Discs.
