:( looking around to place an order today on smaller backplates for my rotary a dewalt for better paint correction also looking to purchase a great sealant!, claybay, lamwool pad, glaze, also new foam pads for my new bacplates for paint correction any recommendations????:yay
 
Autogeek hands down. I like a 6 in plate for my rotary but rarely use it because I work on large vehicles and prefer the 8 in pads for them. As for pads the options are endless and it really comes down to personal preferance. I've had great luck with LC CCS pads. I would look into Poorboys for glaze, polish, sealant, etc. Wolfgang 3.0 is a great sealant too.

This is the thing i am confuse about i have a backplate for my dewalt is a 6.5" with a 8" foam pad but i dont quite get at ALL the paint correction i am looking for so therefore i thought if i go smaller in my backplate it would be better
 
i wonder how small and how big can i go with the foam pads with this backplate (6.5") because i have 2 foam pads of 8" but dont get alot of good results so i am guessing the bigger i can go would be 7" but how small?? That way i can tell what other sizes of backplate would come in handy
 
we use 6" backing pads with 6.5" pads for most work and 4" pads for spot work. I like CCS and VC, many get great results with the Foamed Wool.

I just measure my BP it saids 6 1/2 so it would be a 6.5 right?? and i was looking to buy the custom combo of 6 LC 6.5 pads to use with the BP i mention i have am i doing something right???
 
If your not getting the correction your looking for it's more likely due to the products rather than your pad size. If you want to go really small, try the LC 4 3/4 inch plate with 5 or 5 1/2 inch pads. I think that's as small as I would go with an 849.

Good Point!! well since i got a 6.5 BP i ma go head an order the 6 pk LC 6.5 also need a 7" woolpad
 
The 6 1/2 inch plate that's on your machine may not be suitable for CCS pads if it's a 3M. If it's like mine the outside edge of the plate is angled slightly and made of rubber, and is made for 7 and 8 inch rotary pads. I wish I had my machines and pads here at home because I would throw a CCS pad on my rotary and post a pic of what I'm talking about. Basically, you want your pad to be a bit bigger than the plate. It's pretty common for DA polishers to run a 6 inch plate with 6 1/2 inch pads for example.

If you have a photo bucket account load it there then copy and paste the IP address in the thread. That's the easiest way.

This is a 6.5" pad i had in mind in ordering a 6 pack of LC 6.5" foam pads for better paint correction also was thining in ordering a foam wool pad 6.5"
 
Thanks for posting the pics up. The smallest pad I would run on it is 7 inch. If you want to run 6 1/2 inch pads your going to need a 6 inch plate or else your running a huge risk of the plate getting into something and doing damage to the vehicle your working on. Something to keep in mind when ordering a plate is to make sure your getting one for a rotary rather than a DA because they are different.
