Anyone tried velcro plate from...

Top of the Line



From using the search, I've learned a lot about what people like to use with the PC. I'm tempted to buy the kit from CMA, but I don't want to spend $60 for some stuff that I won't use (lambswool pad and bonnets).



That being said, I couldn't find anyone that has bought/used the plate from Top of the line.



Any insights?



Overall I have been pleased with transactions in the past with Top of the Line. They are very quick to ship. They also communicate very well.
 
SoTex:

Since you appear to be looking for a backing plate and pad combo, you might want to check out Meguiar's WDAV99 pad and velcro backing plate package.

It includes two polishing pads, one finishing pad, one velcro backing plate for around $33 plus $5.95 shipping. It is not on their web-site, but if you call them and tell them you want the kit with the backing plate, they will know what you want.

If I were to buy another backing pad (who knows, I might just to compare...) I would get the Meguiar's one that Charles mentioned. You can get it separately too, and the part # is buried somewhere in the thead linked in my sig. :p It's smaller and thinner (therefore probably lighter) than other pads, so it'll probably vibrate less.
 
I don't think it makes a diff except for the size of pad you're using. I have a "small plate" and a "big plate" for my PC. I use whatever plate matches whatever pad. They have no bearing on vibrations from what I can tell. They're just backing plates, nothing more. No reason to get too fancy.

I thought you were one of the people that reported reduced vibration when going from a 6" to 5" (Megs) backing plate? :confused:

mmmm..... don't think so :o



I think I was referring to pad size or counterweights...maybe.



Wouldn't be the first time I contradicted myself :o :headslap
 
Well, I don't recall 100% if it was you either - all the evidence was blown away by that outage that continues to haunt me. :p



All I remember is there was a thread where a few people said that they noticed the vibes going down noticably when they switched to the W64DA pad (using a 6" CW). Charles helpfully weighed his (for a little vibration test I did) and it was 0.5oz lighter than the 5" PC branded pad I have. Seems that lighter is better. :nixweiss
