New pad standard?

[AleroGuy]

Ok, I bought a PC and CMA pads in 2004. I only detail the cars about 2-3 times a year. My old 6 inch, white CMA pad is dying (white velcro backing peeling off) and I went to buy a new one from autopia and find that they are no longer sold here. I went to properautocare.com and find that they now sell 6.5 inch pads.



What is the 'new' pad standard for using Klasse AIO with my PC?



Thanks in advance for the help.

This blue Sonus DAS pad (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-daspad-bl.html) says it's good for AIO. Might also try the SFX-3: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-sfx-3fp.html . I'm not sure if you are saying that you want a 6" pad rather than a 7" (DAS) or 6.5" (SFX).

Yes, I want to stick with 6 inch pads.

properautocare.com suggests buying the Green lake country pad. They said it is their best pad for one-step products, including AIO. However, I think its 7.5"....

6" and 6.5" are pretty much all the same. The 7.5" is contoured so you have different angles to polish at. White < Green < Orange if you go by the LC pads as far as aggressiveness. I've used all three and if your paint isn't in bad shape then the white will do the job with less cutting power = safer for your paint. Honestly though all three pads used on a DA won't do any type of damage unless your just plain careless. But as a rule of thumb, always go less aggressive and if your not getting the shine/reflection you want step up to the more aggressive pad.
