Rotary usage with small pads?

I just got the new 3in gloss-it backing plate and pads to go with it. I really like these products, but i am not entirely used to polishing w/ such small pads. I know that i need to kick up the speed faster than normal to achieve a good cut, but i don't know exactly how much faster i should push it.



Depending on the product, i usually don't go over 1700rpm with a 6-7 inch pad.



Any advice on a good small pad polishing speed and technique to get good correction?
 
I don't increase RPM's with small pads. Remember that any downforce you apply is spread across a much smaller surface area when you are using small pads. I use em just like any other size. They can be a bit more unstable, but other than that, not much different.
