Ok I am dire need of new pads for my PC. I currently have the following polishes, dacp, megs #9, S100 SEC, and Klasse AIO



I have some moderate imperfections/swirls in my pearl white subaru legacy, that I think I caused lol



I was going to go with DACP, followed by #9 than AIO and topped with Klasse SG



So what pads should I purchase and also if anyone has anyone polish recommendations versus what I have I'm open to suggestions



Also if the #9 step is a waste let me know



Thanx

Honestly, I love the LC Flat Pad. I also like the LC CCS pads.



I've never used Meguiars polishes, so I can't comment on those. But those LC pads are top notch.
 
thanks. I was thinking about the LC so what colors for the polishes? Also I think I'll be picking up so polycharger since its on sale over at AG
 
ok guys need some opinions on these steps/combos



I was going to start with the dacp and an LC 6.5 Yellow Pad, than the #9 with the LC 6.5 Orange Pad and than the AIO with a LC 6.5 white and I might grab a grey pad to apply the SG. Plus I grab another white pad for my s100 SEC.



What do you guys think, I'll probably order when I wake up in the morning

Personally, I wouldnt put a 6"+ pad on a PC, grab some of the LC CCS Pads from Danase, they are 5", and work great.



Use an Orange or Green with DACP then follow with a white and a finish polish.

well the backing plate that came with my pc is 6".... what is the downfall of the 6"+ pad besides size?

the smaller the pad the more cut

so it will take you longer to remove the defects with the larger pads

I wouldnt say its a downfall, just a personal preference. You have flexible BP right? Not the BP that came in the box?



In my experience the PC bogs and fights too hard to spin larger pads. I've only had success with 5" and smaller pads, 4" are the only way I can correct easily with the PC. I have 4", 5", 6", 6.5", 7.5", and 8", and have tried the 6/6.5's.



Some swear by the 6" .
 
ok i guess ill go with 5 inch pads and a new backing plate . so what pads should i go with? and does dacp, #9 and than aio sound good or would the #9 be a waste of time thanx for all the help guys.

I dont mean to talk you out of the 6 inch, if you already have a good BP, you might want to stay with it, just IME, it takes a bit longer to work with.



As long as they are LC, all the colors are pretty much the same. I dont know anything about #9, but DACP, Finish Polish, AIO, SG is a good plan.

my bp is a porter cable brand bc it came with it when i bought it a few years ago

Uhh, If it looks like what came with my PC 7424, you definitely want a new one. Does it have velcro?



If you go through Danase, there is a Forum Discount.
 
yeah it is the bp that came with my pc but the velcro still sticks great, also my counterweight says use with 6 inch pad only so do i need a new counterweight too?

No they are sized for sandpaper and 6" is a as good as it gets for detailing
