I have always used 6.5" pads on the PC when removing swirls. One day last year I tried a 4" pad on the PC for a spot job and was amazed at how the smaller pad removed swirls much quicker and broke down the compounds much easier/faster. I have been doing complete cars now starting with the 4" pad for the majority of swirl removal then stepping to the 6.5" for speed.
Now with the UDM coming with the 4.75" backing plate I am thinking of stepping down to 6" pads. for both the UDM and PC. I figured the smaller pad will work quicker based on my experiences on the 4" pads.
My question is what size pads do you use and why? Is a 6.5" pad hindering the action of the PC? Anybody else do a complete car with a 4" pad?
