I just purchased the PC 7336SP from Lowe's for $89 (used 10% movers coupon) and I'm getting ready to purchase a set of pads.



Which LC Pads do you prefer 6.5" or 7.5"? What would you recommend? Thanks
 
Regardless of manufacturer, I prefer the 6.5" (or 6.75" in the case of Propel) pads. The smaller pads are more in line with the PC's power and in addition, they force you to be more precise in your polishing since you can't cover as large an area at once.
 
6.5", no question. The 7.5" pads are too big for the PC in my book.



You may even want to get a few 4" pads for even more versatility and paint correction ability.
 
I like the 6.5 for wide area polishing / swirl removal - hood, door, etc. and the 7.5 for applying a liquid wax or even AIO. I used the 4in pads last night for the first time to work out a 2 in scratch, great addition to the lineup, as mentioned above. :xyxthumbs
 
6.5 pads with the PC (LC, E2K, and Megs)



7.5 with the Mak D/A (LC VC)



Both with the rotary (LC VC, E2K, Megs)
 
freedom777- I strongly encourage you to pick up a small backing plate and some 4" pads too. You'll really appreciate them if you have any significant marring to remove.
