    Have PC now need Pads

    I would like to order my pads and polish/wax etc from the same place (premiumautocare.com).

    I have the 7424 PC and it came with the 6 inch hook and loop backing pad #18002. It is a contoured backing plate and I would like to use it in lieu of buying a diffrent backing plate. I want the DACP that the premium autocare site has and some of their other products, but I`m wondering what kind of pads would work best with my 6inch backing plate. I like the 7.5 inch CMA pads but I had rather order all my stuff from Premiumautocare if possible.

    any ideas?

    Slightly off topic, but not entirely.
    First off, I have the 5" Meg`s backing plate and use 6.5" pads with good results.
    My point is, wouldn`t the 7.5" pads be the ideal pad for those with the 6" backing plate?
    I had always had some concern with clearance using 6.5" pads with the 6" plate, but the 7.5" pads should have plenty of pad outside of the backing plate.
    I also noticed that they were machine washable.

    I have been using the 7424 with a 6" backing plate and 6" inch pads. I have only used the PC once and it worked well. Is there any advantage to using a bigger pad?

    Charles, I use the 7.5 LC pads with my 6" plate. No problems experienced.

    The 7.5" LC Curved Edge pads (a.k.a. "Advanced" pads at PAC and CMA) are my favorites. I use them with a 6" backing plate and counterweight. The 7.5" LC`s have a recessed pocket to enclose the edges of the backing plate. It`s a very safe solution. Here is a pic that I posted on a previous thread -

    AWD330 your post is what made me want the 7.5`s. I just got off the Phone with Dwayne and a set of three is on the way to my house.

    You guys are great here ... thanks for the help.

    Wow, I feel like Mikey from the old Life cereal commercial. Anyone here old enough to remember that one? "Let`s give it to Mikey. He won`t eat it. He hates everything. <pause> He likes it! Hey Mikey!"

    Why do the CMA pads @ PAC and Autogeek have holes in the middle? Won`t accidentally applying too much pressure expose the velcro to the paint surface?

    I just bought a Porter Cable 7336sp Dual Action. I only ask because the photos on the websites show a hole through the middle of the CMA pads.
