Youll get better correction with 4" pads on a porter cable. Plus theyre cheaper. In your case I think you would be alright using IP/orange and then FPII/white.

I dont think those swirls are bad enough that youll need something as strong as M105 and PFW. Although if you do decide to get M105 wait about a week. They reformulated it so it can now be used with a porter cable.

 

hey^ thanks for the advice! i was thinking about getting 4 inch pads for the PC. do you recommend a CCS pad of a flat pad?

 

Most people including myself prefer flat. Although the 4" flat are getting kind of hard to find. Detailers domain used to carry them and now they only have them in black I think.

 

we will have our new pads in shortly I believe we should have them tomorrow.

we just have to put them up on the site.

we have 4/5.5 /6.5 inch

I would probably say go with IP and PO85RD for the finish.

85RD and S2000 are a match made in heaven.

 

If you want to get a good idea of how much pressure you are applying try this trick. Take a marker and put four lines on the backer(not the pad) at 12 o'clock, 3, 6 and 9. You want the pad to be turning. If you apply to much pressure it will stop turning. You can learn much qiucker by watching the lines and seeing how fast they are moving.

I hope this makes sence.

Good luck.
