Default Quick Recommendation on Pad size

What size of CCS pad should I purchase now that DD has their Memorial discount? Any pros and cons?

Thanks

what machine are we talking here? if its for a pc i'd say no bigger than 5.5in, although 4in would be ideal for optimal correction. for a rotary, i'd rather let a veteran detailer chime in.

PC . Mainly detailing work on my Miata, S2k, and an occasional big 4door here and there.

5.5" is what I reccomend. I started out using the 6.5" ones, but the more I used the 5.5" the better I liked them. They also have a lower profile, which I like also. I do have a couple white 4" pads, need to get more!!

4" for spot polishing and trouble spots

5.5" or 6.5" for general polishing. I'm not that particular. The 6.5" makes for quick work on the larger panels.
