I have a random orbital with 6inch velcro backing plate and am looking at some lake country pads for it. They say to use the 7.5 inch ones with that size backing plate to reduce risk of marring with the machine itself. What pads work well with a RO if any? It is the Griots Garage new model and Im not spending the money on a different one since this is easy to use and retard proof.

I will be using one with Optimum Compund II, one withPolish II, and then one to apply Griots 1 step sealant which is a sealant and very very mild polish mixed with it. I dont need to cut with 2 different pads and one polish, not that technical on paint that has dents and dings and primer deep scratches, just want an improvement. Need to keep it on the cheap, no 30 dollar a piece pads as I'm a broke *** college kid. I know Built Hatch uses the Optimum line a lot so hoping he chimes in, he has been a great help to me in the past and cant show my appreciation enough for that.

Need to get it cleaned up as the rex is going in for an alignment soon at the dealership it was bought from and half the mechanics always offer to buy it and compliment on the OEM paint, so I'm an attention *****.

Thanks fellas!

 

the most preferred pads out of all are the ccs pads, the ones with the little dimples on them. these seem to work best with a ro or da. ive had very good luck with the menzerna stuff and the ccs pads with my pc.
