DA Machine pads.

After a little bit of advice.

 

I currently have a DAS-6 Dual Action Polisher and it came with a set of 6 inch pads. I've just been browsing the cleanyourcar website and they list a 4 inch pads. Can i use a 4 inch pad to do the whole car? Or are they designed just for tight areas?

 

I'd imagine that using the 6 inch pad would cover more area and get the car done quicker.

 

Current ones i'm using are Sonus pads with Sonus products.

you thought right imo

 

sure trig/simonez etc will give there (good) 2p worth

id stick with the 6" pads. thats what i use. 4" would require a smaller backing plate, and as you say, there just for more tricky areas, but tbh from experience i find 6" does nearly everything

Thanks for the replies guys. The machine i have came with backing plates for both sizes.

 

How easy do you find it to use the 6inch pad on a escort? I struggle slightly with the bulges in the bonnet?

Tez is spot (geddit) on.

 

Spot pads are for tight areas where a normal pad wont get in. Chances are you wont need to use spot pads, but it is nice to have them in your arsenal.

Yeah, i priced them up and for a set of 4 was about £25. Thought they may be handy as i already have the smaller backing plate.
