    Size backing pad for PC 7424

    Greetings,

    i need a new velcro backing pad for my Porter Cable 7424 Type 2 random orbital. I'm confused as to whether I need a 5 or 6 inch pad. Also the Menzerna products I used on my last detail are about 8 years old. I'm assuming they are not safe to use?

    thanks

    Either will work. Typically the smaller pads are used for tighter areas. If you are polishing large, flat areas then use larger pads. Smaller, more intricate areas require smaller pads.

    There is likely a practical limit for the upper and lower limit of diameter so hopefully somebody else can weigh in.
