Re: 8mm/15mm/21mm throw - first timer

It looks like the actual face of those pads will probably measure larger than 5", but yes, as you mentioned for a beginner to reach most areas of the car, you will be more than fine. We actually used to use 7" diameter pads on a 8mm throw D/A for years. However, our old G110v2 Dual Action Polisher used to be able to switch to a small backing plate for small pads. I am bringing this up again because at some point you will likely want smaller pads for smaller areas.

Yeah i think the face is 5.5" or 6" but the back is 5". I don't think this particular DA can switch backing plates which is a little bit annoying, but i guess you can't have everything in life. There are a couple other options for DAs but i can't find many reviews unlike this one. These are 'supposedly' not far from the Rupes and i think 12mm should be ok for a beginner.

Thanks!
