Good luck.
On 1badstx's urging I used a Meg 6.5" soft buff yellow pad today with M105 on a G110 and it sucked hard. The original backing plate that came with my G110 is 4¾".
The outer ½" edge of the pad dries out faster than the rest of the pad and slings dust like crazy.(I believe because it is not in contact with the surface due to small backing plate).
Smaller pads dont dust up like the 6.5 pads.
I dont think meguiars makes smaller pads.
Bigger plates and pads spin slower with the G110.
I hate dust.

How are you priming the pad? QD or 105? And how much are you putting on the pad

I'm not positive on this but I would think part of the reason a larger pad would dryout on the outside area is that it's spinning faster (sorta) than the inside of the pad. Similar idea to that of larger wheels throwing off a speedo. The rpms may be the same but there is more area being covered on the outside. I think priming the pad with the product becomes more important here as well as spriting with water to reactivate it and keep it workable. This is a theory and not a fact. I could be way off in which case disregard everthing I just said.

Im going to try either Optimum Hyper Compound or Optimum Hyper Compound in the place of M105.
Here is something I noticed today as I was changing backing plates on the G110.

There's nothing wrong with using smaller pads i was just pointing out that the meg's pads work fine with the g110.. after that's what it was designed for
