What size pads are you using?
I have a G110 and I'm using the 7" pads. Should I be using the 6.5"? I've been using the 7" pads with success so far but I'm just wondering what advantage (if there is one) would the 6.5" pads have over the 7"

I am using the LC CCS 6.5IN pads on my PC and I got decent results with it but it works the machine pretty hard if you have alot of correction to do.

You won't notice any difference between the 7" and 6.5" pads. If you want to try something different, get the smaller 4" pads. They will give you more cut, and be easier on the machine.

Meg's doesn't

Justin @ obsessivedetail has a 4 inch kit of lc ccs pads

Detailedimage has flat 4 inch lc pads.

I prefer flat pads but that's just me

On my G110 I use 5.5" CCS pads mostly...sometimes I use 4" in tight places and on my wheels. I have a few 6.5 finishing pads I use for applying wax and sealants.

Does your backing plate look like this?

I used the 5.5 Lake pad on the 7424XP, and they seemed to work well. However, I have no other exp with other pad sizes.
