Rotary buffer: 7" cutting/polishing pads?
I have a rotary buffer that I have used before with a simple foam pad to apply/remove wax on my car, and the Sienna. However, I am looking for some good 7inch foam pads for cutting, polishing etc. I checked the sites in the sticky, however all of them are either 6.5" or 7.5" and I dont want to spend $10/pad and have them not fit.
Also, if I wanted to get a new backing pad, what would you guys suggest? Would it be better to get a new backing pad, and a set of foam pads that I know will fit?
I will be practicing on a dark green hood to get a feel for the buffer.
Thanks in advance.

Rotary = Orbital? If so, you can't really get any scratches out with those, I suppose to you could, but to get a scratch out you do know that you're cutting clear using heat and the orbital doesn't get hot even to cut. But I suppose you could but I wouldn't..

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. Ive been looking at a cyclo polisher(what you have in your avatar correct?) also. Although not cheap, they look awesome and any pad you need is available. Would you recommend it?

Scott, I wish I could afford something like that. I am looking at the ~$150 or under range, and I found a few cyclo's (used of course) for just under that. The 7424 is always an option too. Are there any others you recommend on my budget?
