Porter cable pads
Hello,
I bought the PC 7424 with the white pad. I'm thinking that I will need more than one of these in my lifetime. So what kind of pad and backing plate do you recomend and why? Also, do I really have to buy the counter weight to match the pad size even though they are only about 4 bucks? And last question is for any of you in the houston area - Do you know were to buy any of this stuff locally?
Thanks in advance,
BD.

match the counter weight to the pad size for best results .. never used one mismatched, so I can't comment on it .. more of a fell versus function thing, I believe.
I buy all my pads online from Rick at www.autodetailingsolutions.com
there are several places in Houston that sell them .. but I find it easier to buy online ..
go to Meguiar's website, and look on the link for wholsale suppliers in your area .. several body shops around Houston will carry the pads .. not sure about the backing plates or the counterweights.
