Title: Replacement Pads
Post by: keith on May 17, 2009, 08:42:49 pm

I have a Porter cable and i have been using the Sonus pads that came with it but as they are getting on i wondered what others are on the market that will fit the PC?

Hi Keith,

3M do the whole range of pads and come highly recommended by us as they are the pads we use on a day to day basis whilst Detailing.

They do the whole range in 150mm and 75mm and all of them fit the PC.

Is there a particular pad you're after, or is it just the whole range you're looking at?

If you're doing a full correction and want to get as close to 100% correction as possible you will need one of each pad... a green compounding pad, a yellow high gloss pad and then a blue ultrafina pad to finish with

i always use the 3m ones too. I have used them all but always come back to the 3m, i just seem to get along with them more so than other brands. They are quiet an investment for occasional use but they will probably last quiet a long time for you.
