G O R G E O U S diagrams !!!!

What can I say except I think I am going to crumple all the diagrams for my paper and throw them in the trash can.

You are a whiz kid with Photoshop now.

Thanks for the compliments regarding the design. I am not worried about the 'diagrams' being stolen or copied, as I have the original PDF files on my computer so it isn't as easy as stealing text and product descriptions!

First - Great job Todd! Secondly, question for you - 6.5" pads on a PCXP - I started my detailing back with a PC and 6.5" LC pads, after switching to 5.5" and 4", I considered 6.5" too big. So, would the new Cyan/Tangerine pads be the exception? is an upgrade to 6" BP required for best performance?

Thanks!

Nice write up Todd!

I am guilty of using smaller backing plates with larger pads, sometimes when I have been polishing for hours I am too lazy to change out the backing plate on the PC!
