Orbital Polisher Newbie
dansmith180:
I think the problem is the face on those pads will be 6" but the backing part is 5". Same with the Rupes pads as they're a cone shape so a 6" pad has a 5" backing and the 7" has a 6" backing.
The 180mm rupes pads should be fine but i would look at the Lake Country 6.5" pads as they're more similar to what you've purchased and there's more to choose from.
Sorry I only just replied, although you tagged me I wasn't notified I just happened to look

@dansmith180 i now have Rupes UHS and Sonax profiline perfect finish.
Just not sure on what Lake Country pads to get.
I'm also looking for a new wax i've been using dodo juice supernatural wax. Thinking maybe a liquid that i can apply with the polisher?

I would use a yellow one with the UHS and a black one with the Sonax. Wax wise it depends what you want,, if you're after gloss then machine applicated sealants such as Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant and Chemical guys Blacklight are fantastic. If you're after longevity however they're not great really, I would stick with Bilt Hamber speed wax or any Collinite wax
