Default Yellow Foam Pads?

I just bought a 7424 Porter Cable along with 4 pads. I want to order some Yellow Low Profile Cutting 5.5 Foam Pads. Right now Auto Geek has a good price on a pack of 3 but they charge almost $8 for shipping and handling! Anyone know where I can get some for a good price?

I wouldn't even use yellow foam cutting pads, you will get a lot of hazing with these. Orange light cutting pads with something like Meg's M105 has plenty of cut. Lake Country purple foamed pads also do a better job than the yellow foam and they finish down better too. If you order pads from either of my sites you get a 10% member discount.

My 24 x 10 foot truck needs something for the Fiberglass box part. It's a 2006 and is need of some polishing/waxing. I thought if I go with the yellow, it would help get the Fiberglass back to a glossy finish. What would you suggest?

When you say Purple, are you talking about the Foamed Wool Buffing / Polishing Pads that are on your site? What do you charge for S&H?

I think you would probably get away with just using an orange light cutting pad, the purple foam has a lot more cut. Yes, I was referring to the Purple Foamed pads from my site. If you go to my site and put what you want in the shopping cart it will tell you the shipping charge.

Oh OK. Probably need the Purple one for my boats. They are in bad shape.

Thanks!
