whats the advantages and disadvantages of the 5.5 vs. 6.5? whats the difference in flat and CCS?

[NJ04HOE]

I hope someone knows cuz I was wondering the same thing.

[Timmy]

5.5 puts more pressure on a smaller area. it takes longer to do, but the results are better.

[road1will]

5.5 puts more pressure on a smaller area. it takes longer to do, but the results are better.

What about flat vs css?

[Timmy]

ccs slows the rate of product absorbtion in the pad, thus preventing waste. it has little "pockets" in it to collect the polish

[road1will]

So is CCS superior? is there any advantage to flat?

[Timmy]

So is CCS superior? is there any advantage to flat?

from what i've read, yes. ccs is superior. it's all really personal preference. either will be fine.

[road1will]

cool, guess ill go that route...

[Timmy]

cool, guess ill go that route...

you won't be disappointed. and if you are, i'll buy it from you.

[road1will]

you won't be disappointed. and if you are, i'll buy it from you.

ill see it to you for $300 ;)

[Timmy]

ill see it to you for $300 ;)

[dec322]

Those are pretty good prices. I wanted something "out of this world" but those are good. Autogeek sells the optimum for $229 and chris is selling it for $190 shipped....that is good stuff.

I might have to start using glimmerglass instead of autogeek.

[NJ04HOE]

Anybody in the GB get their PC yet?? If so how'd it turn out?
