On the LC pads with CCS, since I am using the ROB with a 5" plate, which size of pad is more suitable for me? 5.5" or 6.5"?
Also, since its CCS, do I place the polish / wax at those dimpled holes? Or like usual squirt an 'X' on the pads irrespective of the holes??
I have no specific preferences on brand but more importantly the quality of the product as well as the result that product gives.
So I guess the current preferable product would be Duragloss rite?
And the steps would be :
1. DG501
2. DG105
3. Wax such as the Collinites I have??
Or is it that the DG105 is already considered LSP?

DG105 is already considered LSP. The only why you want to top a wax on top of that is because you want a deep warmer look.

Use the smaller pads. ROB are not that strong like RB, so with bigger pads, less aggressive.
Smaller pads also easier to handle.
Use the products sparingly. Dot them on flat surface across, no need X. As it spins will spread, or you can spread them, before you on the machine, this way less chances to fling out....

The swirl is moderate....not light but moderate.
And which LC CCS pad to use along with the product? the White pad?

With both your help, I have established my shopping list for the pads & products to buy.
Gonna be getting it all in one shot.
As for whether white / orange pads, I guess I would have to get both and try it out on my car...it slightly depends on the hardness of the paint rite? Also the swirl is quite a lot....
I am thinking ...
Step 1 : M205 + Orange LC CCS Pad (if holograms...proceed with step 2)
Step 2 : DG501 + White LC CCS Pad
Step 3 : My Collinite Wax + Black LC CCS Pad (plan to skip DG105 since I already have the Collinites. Get DG105 after I finish the Collinites)
What do you all think of my plan?

Sounds good. If ever, you will finish the Colly Wax la..
I would get the DG105 anyway. I didnt read the previous posts page, but there would be a marked difference to your finish between using a wax and a sealant as your LSP. Car color also is a factor.
