OK, going down to finish working on the boat next weekend. As of now, I already own this high speed buffer from harbor frieght....

For the 3M buffing and polishing pads everyone is recommending, they say that I also need a 3M backing pad. However, my polisher came with a backing pad. Do I HAVE/NEED to get the 3M backing pad to work with the 3M pads, or will the 7" backing pad that came with the above mentioned polisher still work?

I just want to make sure. I'm going to buy all of the things I need this weekend before we head back down to New Jersey to finish the boat, and I want to have EVERYTHING I need before hand, so we're not losing time (which we're going to be short on as it is.)

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.
