Thats true talent. anyhow, In buying pads i just wanted to know if anyone knows the difference between these two items

I would like to say that it doesn't come with a backing plate.

Our base pc's dont have anything but a pc pad that is glued on to a backing plate you will not be able to use it with anything else.

The right one is for your PC7424 and the one on the left is for rotary polisher.
And make sure it's 5" backing plate or no larger than 6" (You getting the 6.5" pads right?)
