Default Newbie with a DA polisher, 5" or 6" backing plate.
Common sense would tell me to to go smaller and learn what I'm doing. Agreed??

5" so you have more pad options.

I would get a 5" plate and 5 1/2" pads. Easier to keep the pad spinning with smaller ones.

I agree a 5" backing plate with 5 1/2'' pads make a nice combo.
