I hear alot of good talk about Lake country nowadays.
I was about to purchase the propels but I'm now reconsidering.
Any thoughts on which pads ( propel or Lake country) will be more effective using the SSR line of polishes?
Thanx. | |

I find the LC pads to have the highest quality construction.

I am very happy with my set of pads, and if you get them from Patrick he is a really great guy to deal with too. Only thing is SSR1 stained my green propel pad, but it is my understanding that SSR1 will stain just about anything, so it is kind of a moot point. I guess my point is I have the SSR's and Propel pads and really like the combo. I dont think you will see a significant difference between the results if you are using propel or LC pads if you are going to be using the SSR's with them both. | |

I have the Propels and they're great, in terms of price and everything else.
I've heard people complaining about the LC's coming apart, never had this with my Propel ones though.

Is that why they look identical right down to how the velcro is applied, the "hole" in the middle, the exact shape of the edges, and each color pad matches and corresponds?
Maybe I'm wrong but I see way too many similarities. I'm not sure who Excel gets their pads from nor Sonus. Just saying they look A LOT alike.
