LC CCS OEM and HG pad differences?

Por2geezSupra · 04-08-08, 12:15

Hey guys, im wondering if you could tell me if theres any huge differences between the LC CCS oem pads and the LC CCS HG pads? Ive heard that the orange oem pad feels stiff, and the orange high gloss one feels better and has more play. Is there any other differences? I was thinking of getting 1 orange CCS HG, then 2 white oem CCS and 2 black oem ccs pads? a 2pack of the oem ccs pads is $12 and one HG pad is $10. Should i get all hg pads?

The orange pads soften up after some use. I like the thinner OEM pads.

So you think the orange oem pads are fine? Ive heard of people soaking them in hot water and turning on the pc to dry them out and that helped soften them. Is it necessary to use a conditioner on the pads before applying product for better lubrication?

Use conditioner or QD to soften them a bit. After a couple washings you'll notice the difference.

Other than the fact that I've had a few problems with the velcro seperating on some of them, I really like proper auto care's line of LC pads. I kinda like the additional thickness. It helps to be an additional heat sink, and I'm always paranoid of getting foam pads too hot. That and the fact that my new rotary transmits alot of heat to the backing plate makes me even more appreciative of the thicker pads.

do you have a link to the proper auto care ones? These are the oem ones im talking about: OEM-Style, CCS Technology, 6.5 inch Foam Pads

I'm assuming PC usage. If you are using a rotary then thicker pads are always better but I 've never been able to use an orange pad with the rotary. I prefer the german green pad.

yea ill be using a pc. So the LC oem pads are fine to use with a pc, just use conditioner to soften up a bit and ill be good?

so would you guys shell out the extra cash to get the ccs pads on autogeek rather then getting the oem ccs pads from properautocare?

For the pc get the lowest priced ones with the right velcro.
