I have been using the DAS pads since I caught the detailing bug back in June 07. I recently received my order of the Lake Country CCS 6.5" Pads, so I decided to do a close comparison between the two brands by touch and by putting them to use with my UDM using SFX 2 and 3. What I found is that the DAS pads are pretty much in between the LC pads in terms of abrasiveness. This is great because having both brands gives you a very wide selection to work with. The only pad I did not test was the LC green pad, which the chart in the LC website puts it in between the white and orange pad. My hunch is that in relation to the DAS pads, it falls somewhere between the LC white pad and the DAS orange pad. In "The Detailing handbook" (Foam Pad Chart) they equate the DAS orange pad to the LC orange pad and the DAS green pad to the LC white pad, which I did not find to be the case. Here is a chart I made.

Dying to. I will when I get them. Right now I am going to be using the LC pads for a while since I just got them, but the Edge pads are next on my list.

So how do you like the pad design/quality between the DAS and LC pads?

They are both very high quality. I have never had any problems with the DAS Pads. The design, LC takes the price, those pads look really fancy.
