The first thing you will notice is there are no exclamation points in my thread title! Why?
I generally try to post about new products as we bring them into the store. Some products are so good at their intended roles that I prefer a softer `launch` to avoid the type of hysteria and pandemonium that could tear the internet, itself, apart! Constant Pressure Hi-Gloss Pads, by Lake Country, are such products that are better served in a gentle manner. I like the internet the way it is, and I do not need forum members acting like teenage girls at a Beatles concert circa 1964. While your paint may not know the difference, this isn`t the Ed Sullivan Show!
We have had Hi-Gloss Pads at Autopia-CarCare for a little while now, so I suppose it is okay for me to `let the cat out of the bag`.

Hi-Gloss Pads have three distinct features that separate them from standard foam pads.
Instant Rebound Foam- These are duo-foam pads that feature a layer of blue “Instant Rebound Foam”. This soft, highly-compressible foam instantly returns to its original shape. This allows the foam to help disperse any off-axis angle of the pad, keeping the pad flatter to the paint. Ideal for beginners or complex body curves.
Back-Cut Backing Material- The backing material is slightly smaller than the pad to make centering an appropriate sized backing plate easy. The back of the cut is then `back-cut` to provide a margin of safety and prevent interference.
Beveled or Rolled Polishing Edge- The face of the pad features a rolled edge. This reduces the chance of holograms when using a rotary polish (because there is not sharp edge that digs in) as well. This edge is `tuned` to the size of the backing plate, so all of the force applied to the pad is transferred to the polishing area of the pad.
Ultimately, Hi-Gloss pads are like going to the custom pad store and clicking on every option in the book. Navigation? Check. DSG-Dual Clutch Transmission? Check. Leather Seating? Check. The end result is a premium grade pad that has several distinct advantages over standard pad offerings.

The Hi-Gloss Pads are currently available in a wide range of standard polishing foams with the hi-tech CCS pad face in 6.5 inch, 5.5 inch, and 4 inch pad sizes. Check out our wide range of Polishing Pads at Autopia-CarCare.com (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/lake-country-pads.html).
Please with hold your excitement! While these pads are ideal for new polishers with a DA and even better on a rotary, we don`t need the internet to break!
