Can Lake Country Variable Contact Pads be used with a PC?

**Taubs** · 07-27-2006, 05:41 PM

Looking to obtain some polishing foams in the UK, but one stockist carries only the Lake Country 7.5" Dual density Variable contact pads.

They look to be designed for a rotary buffer rather than a DA

Any ideas whether they can / should be used with a PC?

Are they on a par with the Sonus SFX pads?

You would want the 6.5s for a PC.

Careful because the pads LCM label 6.5" most vendors label 7.5". 6.5" is the backing plat area and the 7.5" is the whole pad diameter.

yes they can, I like using the finishing ones for sealant and wax, they wrap round curvey panels really well!

When I ordered the 7.5"s white LC VC pads from you they say 6.5" on the inside of the pad. I was a bit confused at first, but now I understand.

So to sum it up order the 7.5" LC VC pads and they will fit your standard PC backing plate.

They are an excellent pad and if you check in Danase`s section of the forum you will find a nice discount code.
