    I was browsing CMA`s site in which they offer the LC Constant Pressure Pads. The top halve is of a different density than the pad itself. Marketing gimmick or does the *constant pressure* actually does as it states.



    Just curious. All my LC pads have been from the `geek, and it`s the same foam throughout.

    They are nice pads, but IMO it`s a gimmick.

    Their velcro is the very worst I have ever seen. The design works, just try their orange pad vs another orange pad. Much smoother, but I will never order them again. Lost alot of money because I had to throw them away after a couple of washes.:furious::furious::furious:

    ahhhh, I recall now why I did not order from CMA . Back when I was researching pads, the velcro issue was the biggest thing. Since ordering from the geek, I`ve never looked back for another supplier on pads.



    Just short of the smaller 3M pads I order from the UK, and some odd -ends american buffing/sonus pads, the geek is my usual source for LC goods.

    I had almost a dozen of those pads lose their velcro after minimum use. Supposedly they have fixed that problem, though.
    Sage advice from Greg Nichols: "Hey, Supe? When you`re trying to get the air bubble out of your syringe of Opti-Coat, don`t point it at your face, mmmkay?"

    My new green technology pads are still going strong. Definitely a lot smoother and easier to use than my normal pads without the insert
