Help me understand Lake Country Pads

[Irkie500]

I will finally be foraying into the world of a long throw DA this spring and need an entire pad setup to go along with the Griots G21. I have used the lake country pads in the past with my PC, I believe they were the CCS pads, and liked them quite a bit. Just looking around though they have about 4-5 different types of pads, and then all the colors to go along with that.

Is there a type of pad that is better than the others, or a type that you guys prefer over anything else? Me personally love microfiber pads, they cut and finish well and are very easy to maintain. I was thinking about going with Thin Pro or Hybrid pads for the G21 and some 3" flat pads for the PC.

Are there any particular colors I should stock more of over the others? To begin with I figure most customers if they opt for paint correction will be doing 1 step jobs.

Thanks!

You could always invest in the Griot`s boss pads as they were designed for the boss.

Do you have the BOSS 5" Backing Plate (Convert Your G21 To Use Our 5" Pad System)?

Lake Country has three Lake Country 6 Inch HD Orbital Foam Pads

Lake Country 5 1/2 Inch Thin Foamed Wool Pad (2-Pack) work sweet with Megs M205

Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System 5.5 Inch also work real nice.

What are you asking about in particular?

Haven`t tried the new Griot`s pads yet, but I have used the LC pads designed for long-throw polishers:Lake Country HD Orbital Foam Pads, rupes foam pads In my limited experience, they have been both effective and quite durable. Worth a look.

I dont have the polisher or the smaller backing plate just yet, going to be getting that at the end of the month. What I am inquiring about are the differences in the type of pads lake country offers. Foam vs hybrid vs microfiber etc. Excluding pad size right now I just wanted some general information on which type might suit me best.

Was thinking about going with the HD Speed, HD Adapt and HD Polish, but that may change with some more research.

You may want to take a look at the new Buff & Shine Lo Pro pads designed specifically for long throw polishers. They have been excellent with my G15 and HD polishes.

If you have the Boss polisher
Thin pros will give it the best balance
With that said I purchased the Low Pros as they looked like they could take more abuse then the Boss pads I`ve retired.
The imbalance is identical between the Boss pads at speed 4 from what I can tell...speed 6 they`re a notch worse in free air spin
