Re: Ray`s Precision Polishing Kit
If you don`t have a Rupes mini, get one! After my Rupes 15 it is my second most used detailing tool. I would recommend the Rupes pads (skip the green and blue) along with the B&S microfiber cutting pads to make it a great deal. I`m still waiting to get my hands on the new LC microfiber pads. I don`t know why Meg`s discontinued their 3 inch microfiber pads (the 3 inch machine broke?).

Low sales killed the Meg`s pads. The new B&S microfiber pads look and sound nice. The uro-tec`s are supposedly going to be available in smaller sizes as well.

Hands down my favorite on the mini, that`s why they`re in that kit. I love what Lake Country did with those HD Orbital pads. I`m not a fan of thin pads on long throw machines, but the HD Orbital pads are like a mix of the benefits of thin and thick pads. The "dual density design" makes the face of the pads act like a thin pad, while the high density thick foam backing keeps the pad perfectly balanced on the machine so it stays smooth and works like butter on curves. The type of foam is great too. The foam reminds me of the HydroTech pads in the way it can cut and finish, but much more durable as I`ve abused a few pads already (using them for much longer than I would normally use a pad) and haven`t had a single pad shed yet. You can run any of those HD Orbital pads on the Rupes Mini on Speed 1 and won`t be able to bog the machine down...it`s a beautiful thing.

I`ve been enjoying these pads so much that I bought a set of the 6 inch pads to try on the Rupes 15. I`m giving them a test run on black paint this weekend.

Looks like I have some pads to try out on my mini and on the 15 MKII. Like you I don`t like thin pads on the Rupes 15 MKII. Looking forward to your feedback on the larger version of the pads.
Re: Ray`s Precision Polishing Kit
I guess Autopia is not going to carry the LC Force pads. They sound like they would be good pads. Most everything from LC is great. Anyone try the Force pads?
Real reason I wanted to post:
Bob`s I Still Need Stuff Kit:
Griots or LC Pad Washer
Cart for Pad Washer
Pad Washing Solution
(please forward this to my wife). Lol

:bigups The LC HD Orbital Pads are amazing on both my mini and 15 MKII. Played with all three colors on a black Cadillac and the pad fits both machines like a glove. The beveled edge and design make the pad super easy to control...probably the easiest pad to control on this machine. I compared by going back and forth with different pads and the difference was night and day. I felt like I lowered my, dropped a few thousand in suspension upgrades and added stickier, wider tires. It handles on rails now.
