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.
