what are some good pads for pc?

[m3 in estoril]

Well these past 3 months ive been detailing like crazy and the sonus pads are on their last breath.



I was just wondering what are some other good brands to get? I was thinking of probably get sonus das kit again.



Lake country? How well does compare to sonus pads? Durability?

If you liked the Sonus pads, the Propel pads look like a very attractive alternative. If not, Megs or the flat LC pads have worked well for me too.



Good luck, let us know what you decide and how the new pads perform.

I really like the Propel pads, I think for the $$$ they are hard to beat. They are very similar to the Sonus DAS pads, so if you want to try something new the 7.5" LC pads are pretty nice. It seems like they are better constructed than the 6/6.5" LC pads and the Velcro may hold up longer. I`ve got 4 of them (2 orange and 2 white) I picked up at a vendor`s sale but haven`t used yet. I was, however, impressed with their sturdy construction. I bought mine at SMP, he doesn`t have a price listed but if you call or e-mail he`ll give you a quote:

Here is another source that has pictures (notice the recessed area where the backing plate fits):

Like Mike (RedondoV6), I`ve also had very good luck with the Meg`s and 6/6.5" flat LC pads. Pick up "one or two" different pads "here and there" and eventually you`ll find a pad that best suits your needs.

I also prefer the Propel pads. They are cheaper than the others, and they work as good as any.

Plus, the service at ExcelDetail is excellent.
