Pad Comparison

[Red Jewel]

Hi Folks ,

I am going to make an order shortly and help me with a pad choice if ya will.
I use RO polishers ,Maguars and PC...I have pretty much always used L/C CCS pads , thats what I cut my teeth on.When I need to cut a little more I have used a 3 3/4 backing plate and 4 inch CCS.
I am considering getting a 3 inch backing plate and 3 inch Hydro-Tech pads for a little more muscle when I need it...would you folks draw a comparison for me on CCSvs Hydro-tech...in the same flavor...for comparison , lets use Orange.Please feel free to comment on polishes to if you like ...diminishing or non...if needed I will look in my cabinet and list my products...thanks much , really appreciate your recommendations
RJ.

To the best if my knowledge, they don`t make 3" CCS pads - just HT. If you get the 3" HTs, make sure you get the low profile, they work much better with a DA, I use them all the time.

Yeah , my bad...thought of that after I submitted the thread..however I did want to just draw a comparison between the 3 inch HT and a 4CCS..I would think that the smaller backing plate and 3 inch pad could certainly cut a little more ??

Both 3" and 4" pads spin fine if they are low profile. I would go more by the area you are working on for the pad size.

As an aside, the best 4" pads IMHO are the CG`s self-centering pads made by BnS. I love those pads, they are very low profile, as the backing plate countersinks into the pad. I`m not sure why the don`t make more pads this style I. various sizes because they really work well on a DA.

How much more cut do you need? Lake Country makes the thin wool pads in a 3 1/4 inch size that absolutely rips.

Who has these low profile 3" pads? I only see them in the 5 1/2" size.
