LC HydroTech pads and PB`s polishes

**Mr. Clean** · 08-28-2010, 12:31 PM

Anyone yet tried the HydroTech pads with PB`s polishes. Specifically interested in the PwS and PP and pad combos that work well in one-step, light correction situations.

Edit to add: Also interested in the crimson pad for working with glazes such as WD and BH.

No love for the HydroTech pads?

We were sent the prototypes of these and did not have a lot of luck

What kind of problems did you have? Did you speak with the Lake Country folks about the problems? Do you know of any changes between the prototype and the production pads?

didn`t really pursue the matter as I love my VC pads and the results I get

Oh well. I`ll let you have all the VC pads. Got some, never really cared for `em. I`m of the flat pad persuasion.

I like flat pads and had been looking at Steve`s VC pads for the Flex. They are flat. I plan to give them a try soon. My other plan is get a second Flex backing plate and do the circumcision trick.

How can they be variable contact and flat? If that is the case, I`ve missed something.

I really consider the gimmicks on all the patterns (ccs, hexlogic, compressor, criss-cross, image of a Mary, etc). I have read they mean little to a D/A. From what I have seen they are a flat when compressed near the center. I will be evaluating them and already have a plan B (trim the flex backing plate) to use 5.5in flat flat pads.
