CCS Smart Foam Pad Types and Sizes


CCS stands for Collapsed Cell Structure
CCS Technology is Lake Country’s innovative pad design that saves product by controlling product release onto the work surface. Dozens of dimples in the foam collect excess polish and reserve it until it is needed on the pad’s face (the area that is in contact with the paint). This design prolongs your working time and reduces product waste.


  • CCS Pads work with all DA style polishers.

  • CCS Technology reduces product waste.

  • Hook and loop fasteners make pad changes quick and easy.



Slows rate of polish absorption
As discussed above, the pads are slow to absorb products and therefore the paint benefits from a longer working time. The same is true of liquid waxes and sealants.


Improves operator control
CCS pockets gradually release polish as needed by the operator. Since these areas are not absorbing polish, they serve as little reservoirs until the excess polish is needed.


Prevents pad skipping
CCS pockets reduce surface tension allowing the operator to run pad flat on a working surface. Basically, the CCS pockets break up the smooth surface of the foam to eliminate the sticking and skipping that occurs when two perfectly flat surfaces meet.


Creates less heat
CCS pockets provide several points where the foam is not completely touching the paint. This reduces friction and therefore heat generated between the pad and the paint.


OEM approved
OEM tests confirm CCS pads out-perform convoluted pad designs.




Smart Foam Pad Varieties and Sizes


Yellow Cutting Foams

Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange or white pad and a fine polish to refine the paint until it is smooth.

Sizes Available

4 inch spot repair


Orange Light Cutting Foam

Firm, high density foam for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers. It’s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.

Sizes Available

Coarse Green Cutting/Polishing Foam

This foam is of medium density with the ability to level very fine scratches and very light oxidation. Use light swirl removers with this pad.

Sizes Available
6.5 inch


White Polishing Foam

Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so its perfect for pre-wax cleaners.

Sizes Available
6.5 inch
5.5 inch
4 inch spot repair


Green Polishing/Finishing Foam

Use this foam to apply one-step cleaner waxes. It is a balance of polishing and finishing that is perfect for all-in-one product application.

Sizes Available
6.5 inch
5.5 inch
4 inch spot repair


Gray Finishing Foam

Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes.

Sizes Available
6.5 inch
5.5 inch
4 inch spot repair


Blue Finessing Foam

This blue foam pad has soft composition for applying glaze, finishing polish, sealants, and liquid waxes. The soft pad has no cut, making it perfect for applying nonabrasive products evenly.

Sizes Available
6.5 inch
5.5 inch
4 inch spot repair


Red Ultrasoft Wax/Sealant Foam

This soft, imported foam is ideal for applying the final coat of wax or sealant. The foam works especially well when applying liquid waxes or sealants because it is firm enough to keep the majority of the product on the paint, rather than soaking it up. The red foam has no cut or cleaning ability.

Sizes Available
6.5 inch
5.5 inch
4 inch spot repair


Super Soft Gold Jeweling Foam

The CCS Super Soft Gold Jeweling Pad is made of Lake Country`s softest foam. Use the gold pad to apply a very fine polish or glaze as the final step of the polishing process. Jeweling is the term coined for this step because it intensifies gloss and reflectivity, like a jewel. The gold foam pad also works well for wax and sealant application.

Sizes Available
6.5 inch
