Lake Country Kompressor 7 inch Foam Pads

Even if the purple Kompressor foam pad has more cut and a nicer finishing ability, I'd still use PFW instead. Wool runs much cooler, which is especially important when compounding. The most aggressive foam pad I use is LC white. If I need more aggressiveness than that, I reach for PFW. I can *always* get PFW to finish out better than yellow LC foam, and most of the time better than orange LC foam. And it's always safer than either one.



Darn it... I had just made up my mind to switch over to Meg's Soft Buff 2.0 pads when I read MDRX8's and RyDawg's recommendation of the Kompressors. I have yet to *not* love a product our good Dawg has recommended, so I guess I'll be ordering some Kompressors. I hope they have em in 4" size, too.



Edit: I can't find them in any size other than the seven inchers.
 
fwiw, I recall reading the new v2. Megs pads are using the same foam as the ~uk~ 3m pads.





I've got to do a search on the old reticulated vs non reticulates, preploymer, etc - on pad compositions again to refresh my memory
 
So I guess you're driving a Ford/GM/Chrysler automobile?

aren't these a little big for a PC though? I used a white one and the PC just didn't seem to want to fight with it. I have 1 of each so I need to give it another go.

Yes? Is there a problem with that? I also have a Jap car because all the domestic companies stopped making hatchbacks (except for the Corvette). That was my first non-American car.
 
My Toyota Sequoia was made in Kentucky. My Dodge Charger was made in Ontario, Canada. Hmmm... Kinda makes you scratch your head if you're trying to "buy American".

My mother's Buick was made in Canada and has Chinese wheels and who knows what else of non-domestic origin. Yes, it's confusing. For decades I resisted, and did my best to buy American, but in some market segments, it became impossible. In the past decade the big business propaganda machine has done it's best to convince us that it doesn't matter, it's a world economy, yada yada. I think recent events show that to be a bunch of BS. Our balance of trade is all messed up, we're broke, the Chinese own a trillion dollars+ of our debt and are putting up a space station and sending men to the moon, seems they have plenty of cash...hmmm.



At least detailing products are for the most part made in the US...except for all those MF's, and German polishes, Chinese brushes and expensive waxes from England...wait a minnit! :(



Back to your regularly scheduled thread...
 
I'm making my own out of my dead pads. I shaved like 1/2 inch of the dead parts off to make it "new" again lol. Now to cut slits in there....
 
What if there was a problem with that? I don't know what your problem is, but you could be the most uptight individual on here. I asked that question because it seemed you had the "holier than thou" mentality going on...As if you ONLY bought American made products.



Lighten up.

You know, I was actually impressed that people were buying stuff, and happy that pads (AFAIK) are made in America, and was actually wondering out loud if the foam was too. I'm acutally excited when I can buy something that's made in the good ol' US. How about you lighten up?



Oh, and PS If wanting to buy US-made products and wishing we actually made something here anymore when we're in this clusterf**k that is the world today is "holier-than-thou", than yeah, that's me.
 
*MOST* (if not all) foam comes from Europe. It's then shaped and cut.....or cut and shaped....by manufacturers state side.

They are aggressive and should only be used on rock hard clear at a low 1200 rpm.



Menzerna 203 works AMAZING on this purple pad as it gives some excellent lubrication.
