That's a rather harsh statement to make if you haven't even used them yet. If youâ€â„¢ve compared them to other pads or see flaws that you donâ€â„¢t like then critique them. But using a blanket statement like âہ“they stinkâ€Â� provides no useful information and is unfair to both the manufacturer and other members looking for helpful data on pad selection.
The LC are not bad pads. The white pad you have has been a "basic" polish pad that many members have used for quite some time. The orange pad is the typical orange foam and also works quite well. I can't comment on the LC grey because I haven't used that exact pad, but I don't see why it wouldn't be comparable to any of the other grey finish pads.
Like LSPâ€â„¢s, the choice of pad manufacturer, size, and design pretty much boils down to personal preference and what works best for you. Some members complain about a particular pad falling apart, while others have used the same pad for months w/o any problems.
The only issues I've heard about is the Velcro that some have had problems with (but LC will replace those if needed), and some like the VC design while others don't. I believe the white pad that Autopia sold is a flat pad, not VC like the other two.
I've used a wide variety of pads from various manufacturers and haven't really had issues with any of them. I guess my favorite pad would be the Meg's (polish and finish) and Excel Detail's Propel pads because I personally prefer flat pads. Between the two I now order Propel pads because you canâ€â„¢t beat the price, theyâ€â„¢re a quality pad, and the service from Excel Detail is excellent.
