I'm getting ready to place my spring order for detail supplies...have to buy new pads for the rotary and orbital....
For the orbital...I was looking at Troys store front and the lake country look like a good pads...I have to use the 5.5 for my De Walt orbital...I'm also trying to give Troy the biz for putting up with me
Any feed back on those and or other pads that can be recommended?
The ones that I've been using are Megs knock off...good but I can go threw them pretty quick
Lake Country Pads
Lake Country buffing pads is at the top of their game! If you know anything about foam polishing pads, you’re no doubt familiar with this company. They’ve been designing and manufacturing polisher accessories since 1977 and we’d be willing to bet they know a thing or two about car care. In fact, we’re so confident in their expertise, Max enlisted their help to design pads for Palm Beach Motoring Accessories.
I like the LC pads better than the Megs pad. I too, feel like they are short lived. I bought a bunch of Edge pads about a year back and haven't purchased a pad since. I'm probably behind the times if they've changed in any way since that time.

I'm using Edge pads for my rotary and that's what I plan to stay with

Highly recommended! (4-pack is a better value.....)
Can't go wrong with Lake Country CCS pads and if you have a problem just call them and they will help you out.

I use and love the LC pads. They have never let me down and are very durable.

I like the LC 5.5 flat pads. I CANNOT stand the CCS pads. You would think LC and/or vendors would catch wind of all the bad reviews and bring back. re-stock the flat pads.

I like the 5.5 flat pads also, but I also like the CCS. Why would you say that you don't like the CCS pads?

In my opinion and experience, the little "pockets" hold too much junk. example: Caked polish. It then leaves pig tails across the paint, thus leaving the finish less than desired. I just have no luck with them.
User preference I guess.....

I really like the variety of aggressiveness and size that the LC pads come in. I think one can get good results with just about any manufactures pads though and I like to have some from a few manufactures to chose from when you get those tricky paints.

I've always used LC but prefer larger pads that can go on the rotary too. The larger pads also come with a pre-formed back, which has never failed and is easy to center. I've used mainly the VC and CCS pads.
The VC are my favorite, but some people find they splatter a bit more than a flat pad. I've not had any issues with the CCS, even though I've seen some of the pig tails, they have not been an issue and also use them as a sign that it's time to check the pad for product build up or dirt.

I would suspect they would say you are not cleaning your pads enough. Mike Phillips was recommending it after just a few panels to keep the pad clean since dried polish and whatever is being removed from the paint (including crud) is collecting on the pad.
J/K of course. They aren't as popular as they are for nothing.
