CCS vs Flat pads!

**93fox** · 02-09-2011, 10:39 PM

i am currently going to buy some LC pads and was wondering if theres a difference between the CCS and Flat pads?? for those of you that have used both witch ones do you prefer? do the CCS do a better job than the flat at certain things or can good results be achieved with both?

I favor the flat pads over ccs pads. Like the hydro pads even better.

though this has been covered many times, i prefer flat pads...

I also prefer the flat and HT pads over the CCS! But the CCS do work fine...just a personal preference!

HT pads 1st pick
Flat over ccs

Im glad to read the comments, as an amateur and home user i'd like to hear which work best, reduce steps and provide the great look I see in many post. those Hydro pads look like one maybe two steps to a finished product, other pads make it sounds like its a three step process

Not really.. depends on the paint your working on and the condition. Most pads will work, but some will finish better. I believe the polish is more important than the pad..not saying that the pad is not, but imo it's secondary.

Have you tried the 3M waffle pads? Great on a rotary.
