LC CCS Pads

With all the stories about the Edge pads, I think I might return my kit. Luckily I havent used it yet.

I was wondering how everyones experiences are with the LC CCS pads? I was looking at the 6.5" Yellow, Orange, White, and Gray pads.

They will be used on the 7424.

My edge pads are in a box, wish I could return them, but they have been used. The 6.5" lc ccs pads work great. I don't have the yellow, but the green is great for light cutting. I use the grey for applying wax, like it better than by hand.

I've use the Edge 2K pads waved and regular and they work good to me that is. But then I used the Lake Country and they work great too. After using the Lake Country I'll keep using them oh but I got the old style not the new style.

I dont know but I like both pads for different applications. Just me though.

See I cant afford to have the Edge pads fail on me, then Im $100 out. Id rather buy the LC pads, which seem to be just as good, and not have any worries about them failing.

Seems like I jumped on the band wagon a little too quickly buying the Edge pads.

You could also have the issue that my buddy and some other backing plate users have once in awhile when the plate broke or pad seperated causing the PC to gauge the paint...not fun

I guess it comes down to the fact that any pad system that I know of can run the risk damaging the paint due to failure of some kind. Whether the E2K system or the backing pads for LC. I just feel more comfortable with the LC system. As far as the CCS pads, I've used them on three different vehicles now (have used every color except yellow and green) and like them. The little pockets do seem to help work the product a little longer IME. Cutting ability with the orange CCS seems to be on par with its flat twin. I'll keep them in my arsenal!

Very sorry to hear that the very few issues some of which are user error, and we have always made good on have detered you from wanting to use our pads and system. No one has damaged paint, and we have always replaced any and all defective proudcts no questions asked so you woud not be out anything. There are many more problems with people damaging paint with backing plates, and alot of posts about the CCS pads having velcro failures. I would try the system first, and then decide for yourself. If you don't like it, return it to me and I will replace with velcro pads. We make both, single and the double sided too. Alot of people think we only make the snap on system, but we have been making single sided velcro pads for 10 years. We just upgraded the system to the double sided because its better, faster, easier, safer, and more cost effective than velcro or backing plates.
