Whats funny is that it seems like AG is trying to get rid of these pads, but these are MY FAVORITE PADS!!!!

I use them for cutting as I feel they work better than the other pads out there. Personally Im not a big fan of the new CCS pads, I feel they waste product and are too thick. (I know they are made to SAVE product)

Funny..I have the 5" CCS pads and the Low Profiles.... same foam..just a different design...both from LC....both work close to the same...and the 5"s are not much thicker than the low profiles...

Also WG pads are LC made pads.

They are LC pads. Are you pretty rough on stuff when you detail?

I just now saw this Surfer. I appreciate your offer but I got two orange ones with some Menz polishes so I'm set. Thank You though.

Oh mean I love these pads, wish I had more of these...so if any of you don't want them I'd be more then happy to take them off your hands

I find they have wicked cutting power and are versatile because of there size you can do a vehicle and get in all areas I enjoy using the low profile pads. I like the white one, my last white one went in the trash after so much use and abuse

Lauren, are you talking about the regular LC 5.5" pads? I LOVE 'EM! I have a 6.5" as well, but unlike some things in life, I don't think bigger is better when it comes to pads. It works great on the 5" backing plate and doens't flapall over the place.

I love the pads as well. They are what I used with SIP to remove the swirls on my car. They worked better than the regular 6.5" LC orange pad, and also the yellow pad because they don't leave the hazing. They are also easier with cleanup because they aren't so thick.

These are my favorite pads to use. I absolutely hate the LC CCS pads because I feel like im getting no product on the car, it's all going into those stupid dimple things on the pads and the friggin PC can't even spin them. Also, the fact that the LC CCS pads are larger and therefore cover more area and therefore make polishing quicker doesn't seem to be true. From my experience the LC CCS 6.5" pads just end up lifting up on the edges off the paint so in reality, the pad is covering just as much area as the small low profile pads. Those 6.5" LS CCS pads just seem to be a big waste of product.
