The different types of foam formulas in the CCS Smart Foam Pad Line

The different types of foam formulas in the CCS Smart Foam Pad Line

Be below can be found here on the Autogeek.net site

CCS Smart Pads

But doesn't copy and paste well directly into vBulletin forums using BB code, so I tweaked the code a little to make it easier to copy and paste into other threads when needed.



Smart Foam Pad Varieties:


Yellow Cutting Foams 6.5 inch
Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange or white pad and a fine polish to refine the paint until it is smooth.




Orange Light Cutting Foam 6.5 inch
Firm, high density foam for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers. It’s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.




Coarse Green Cutting/Polishing Foam 6.5 inch
This foam is of medium density with the ability to level very fine scratches and very light oxidation. Use light swirl removers with this pad.




White Polishing Foam 6.5 inch
Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so its perfect for pre-wax cleaners.




Green Polishing/Finishing Foam 6.5 inch
Use this foam to apply one-step cleaner waxes. It is a balance of polishing and finishing that is perfect for all-in-one product application.




Gray Finishing Foam 6.5 inch
Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes.




Blue Finessing Foam 6.5 inch
This blue foam pad has soft composition for applying glaze, finishing polish, sealants, and liquid waxes. The soft pad has no cut, making it perfect for applying nonabrasive products evenly.




Red Ultrasoft Wax/Sealant Foam 6.5 inch
This soft, imported foam is ideal for applying the final coat of wax or sealant. The foam works especially well when applying liquid waxes or sealants because it is firm enough to keep the majority of the product on the paint, rather than soaking it up. The red foam has no cut or cleaning ability.




Super Soft Gold Jeweling Foam 6.5 inch
The CCS Super Soft Gold Jeweling Pad is made of Lake Country's softest foam. Use the gold pad to apply a very fine polish or glaze as the final step of the polishing process. Jeweling is the term coined for this step because it intensifies gloss and reflectivity, like a jewel. The gold foam pad also works well for wax and sealant application.

Re: The different types of foam formulas in the CCS Smart Foam Pad Line

Thanks Mike! Just wondering, why is the course green foam not available for the 5.5" CCS, and will it ever be? Is the 5.5" ccs foam different than the 6.5" ccs foam?

I don't know the exact reason but it could be a supply and demand issue, that is no demand so no supply.
