    Lake Country 3 Inch Flat Pads 6 Pack - Your Choice!


    The pad I used was the white foam polishing pad not the red waxing pad and the reason why is I wanted/needed a little more stoutness in the foam formula to press into the jar of wax.

    As for performance the polishing pad is still soft so it's not like it's going to abrade the paint when I apply the wax plus wax is a lubricant.


    Thanks for the questions.

    Yes. It has a mild build small block Chevy engine and sounds pretty good when she fires up and going down the road.
