Lake Country HDO Foam Pads

[Eldorado2k]

Another thing I can't help but notice: This new Lake Country Microfiber pad is white. That's great. The Griots Boss Microfiber pad is black... I dunno about you, but why would I want a microfiber pad to be black instead of white? Wouldn't white be much better, that way you can easily see how much residue has accumulated in the pad and gauge if it's time to switch to another pad? Don't the black fibers prevent the user from being able to really tell if the pad is 100% clean?

Makes me want to choose these microfiber pads.

Just like choosing a black colored microfiber for any paint duties, why would you want a black towel if you can't even see if it's accidentally gotten soiled during use. Or am I wrong?

I would think it would be easier to see how clean a black MF pad is than a white MF one. Most polishes and spent CC would be whitish in color.

Shouldn't really matter as you shoild be cleaning your pad often anyways.

Absolutely agree. Although I am not a fan of MF pad as I preferred wool. Having said that, I dont understand the reason of using a black mf in a pad too. Perhaps its raw material limitation or some other reason.

Whites good for seeing paint transfer but I like the black to see the built up polish, it's easy to see on the black pads imo.

Pettiness knows no bounds. Here is what it really says :

I just realized they've made these smaller than before... 5.5"&6.5" instead of 6"&7"
Man, I'm glad I was able to buy a good batch of the old full size HD Orbitals :)

How does these stack compared to Rupes foam pads. I love Rupes white and yellow and i compound with wool and microfiber so i need something between them and Rupes green/blue are not my favourites. Blue hdo is close to green Rupes and orange is like yellow?

The HDO foams are pretty mild, try the BnS Low Pro Green, Orange or Meguiars Maroon DFC5 instead.

[Joel1979]

Not as mild as yellow Rupes? How about uro-tech maroon? I might try Meguairs Maroon how do you stack it compared to Rupes?

Meguiars maroon is one of the best foam pads on the market.

[Joel1979]

No 3" though :/

[RZJZA80]

Any reason to use these instead of BOSS pads?

[Joel1979]

I cant get Boss pads from Europe if you meant me?

[RZJZA80]

I mean in general. BOSS pads are very good, so any reason to even try these over BOSS pads?
