Hey guys, one of my assistants just completely destroyed all of my ccs pads by washing them in the washing mAchine with what must have been an entire bottle of bleach. I have two clients to do work on tomorrow (Friday) and I really need to buy some new pads in a hurry! Does anyone know a store that would carry quality pads, or at least where I could start looking. I have started lookingfor local detailing centers on the internet and maybe asking them sell me some but I will have to wait until a decent hour to call them. I live in simi valley californa near thousand oaks so if anyone has any idea on where I can get these pads in a hurry I would be extremely grateful. I have placed every other order for car care products that I have ever bought through autogeek, but this time I can't afford 70 dollar next day air shipping. However, I will order a bunch of pads from you guys soon to replace my entire collection of pads.

I would check your yellow pages for a auto body supply store.

:iagree: If you go to Meguiar's website you can look for their dealer locator and check Professional Products. That will give you a list of PBE stores that probably carry their pads.

Cutting = W7207/W7006
Polishing = W8207/W8006
Finishing = W9207/W9006

I ended up getting those three. Now, is there a difference in technique or anything that i should know about? I'm used to the Lake country CCS pads.

No the technique is the same. They are just named/ colored different.
