Lake Country CCS or Hydro-Tech?

[teamerickson]

I'm looking to get some 5.5 pads. I currently use 6.5 and 4" CCS pads. Should I get 5 or 6 CCS pads in various colors, or get a couple of the Hydro-Tech tangerine?

I would go for the CCS since people are having issues with the HT. At least til it is figured out if the pads are the issue.

I have used the hydro-tech pads and have liked them so far. My favorite ones are the cobra cross grove pads. The ccs pads are nice, the org pad feels a little stiff to me

I have both pads. The Hydro-Tech pads work great but they do not last very long and fall apart pretty quick. So I would have to say go with the CCS pads.

Are you using a Rotary or a DA? If a Rotary then get the CCS. If a DA then look at a third option as well. Look at the original Lake Country flat pads. There in there. look harder... They are just like the ccs but are flat. I bought LC: CCS, H-T, and Flat. Will start using them next week so I don't have an opinion of my own yet. I can't wait!!!! I have read great reviews on the HT as far as performance goes.

I had some super tiny black specs on my HT when I got them but I think they were just dusty and had some type of fabric strands or something.... Don't know but I will wash them before using.

Cobra in 5.5? Couldn't find them on the AG website.

PCxp.

A PCxp is a DA (Dual Action). From what I have been told you want to go with the flat pads HT or classic.
The reason being is you want continuous contact for faster correction when using a DA. When using a Rotary it heats the paint up so fast you may want to go with the ccs instead

Cee Dog you got it right. If you can find a 5.5 inch flat pad that is the best way to go with a da.

There is a place to get them, but not here. I think AG should carry all pads in different sizes. Not just the 6.5's in the flat LC.

Thanks for the info.
