    One pad isn't enough to do a car.

    Packs of 2 meaning doubles of the same pad .

    one pack means 2 pads (though i heard they are selling them individually but not on AG just yet). IMO you should have at a minimum of at least 4 pads for correction. try not to overthink things...

    Right, I would say one pack (2 pads) is not enough to detail one car.

    If just applying wax/sealant, you can use one pad for a vehicle. For compounding and polishing, I'd suggest a minimum of 4-6 pads per vehicle.

    the lake pads are nearly half the price of the boss pads. I,m only gonnna be doing a few cars a year is that really worth paying the extra cost

    you can't go wrong with either the lake country thinpro or BOSS pads. both are high quality...
