Re: 5.5" SUPER THIN FOAM PAD OPTIONS for your Dual Action Polisher
I like the Lake Country thin pro pads a lot. Since they are consistent in the foam color and composition with CCS pads, easy to make that switch.

Thanks for the reply, Mike! Great explanation.
I'm really surprised you had to use the gray pad on that example car to get out the water spots. That's a seriously aggressive pad!

I've used the ThinPro pads with my GG6 for a few sessions and love them. I was using HydroTech before and the ThinPros are working much better for me. They seem to have about normal heat buildup resistance and rotate really well.

I agree.
It's a ver sharp foam and most people should try to work with the orange cutting pad first.

I love the ThinPro Grey pads, made my life so much easier on heavier defects and both the 3401 and Rupes 15 love it.

I can't stand the THIN grey pad on the 3401. I think the thicker force grey pad will work much better.

I agree but no denying the Meguiars Burgandy thin cutting discs and LC ThinPro Grey works well on it too. The BnS Low-Pro's work best. The Hybrids I have will not be replaced as the cuts nowhere near modern pads and am counting on the Force pads to win me over.

I find dense THIN pads on gear-driven tools makes them tend to what to hop or chatter when buffing. You don't get this with thick foam pads.
Thins SOFT foam pads buff smooth on gear driven tools like the FLEX 3401 just not the thin foam cutting pads.

do these pads offer any advantage with a flex 3401?

Not in my opinion or experience.
In my FLEX 3401 how to book I recommend thick pads and specifically the Lake Country Hybrid pads and stick to that recommendation today.
