Review of Lake Country Hydro-Tech 5.5 x 1.25 Inch Foam Pads

Sorry no pictures on this review ( Camera was recently stolen)

First thing I noticed was how thick these pads are, which made me wonder if once product was applied would it bogg down the machine (PC 7424) I used Menzerna SIP, the pads did not absorb the product as fast as I originally thought, which results in longer working time ( A big plus) also the dust that I normally get from white LC pads and the Orange pads wasn't as bad these pads, they are easy to handle and work smoothly, after one side of the car was completed I did IPA wipe down, and noticed there was no marring, another plus. In closing: these are great pads, but I still prefer the original Lake Country pads due to the thinness and ability to get in tighter areas, the draw back the Hydo-Tech pads I think that they are way too thick to get into tight areas.

Thank You for the review. I am in the market for some smaller pads.

I just noticed on the new products page Lake Country's Hydro-Tech 4 x 1.25 Inch Foam Pads, this is the size that would make these pads superb. the 5.5 just seemed to be too big and bulky

Thanks for the review, I'm ordering a couple each of 6.5". Are Hydro-tech thicker than standard LC flat pads? The store page doesn't list the thickness for either.

Sorry to hear about your camera being stolen, mine was recently stolen as well. It sucks not having my camera!

...nope

Don't know comparing to flat pads but they are the same thickness of the CCS pads but with a beveled or rounded edge.
