New: 1-Pad Polishing System from Lake Country

[arenared]

Thanks! Good luck with the launch.

I am not a pro, but my initial experience with the hydro-tech pads is that they are significantly stiffer than, say, a comparable open-cell foam pad. Also, they do not seem to last as long, perhaps because they are less forgiving due to the closed-cell nature of the foam. This also makes them a bit more difficult on curved surfaces.

What is appealing to me is that this new 1-Pad system has the possibility of bringing back the flexibility via the backing plate (I hesitate to call it a plate, more like part of the pad) to the hydro-tech pads. Also, since the hydro-tech pads seem stiffer, thinner would help. It seems to me that with use, the hydro-tech pads break down and become more flexible and more like open-cell. With this, if they are less durable and/or break down, well then I don't care because they would be disposable. Works for me.

Maybe I am not your target market (high-end detailers), but that's how I would use them A thin, flexible crimson hydro-tech closed-cell pad would be of interest to apply expensive LSPs without wasting half the bottle being absorbed into the pad while still saving time over hand application.

From the testing I have been doing, they produce heat faster and remove defect much much faster.

Will this be available for the flex 3401?
