    Re: New LC Flat Pads - Change in Cutting / Finishing Order?

    I think they’ve taken a step in the wrong direction trying to get people to buy more unnecessary pads.. They had a good thing going and it was nice and easy to follow. But now they’ve got 1 step AIO pads, finishing pads, waxing pads, etc... TBO their new pad selection is sort of a turn off.

    Re: New LC Flat Pads - Change in Cutting / Finishing Order?

    Well, this all brings me back to my original question, should I have bought the green pads instead of white? I was trying to cover the spectrum of cut, polish, and wax, which seemed to have been nicely covered with Orange, White, Black. Basically every other pad up the range. Now white is being shown as more aggressive than green...

    Orange, White, and Black are the staples for most users.

    Re: New LC Flat Pads - Change in Cutting / Finishing Order?

    If you go on the LC own website you are getting even more confused with the flat pad line. Since they have purple and red and pink also in flat pads for DAs. The difference I saw from them is that the yellow orange white pads are made of prepolymer foam and the others in non-reticulate foam. As I know the prepolymer/reticulate foam is they are more dence than the non-reticulate foam. The green pad if I remember correctly is used with AIO best and the white with paint cleaner.

    Think you are covered with orange white black combo. And if you are doing some heavy compounding sometimes a mf cutting pad or a wool short haired pad would be a great choice.

    I really don’t know why companies do this kinda stuff.. I feel like 4 is the sweet spot.

    Heavy cutting (or microfiber) -> light cutting -> polishing -> finishing

    I guess it gets more complicated as you delve into doing it professionally, but can it really be by that much?

    Is it really necessary to have 2-3 different variants of each pad?

    It’s gets complicated if you’re a noob trying to buy pads for the 1st time. Can you imagine trying to choose, especially with everyone telling you u need a bunch of pads.

    Absolutely. One of the reasons I bought my mt300 kit was because it came with so many dang pads that I was like “wow that has to be a great deal!”

    Now I have a ton of 6” thick ccs lake country pads that are in the attic, and shame/regret I didn’t do more research at the time. Maybe I’ll cut them up and make them into a little foam pit New LC Flat Pads - Change in Cutting / Finishing Order?

    It’s part of the reason why I’ve just stuck with meguiars discs, the simplicity just really appeals to me, even if I miss out on something like a LC Orange pad.

    Re: New LC Flat Pads - Change in Cutting / Finishing Order?

    You guys are over thinking it, the green and white pads will get you the same results. I do agree on having a fewer pad system to all pad line ups, preferably like Meguiars, 3 pads and done. Cut,Polish,Finish.

    From the LC and BnS lineup my favourites are Yellow,Orange,Green.
