Thumbs Down on LC HT Pads

[Big Boi]

Me too, and this is after using the LC CCS pads that came with the GG combo I bought here...

I guess this just means I am gonna be completely blown away by the Meg's pads , eh? lol :wahoo:

Urs came with CCS pads?

Mine came with LC CCP pads

There will be more to come. I havent tried Buff n Shine pads. A friend of mine has those LC HydroTech pads that work decent.

Meguiar's Pads > Lake Country Pads

Just decent? I get really good results with the LC Hydrotech low profiles. The megs are better? Any specifically?

I have to really put forth some effort to separate my Hydrotechs from the LC backing plate. 5"bp and 5.5" pads. I have been nothing but pleased with all Lake Country pads, however I haven't tried Meg's since I haven't felt the need to.

+1. These stick like glue to the LC BP.

Meguiar's Pads > Lake Country Pads

Lake Country Hybrids>All others

Im using the Soft Buff original series. Why have a yellow, orange, white & green pad? Pretty useless when you can decide how much you want to cut by using the correct product, technique & pressure.

Anyway, IMO LC pads are cheap. They cost about $2 to make. Anyone who wants to question quality vs quality just take a look at how many people are using LC MF discs, vs how many people prefer Megs MF or Optimum MF discs. Secondly, HydroTech's are about as close as you can get to Megs foam pads.

I dont know, Megs invented the foam pad some 30 years ago. I doubt they have a clue what their doing

I wasn't saying Megs was bad, just saying that I've had good luck with my LC pads. With an endorsement like that though, I'll be sure to pick some up soon

and ptff the LC pads don't cost $2 to make.... I bet they cost less!

I have yet to have either of 2 LC microfiber pads fail but more than 20 Meguiar's and about 8 Optimum pads have. In fact, I'm willing to bet you can't find very many if any threads about a LC microfiber pad failure. Meguiar's did address the glue issue but I haven't used mine yet to see if they hold up. I have 6 from the new batch that I hope to abuse this upcoming weekend.

Roshan, I will buy you one so you can try just for kicks. I'll shoot you a PM.

You are correct. When the first gen Soft Buff's came out alot of people where having delamination issues, alot. Since then the newer gens have fixed that issue. I never used them when they came out defecive, I was using LC pads exclusively.

My post had nothing to do with foam pads, only microfiber pads.

I need to get some sleep. Regardless, Megs MF discs also suffered from similar delamination issues. Also since corrected. Usually hic ups like this happens when new products are introduced to the market.
