Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
Pretty much the difference is in the foam formulations that each company uses. Lake Country and BNS use different foams for most of our products regardless of the foam color.
Lake Country Mfg. Has been working very hard over the last year. In recent months prior to the release of out new HD Orbital pad, we have significantly increased, and upgraded the bond to ensure the best durability.
The complete hydrotech line has had an adhesive upgrade along with our standard line of foams.
We have upgraded the adhesive on all of the purple foamed wool and lambswool pads as well.
While the HD orbital pad was made to be a heavy duty pad for long stroke machines, we feel durability is a huge factor and wanted to completely upgrade our line as well.
We take any product failure very seriously and apologize for any issues you have had in the past with delamination.
If for some reason you do or have had any problem, please email us immediately and we can address the issue right away. We would never want a customer to have bad experience, and we always stand behind our product. david.patterson@lakecountrymfg.com

Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
^This is why I give Lake Country the edge.^ David Patterson is an active forum member and doesn't hesitate to stand by LC products whenever there is an issue - and I speak from direct experience. Who can stay that about B&S products?

Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
I like and use both brands.
I really like the Orange Cutting pads from LC and the Green Polishing pads from BNS.

Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
i use buff n shine 3 inch pads, i really like the self centering backing. i have had velcro issues with them though. i have about 4 polishing and finishing pads get thrown across the shop when the velcro lets go from the pad.

Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
LC and B&S both make great pads. Don't forget about Meguiars and Rupes. Meg is still my favorite MF pad and the Rupes Yellow polishing pad is superior so many ways.
There is vast amounts of knowledge at your fingertips, use Google, Youtube, and the search button.

Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
After wearing out my B&S microfiber cutting pads - I tend to work on old cars, I was faced with about a forth of a car left and no cutting pads. So, tried the B&S microfiber polishing pad - and man! That thing did BETTER! The foam was not so stiff and allowed me to hit areas that the other pad would not. I couldn't detect any loss of cutting power either.

Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
Saw the new Meguiar's Thin Foam Pads in action last nite down at Meguiar's HQ
They will soon be a part of the conversation, especially when paired with standard DA tools
Very smooth
Zero heat build-up
For some reason easier to clean on the fly
Nice finish from the Burgundy cutting pad
Art Hernandez was shooting video and should have it up later today

Re: Lake Country Pads vs Buff and Shine Pads
i've had issues with LC pads and most likely will not buy them anymore, even more so since the new megs DA pads are here now. it's nice to have options these days and choosing what suits you best is all that matters...

I've been interest in the Hydro tech line, especially the Cyan cutting pad, but have read, and seen questionable reviews of this particular series of pads.
I've also experienced that the hex logic (b&s) pads are exceptionally resilient, and robust. However, I've yet to run an LC CCS pad to failure.
