    I would say yes but with better finishing ability. I have used the orange pad on harder clear coats for a one step correction with FG400 with killer results.





    I really have only used the gray pad for spot correcting and messed around with it on my 3401 to see about removing 2500 wetsanding marks. It did remove them with ease. I have found that the orange and white and black pads to be very versatile and have used them with my rotary, 3401 with great results.



    I haven't used the Carpro flash pad or the UHS system

    Thanks for getting back quickly.

    For the gray pad, I just wanted to gauge it's hardness, so I mentioned other brands similar offerings.

    Looks like orange foams would be q good starting point. Nice to see these priced unlike the long throw pads.

    You mentioned using these with rotary... Given their low profile, I thought these would generate a lot of heat and can't really be someone's regular goto on rotary.

    Sorry about the misunderstanding. The gray pad is very firm.

    Before I got my hands on these I was only using the CCS pads, even in my rotary. After trying them on the 3401 I figured I would give them a shot on the rotary. Needless to say I was impressed and really got good results.

    Here is my "Gray pad". My prototype is white. Definitely a very firm pad structure.






    Here is the white polishing pad.

    Check out this thread. This was my first time putting the orange and white pad to the test.

    I was looking at getting these for my flex 3401 but the rep on the phone from autogeek talked me out if it and said it was better to use the thicker hybrid pads because of the forced rotation and there needs to be some give. He stated that the thinner pads were good for random orbitals but not for the flex. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Great work on the civic by the way it looks mint.

    It really comes down to user preference. I personally used the LC CCS before I was given these to test out. I found these to work very well with my 3401. Now the thicker hybrids that are specifically made for the 3401 probably are better suited but I have not tried them.

    Thanks for the compliments on the Civic.

    This is interesting because I contacted LC when I first got my G21 and asked if they were going to make any thiner pads, and was told no. Just last week purchased some griots Boss pads for 3 times the price.

    What do you think of the boss pads? I just ordered a bunch during the sale for my 21
