Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System

[Justin at Final Inspection]

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

The Boss pads work great with my G21. Haven't got a lot of time yet with these new thin pads and my G21 yet.

Four pages about these pads, but still it looks like nobody has come forward and mentioned what the thickness of these pads are?

They appear to have beveled edges from what I can see.

I loved them actually. Did two cars this weekend with them, even threw them on my GG6 and used them. I really really like the thinner pads. They just seem to feel better on the machines, less vibration, on the G21 they make full contact. (Unlike the thicker CCS pads which the edges lift on the G21.)

I dont know if the Griots are worth the price over LC or others but I like to seem someone test these head to head.

Does anyone know the thickness of the new LC Thin Pro pads??? It's not mentioned on the product page.

According to a recent Mike P. post and a LC rep:



Meguiar's foam discs measures 11/16 of an inch thin or 17.5mm thin if you prefer the metric system.

The Lake Country ThinPro pads officially measure in at 11/16" or 17.5mm as stated by David Patterson at Lake Country.

Either here or on Autopia someone recently posted a picture of a stack of 4 or 5 Megs thin pads next to the same number of the new LC Thin pads and the LC stack was visibly shorter than the Megs pads.

Here's the thread with the comparison

I finally got my hands on them last week. We buffed two cars out using both a Port Cable and Flex 3401... I was impressed. They run cooler, faster, and hold up! I did however notice a slight bit more vibration when using the Flex with the thin pad. Attached below are a couple shots from the cars we utilized the thin pads on!

Not from personal experience but what I've read here quite a few times:
Forced rotation machines run better/smoother with thicker pads.

Yeah, I had read the same thing, but wanted to try it first hand. It had increased vibration verses a thicker pad, but not a deal break by any means.
