Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System

[VISITOR]

Mike,

So would these thinner pads make my GG6 more effective? Will also it 'cleaning better' and 'not heating up as a thicker pad' as someone said here make me not to have to use 3-4 pads a car and say maybe '1-2' per car then?

I want to get some to try out also. I am thinking of getting 2 of each. So the dangers is the pad is just thinner and I have to be careful on countored edges, right?

on the traditional PC-style DA the thinner pads have less foam which means less twist in helping to rotate. i would at least have 4-5 pads (can never have enough and the more the better) for polishing/compounding. the thinner pads tend to get saturated quicker as well...

If you click this link I think I show the Meguiar's thin foam discs on just about every tool as we put these pads to the test before they were announced at SEMA.

NEW! Meguiar's’s Foam Buffing Discs





Thin maroon disc on rotary buffer






Thin discs on RUPES BigFoot 21








Meguiar's thin foam discs on the Flex 3401












And of course, the before condition of this car is fully documented in the write-up.

Thanks, Mike!

I use Mike's technique of the terry cloth towel to eat up the spent polish on the pads.

Thanks! Hmmm....may save up some cash to get 4 each when the time is right. It IS off season (for me)...

Definitely need more than 2 pads per step.

The terry cloth method is a good way to clean spent polish and paint.

Would anyone be interested in a torture test with these vs low pro buff n shine
1 pad per car on speed 6 via g21?

I am very pleased with the BOSS thin pads thus far. I would try these one day I suppose.

Not a huge fan of the thinpros, but I love the boss and Rupes pads.

I have a dodge ram while my 150 is in the body shop it has some scratches and it only has 7,000 miles. So being bored I decided to play around with my Rupe mini and Wolfgang uber compound with a blue Rupes pad. To my surprise the blue Rupes with the uber finished down really well and removed said imperfections. So there was no need to use the Wolfgang finishing polish, I would if it were mine or a customers vehicle, I'm kinda on the fence with the Rupes pads mainly because of price but hey they work.
