Hey guys I need to have a few more pads on hand. I started looking at all the different colors and what they are used for. I know I want to stick with LC brand.
So what is the difference between:
Gray
Blue
Red
I understand the ones with the cross cut and dots are to help the pad stay cool and help with proper dispensing of the product. Do you think this is that benificial when using a PC? Everyone talks about how long a PC takes to break down. With less pad on the surface wont this just take more time with the PC? I am always being told the PC cant burn through the clear unless you apply a ton of pressure and hold in one spot for a rediculous amount of time, right? So what is the real benifit of cross cut or dotted ones when they are used with a PC
Finally what color pads do you guys use the most?
Thanks in advance for your help

i love the lake country white ccs pads there great !!! there perfenc for light polishing . there pretty much all i use for polishing. i dont need to go more agressive. the blue and grey are nice for glazes or waxes.

I have the LC CCS pads and find they work great, I like being able to push on them to get some extra product when I need it.

To me, there is no difference between blue, gray and red. They are all "soft" and non-abbrasive. I use them interchangably.

OK they are interchangeable that is what I didn't understand

the grey blue and red are all very close im not sure why lake country offers so many pads. its all up to you the blue is very soft and the grey is a little more dense. its preference really. lake country pads are very confusing i mean they sell 2 diffrent green pads ones stiffer then orange and ones above the white. ask joe( dont sleep on it) he will be glad to expaln this to you it drives him nutts

I hate it when manufacturers try to complicate the hell out of everything (Menzerna JUMPS to mind here!). I have a yellow pad..have yet to use it; I primarily use the white LCC and the orange...I think they're my go-to's for the most part. If I'm using RMG (I do on solid black, I like the wetness), then I'll use the gray (I have a blue one too...I've hardly used it either). In summary, white, orange and occasionally gray/blue.

good question... i alone want to know the difference, maybe if someone post their set-up like:

Paint condition:
PAD:

The Green LC CCS *heavy polishing* pads were my favorite for PC. Not from AG they have a different green but I am talking about the green from danase and Detailers Domain

I had the smaller pads from danase that were 5". I liked the smaller size because I found it corrected faster due to the smaller surface area and higer heat. So you would have to pay attention or you *could* burn clear but you would really have to be pushing down hard and not moving.

The thing I like about the smaller pads is I never bogged my pc down with the 5" pads.

The pads from detailers domain (gotts keep it all with the DB sponsors) also follow the same agressive pattern meaning green is more agrressive than white. They are also a tad biggger so would generate less heat from my observations in case my earlier comment made you nervous.

I would get 5 white, 5 green and 3 Orange and 3 blue
