Product description
Use innovative Lake Country CCS pads for better polishing and waxing with less waste. The Collapsed Cell Structure (CCS) technology consists of dimples in the foam that act as reservoirs, saving excess compounds and releasing them when needed. You’ll be able to work longer before replenishing your pads and use less compound overall. Lake Country polishing pads with CCS also reduce skipping and sticking, give detailers more control and generate less surface heat. They are proven to outperform OEM foam pads whether you’re doing aggressive cutting or applying a one-step polish.

The 3.5 inch, 5.5 inch, & 6.5 inch pads use the following color coordination:
Yellow Low Profile Cutting Foam Pad
Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange or white pad and a fine polish to refine the paint until it is smooth.
Orange Low Profile Light Cutting Foam Pad
Firm, high density foam for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers. It’s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.
White Low Profile Heavy Polishing Foam Pad
Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so its perfect for pre-wax cleaners.
Black Low Profile Finishing Foam Pad
Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes.
The 7.5 inch & 8.5 inch pads use the following color coordination:
Yellow Cutting Pad
Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange or white pad and a fine polish to refine the paint until it is smooth.
Orange Light Cutting Pad
Firm, high density foam for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers. It’s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.
Pink Cutting and Polishing Pad
This foam is of medium density with the ability to level very fine scratches and very light oxidation. Use light swirl removers with the Pink CCS pad.
White Polishing Pad
Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so its perfect for pre-wax cleaners.
Blue Finessing Pad
This pad is not as dense as the green polishing pad and provides little cutting ability. Generally used to polish to perfect, this pad will leave a high shine on the surface. Perfect for use with a finishing glaze, last-step polish, and some all-in-one cleaner polishes.
Black Finishing Pad
Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes.
Red Waxing Pad
This soft, imported foam is ideal for applying the final coat of wax or sealant. The foam works especially well when applying liquid waxes or sealants because it is firm enough to keep the majority of the product on the paint, rather than soaking it up. The red foam has no cut or cleaning ability.
