  • LC Flats or Hex Logic pads?

    So with the money I have, I can buy 1 of 2 kits. One has 7 LC Flat pads, my pick of pads, at 6.5", while the other has 5 Hex Logic pads, 5.5", in a set package that comes with Orange, White, Blue, Black, and Red, all comparable to the LC pads in terms of color to cut. The LC package is at detailedimage and the Hex Logic is at chemicalguys. I read some nice things on the Hex with being almost the same as the LC CSS pads. Which one will provide me with the most contact to the paint for faster and better paint correction and application of polishes, sealants, and waxes, the Flats or the Hexs? Any other insight is wonderful.

    This is what I know about Hex or CSS design...

    Hold the polish better on the pad so it won't migrate to the center
    Because of the HEX groove cleaning the pad on the fly can be harder

    I have used both and they both work well

      Go with the flat pads.

      The flat pads will provide the most surface area and defect removal. The CCS, hex, egg carton, and other pad creations are okay, but non-diminishing abrasives work best with a simple flat pad.

        Alright, thanks for the input. The thing I keep thinking about is the pad size. The smaller the pad on the DA's, the more cut it provides. Would I notice the 1" difference by a noticeable margin, or will the pad design make up for that difference, in terms of pressure and contact to the surface.
