  • LC Pads?

    Okay, as of late I've only used Meguiar's soft-buff pads but I've come to see a few sites and people selling Lake Country DA pads for pretty cheap. Which colors would I use? I plan on using them for M105, M205 (though I heard it can be finicky), M80 and occasionally to apply LSP. I figure blue would be good for LSP, white for M105 and black for M205? White or black for M80.

    If you're going to use M105 that suggests a need for some pretty aggressive correction. LC orange is a more aggressive pad than the white you mention. Anything needing a stouter cut I favor the Purple Foamed Wool over the hard-as-a-brick yellow.

    For M205 or M80, it all depends on your needs. If you need to do a bit of defect removal you'll want white, black is a finishing pad. Great for bringing M205 to a high shine.

    For the LSP either blue or red work well, as does the newer gold pad.

    One of the advantages of LC pads is their availability in smaller sizes. I find myself using 4" pads frequently for spot defect removal as well as compounding. They seem to cut better and faster than the larger pads on a DA. YMMV.
