    Orbital Pads

    I have looked at this site for pads. I`m looking for 6 inch pads in all flavors...LOL

    I see Megs is sold threw this site. Just a question are there any other manufactures that you guys have tried and like in addtition?

    I`m going to buy some Meg pads from these guys, but want to see about other brands.

    Thanks

    My favorite pads are the Lake Country 7.5 inch VC pads. The reason I love them is because with a 6" backing plate on the PC D.A. and rotary I can keep just one size pad for both tools. The extra inch helps to cover more area with the PC and the fact that they are a tad smaller than the usual rotary pad (8-9") makes them easier to negotaite around trim panels when using the rotary.

    The Lake Country 7.5" white polishing pad seems to have a tad more bite than the yellow Megs polishing pad which is nice. The grey (charcoal) finishing pad is very soft.

    Last time I spoke with Dwayne about these pads he said he would look to bring some in. Check with him to see if he`s expecting them anytime soon. If not, CMA has them (www.properautocare.com).

    i agree with natty. while i haven`t used the 7.5" pads, i have used the 6" and they work great. very durable and do an excellent job. i also like meguairs too.
