Lake Country HDO Foam Pads are specially designed foam pads that were developed for long-stroke dual action polishers. This line was created to offer more durable and performance enhancing characteristics.

Lake Country HDO Foam Pads feature a dual-density design. This unique design eliminates the concaving effect that other pads experience, allowing the pads to maintain optimum surface contact and extended usage on long-stroke machines, like the Rupes LHR 15 ES and LHR 21ES Big Foot Random Orbital Polishers.

Lake Country HDO Foam Pads will outlast and outperform any other foam pads on a long-stroke dual action polisher – guaranteed.

Microfibre Heavy Cutting HDO Pad – Features a microfibre nap that removes heavy imperfections from your painted surfaces. Like other microfibre pads, it has enough to remove moderate to severe paint imperfections, but finishes like a foam pad.

Blue Cutting HDO Foam Pad – Firm, medium density foam for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers as an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.

Orange Polishing HDO Foam Pad – Less dense foam formula for the application of cleaner waxes and light polishes. This pad has very light cutting power so it’s perfect for the removal of light defects and micro marring.

Red Waxing HDO Foam Pad – Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has very little cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes, and ultra fine polishes.

Black Finishing HDO Foam Pad – Super soft composition perfect for a flawless finish. With absolutely no cut, this pad will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and ultra fine glazes and will buff to perfection.

Pad Size: 5.5″

SDO Pads have been designed to offer the same great engineered foams as the HDO line, without the dual layer constructions.

These pads are designed for use on all Dual Action polishers with a centre ventilated backing plate.

Lake Country SDO Pads feature a centre hole that provides a tunnel to release and dissipate heat from the foam and reduce surface temperatures and risk of damage to the paint.

SDO Pads feature a tapered edge to prevent the pads from rolling and to provide great pad rotation. This allows for precision polishing in tight areas and is especially effective on curved and contoured panels.

The pack contains:

• Microfibre Heavy Cutting Pad HDO (blue border)
• One-Step Light Cutting Pad HDO (orange border)
• Blue Heavy Polishing Pad HDO CCS
• Orange Polishing Pad HDO CCS
• Black Finishing Pad HDO CCS

All pads fit 5 inch backing plates.

The Blue Heavy Polishing Pad tackles heavier defects, the Orange Polishing Pad is a powerful all-rounder, the Black Finishing Pad provides ultimate gloss, the Microfibre Heavy Cutting Pad provides maximum cut and control, and the One-Step Light Cutting Pad cuts and polishes in one step.

HDO pads are dual-layered and this reduces lateral/horizontal movement, resulting in a reduction of molecular friction inside the pad which increases durability by eliminating excessive heat & reduces foam fatigue.

The foam pads feature a tapered edge which prevents the pad rolling and provides great pad rotation. This makes them great for curved and contoured panels, and allows for precision polishing in tight areas.

Centre ventilated cooling channels dissipate heat away from the centre of the pad, reducing temperatures and increasing durability. The system also allows for perfect pad alignment.

1. Fill to the desired level
2. Add one packet of Lake Country Snappy Clean Boost Pad Cleaner
3. Prime the pump by pushing down on it gently with your hands. Water should shoot upwards when doing so.
4. Insert soiled pad (still attached to polisher).
5. Use the power of the polisher to clean dirt and grime off of the pads.
6. Spin dry pad in the unit to avoid any sling or mess.

The new pump design eliminates pressure loss and reduces clogging or breaking. Overall the durability is drastically increased from the 3000D and the new build greatly reduces vibrations during the cleaning process. On top of these great features, the new grommet design removes the easy to lose seal with a part that stays in place with better sealing ability. Use the 4000 Pad Cleaner with most polishers (random orbital, DA, rotary) and pads (wool, foam, microfiber) of any shape or size (pads up to 9″ in diameter). Stop wasting time when washing your pads, safe time, and clean more efficiently with the Lake Country Pad Washer System 4000.

The Hybrid foams are specially engineered with small cells and dense construction to keep abrasives in the chemicals close to the surface of the pad.

Benefits:

• Less Polish / Quicker results – Faster correction time as more polish stays on the working surface rather than being absorbed into the foam.
• Pad Design – The buff backed design on the backside of the pad protects the backing plate from contact with the working surface, while maintaining consistent pressure across the pad.<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/4e_yoASCZE8″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen></iframe>

Remove small blemishes with the Rotary 2 7/8 inch Flexible Backing Plate and a 4 inch pad. This compact backing plate has all the rugged features of larger backing plates, yet its perfectly sized for spot polishing. Use the Rotary 2 7/8 inch Flexible Backing Plate with any polisher with a 5/8 inch post.

Molded Urethane is where it’s at. This material is flexible yet incredibly durable. This plate will last through countless, rigorous uses without falling apart or becoming unbalanced. Balancing is essential when it comes to polishers because an unbalanced plate will bounce, leaving an uneven finish. The reinforced inner construction uses steel struts molded into the center hub to give the plate stability and maintain an even surface for your pad.

Urethane is highly resistant to heat. The Flexible Backing Plate minimizes the transfer of heat from the polisher motor to the paint to prevent burning. Spontaneous heat build-up is also reduced.

Remove and replace pads easily from the hook & loop surface. The hook & loop fasteners are molded onto the plate.

Microfibre pads are constructed of thousands of strands of microfibre. These fibres are sewn closely together which means the Microfibre Polishing Pads finish brilliantly. Lake Country Microfibre Cutting Pads use microfibre loops that are more plush and more dense compared to other microfiber pads, which ensures that they provide a finish that was previously not possible with a microfibre pad.

Lake Country Microfibre Cutting Pads also use state-of-the-art adhesive technology to ensure the pads do not delaminate, even after countless uses. These pads feature two different adhesives, both of which are specifically designed for the material that they’re attached to. This ensures that Lake Country Microfibre Pads are more durable than conventional microfibre pads They are also machine washable!

Lake Country Microfiber Cutting Pads can be used on any factory paint, repainted surfaces and custom paint finishes.

Natural wool pads have a tendency to become frayed, matted, and begin linting. The deterioration of a wool pad results in a pad that provides less cushion between the buffer and the paint, and the matted wool poses a greater risk of scratching the paint.

Lake Country’s Foamed Wool is a patented process whereby microscopic polyfoam particles encapsulate the base of the wool pad. You can feel how the wool is tighter and denser than a regular wool pad. This enables the Foamed Wool 6.5 inch Buffing/Polishing Pads to stand up to the stress of polishing better with less caking and matting and better results. The Foamed Wool encapsulation process locks the lambswool fibers in place to significantly reduce linting. The paint surface will stay cleaner as you work with less to clean up when you’re finished detailing.

Foamed Wool also creates tiny air pockets at the base of the wool fibers. This is essentially trapped air that improves the cushioning provided by the pad and the retention of compounds and polishes. Just like the cells of foam absorb products, these minute air pockets retain products so none is wasted.

All these features are great, but we know you’re really concerned about performance.Foamed Wool 7 inch Buffing/Polishing Pads are capable of removing 1500 grit scratches, leaving a smooth finish with no hazing and few, if any, compounding swirls.These pads finish more like a foam pad than a wool pad so you have to do less finishing work to get a perfect shine.

Lake Country’s Foamed Wool 6.5 inch Buffing/Polishing Pads are manufactured for consistency and quality. Natural wool has a lot of variances and this can lead to inconsistent pad performance. That will never be a problem with the Foamed Wool 6.5 inch Buffing/Polishing Pads.

These pads are recommended for dual action and circular (rotary) buffers. We recommend the 6 inch Hook & Loop Rotary Flexible Backing Plate or Dual Action Hook & Loop Flexible 6 inch Backing Plate for this 6.5 inch pad.

To wash Foamed Wool Pads, dissolve 1 scoop of McKee’s 37 Polishing Pad Rejuvenatorin 3-4 gallons of water. Soak used pads for up to 15 minutes and use a brush to agitate if needed. Rinse and air dry face down to allow the water to drain away from the hook & loop backing.

Wool encapsulated in nanofoam particles gives you results like you’ve never seen before with a conventional wool pad. Foamed Wool 6.5 inch Buffing/Polishing Pads from Lake Country use the modern technology of foam to bring the wool pad to a whole new level of performance.

Choose from five different “cuts”, referring to the ability of the pad to level the clear coat. More aggressive pads will be able to remove or diminish swirls and scratches while softer foam is suitable for wax or sealant application. Access your vehicle’s needs before selecting pads.

See below for a description on each Lake Country Dual Action 5.5 Inch Foam Pads and then choose from the drop down menu.

The low profile 5.5 inch buffing pads pack the same CCS technology and performance into a compact, highly effective size that works best with dual action polishers and air sanders.

CCS stands for Collapsed Cell Structure. CCS Technology is Lake Country’s innovative pad design that saves product by controlling product release onto the work surface. Dozens of dimples in the foam collect excess polish and reserve it until it is needed on the pad’s face (the area that is in contact with the paint). This design prolongs your working time and reduces product waste.

CCS Smart Pads™ work on every type of paint, from conventional clear coats to the harder, scratch-resistant clear coats used by Mercedes Benz and the Ford Motor Company. Lake Country’s range of foam compositions, combined with the right chemicals provides you with a prescription to correct almost any paint imperfection on any paint finish.

What are the benefits of CCS Technology?

Slows rate of polish absorption – As discussed above, the pads are slow to absorb products and therefore the paint benefits from a longer working time. The same is true of liquid waxes and sealants.

Improves operator control – CCS pockets gradually release polish as needed by the operator. Since these areas are not absorbing polish, they serve as little reservoirs until the excess polish is needed.

Prevents pad skipping – CCS pockets reduce surface tension allowing the operator to run pad flat on a working surface. Basically, the CCS pockets break up the smooth surface of the foam to eliminate the sticking and skipping that occurs when two perfectly flat surfaces meet.

Creates less heat – CCS pockets provide several points where the foam is not completely touching the paint. This reduces friction and therefore heat generated between the pad and the paint.

OEM approved – OEM tests confirm CCS pads out-perform convoluted pad designs.All Products

CCS foam pads provide ample surface contact to effectively work the paint. The CCS pockets are small so they don’t affect the amount of foam continuously touching the paint during operation.

These CCS Smart Pads 5.5 inch Professional Foam Pads give you maximum maneuverability on your dual action polisher. Large foam pads tend to bog down DA polishers, like the Porter Cable 7424 XP. That’s why 6.5 inch pads are the recommended size, but we’ve streamlined the dual action buffing pad even more with the CCS Smart Pads™ Dual Action 5.5 inch Professional Foam Pads. These compact pads give the dual orbiting head even greater freedom of motion to help you work efficiently and effectively.

The CCS 5.5 inch Foam Pads are also a perfect fit on orbital air sanders with a 5 inch backing plate.

Each CCS pad features VELCRO brand hook and loop fasteners covering the entire back of each pad to secure to a hook and loop backing plate. We recommend the 5 inch Flexible DA Backing Plate
	Yellow Low Profile Cutting 5.5 inch 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 5.5 inch 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 Polishing 5.5 inch 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.
	Green Low Profile Polishing/Finishing 5.5 inch Foam Pad – Use this foam to apply one-step cleaner waxes. It is a balance of polishing and finishing that is perfect for all-in-one product application.
	Black Low Profile Finishing 5.5 inch 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.
	Blue Low Profile Finessing 5.5 inch Foam Pad – Flat pad has soft composition for applying glaze, finishing polish, sealants, and liquid waxes. Flat pad provides full contact with paint surface to minimize the pressure applied by the user.
	Red Low Profile Ultrasoft Wax/Sealant 5.5 inch Foam 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.
