Looking for serious cutting power for your Medium to  Heavy Duty Compounds?

IDEAL FOR ROTARY? HIGH SPEED POLISHERS.

The 8"  Yellow Cutting Pad -Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches in conjunction with a polishing compound. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange pad and a fine polish and then a white pad to refine the paint until it is smooth.

Lake Countries CCS Technology revolutionize foam buffing pads. The patented Collapsed Cell Structure Technology is the result of many years research and development by Lake Country manufacturing.

Tested an approved at OEM levels, these pads using strategic patterns of partially closed cells reduce the rate of polish absorption, improves operator control whilst at the same time reducing heat.

Lake Country s CCS Foam Pads are flat buffing pads that can be used with: circular polisher, dual-action polisher or even an electric drill.

What is CCS?
CCS pads utilize the latest in innovation and are very user friendly providing better control, less product waste, more accurate results and overall a better job.

CCS Foam Pads help reduce product waste. Lake Country has improved upon the basic pad design with CCS technology, which slows the rate of product absorption and saves polish. With conventional foam pads, polish is absorbed into the foam rather quickly. This reduces the working time with the polish and may give you disappointing results. A build-up of chemicals inside the foam will also cause the pad to dry out more rapidly.

CCS stands for Collapsed Cell Structure. The face of a CCS pad is covered in strategically placed pockets. These pockets are locations where the foam cells have been closed. Polish does not absorb into these closed cell pockets, leaving more product on the pad's surface and on the paint. This polish-saving design gives polishes a longer working time, which results in more successful detailing.

CCS foam 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, provide 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.

Chemical Guys offer CCS Spot Buffs in five varieties, read below to see which pads will work best for your vehicle. Tip: Don't get caught with your pants down-be sure to get a urethane backing plate backing plate for your pads when you order.

	Yellow Cutting Pad -Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches in conjunction with a polishing compound. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange pad and a fine polish and then a white pad to refine the paint until it is smooth.
	Orange Light Cutting Pad-This firm, high density foam is ideal for scratch and defect removal. The orange foam offers the correction of a typical compounding pad whilst at the same time allowing the polishing ability of light cut foam pad. When used with heavier compounds it will remove moderate swirls and scratches with little or no haze. It s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.
	Green Heavy Polishing Pad - This pad is is used by Mecedes Benz at OEM level and is designed to be used with a random orbital polisher (like the Porter Cable) It produces less spot heating and has a unique compression/load/deflection ratio which means it conforms quickly to contours. It is a high strength foam with 60 pores per sq. inch yet is softer and more forgiving than our regular foams which have 80 pores per sq. inch. This pad is tough enough to remove swirls and scuffs while at the same time producing a high gloss swirl free finish. This foam is also ideal for applying one-step cleaner waxes. It is a balance of polishing and finishing that is perfect for all-in-one product application.
	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. It is the most well used pad as it is ideal for application of pre wax cleansers as well as many finishing polishes such as Pro-Polish Or FP-Final Polish.
	Black Finishing Foam -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 Ultra Fine Finishing Pad - This pad has a ultra 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.
	THE BEST 5" Backing plate for your Dual Action Polisher. DA-Molded urethane backing plate. Nothing holds pads better then our Hook & Loop  flexible backing plates. Dual-Action Flexible Backing Plates minimize heat transfer, while it flexes just enough to contour to your autos bends curves. These backing plates are built tough and even carry a 1 Yr warrant. Ideal for use with Porter Cable 7424 Dual-Action Polisher or Chemical Guys Heavy Hitter DA.
