New pads time

[richy22]

As my Menz pads seem to be breaking and are generally s**t I want some new ones...

Recommendations pwease!

Im torn between 3m and Lake Country. And I very much doubt I will be needing a heavy cutting pad by the way

Chem guys Hexlogic seem to get good write-ups

3m yellow is my go to pad. Lake
County LCC pads are crap and degrade quickly. Still think the Sonus ones are great quality for a DA.

Failing that the Hexlogics. Good cut and well made.

Everybody knows...

3M > All.

I know I say this a lot mate but the 3m polish system is the dogs balls mate.

3M pads are my choice. i use http://shop.autobritedirect.co.uk/3m-buffing-pads-139-c.asp and think they are the best pads available

How long did yours last? My wax pad is lasting for over 60 times a mid-size car now, the white and orange pad had over 120 times a mid-size cars each. So I dont think they are that bad, especially the Kompressors which i find making me able to work with the polish longer.

My go to pads are the 3M set at the minute if Im honest.. Hexlogic comes in occasionally, more so with their spot pads, but usually, it's the 3M yellow polishing followed by a black or blue finishing. Can't go wrong.

Thats what I ended up ordering

The Colapsed Cell Structure ones would last about three or four details at a max. A soon as they were either washed or even slightly mis-treated they would fall apart at the ends and on the surface.

Ahhh, yes the CCS ones aren't my favourites either.
