 CCS Technology revolutionizes foam buffing pads!
CCS 6.5 Inch Smart Pads™ Dual Action Foam Pads are the standard for swirl removal, polishing, and waxing! The flat, full contact pads are large enough to cover large body panels quickly, but they’re small enough to be used successfully with a dual action polisher. Use these pads to polish paint, auto glass, and large plastic windscreens or windows, such as those found on boats.
Lake Country has improved upon the basic pad design with CCS technology, which actually 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.
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.
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.
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 or Rotary 4 ¾ Inch Backing Plate.
Yellow
Cutting Foams 6.5"- 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
Light Cutting Foam 6.5"- 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.

Coarse
Green Cutting/Polishing Foam 6.5"- This foam is of medium density with the
ability to level very fine scratches and very light oxidation. Use light
swirl removers with this pad.
White
Polishing Foam 6.5"- 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
Polishing/Finishing Foam 6.5" - 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.
Gray
Finishing Foam 6.5" - 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
Finessing Foam 6.5” – 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.
CCS Red Ultrasoft Wax/Sealant Foam 6.5” - 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.
CCS Super Soft Gold Jewelling Foam Pad 6.5” - The CCS Super Soft Gold Jewelling Pad is made of Lake Country's softest foam. Use the gold pad to apply a very fine polish or glaze as the final step of the polishing process. Jewelling is the term coined for this step because it intensifies gloss and reflectivity, like a jewel. The gold foam pad also works well for wax and sealant application.
CCS Technology is the future of foam buffing pads. These pads are easy to use, they improve operator control, they prevent product waste, they reduce heat...CCS pads simply do more to improve detailing results.
To clean all foam pads: Mix a scoop of Snappy Clean Pad Cleaning Concentrate in 3-4 gallons of water before you begin detailing. When you're finished with each pad, toss it in the mixture to soak. Mild agitation with a Foam Conditioning Brush will release any polish residue. Rinse the pads and lay them flat to dry. Lay the pads foam side down. If foam pads are left to dry with the hook & loop facing down, water will settle where the hook & loop is glued to the foam and it may affect the glue. For the best results, lay pads foam side down so water drains down and out of the foam.
You may not need all the pads here for a glass or plastic correction process, but you’ll have plenty of options to see what works best for your vehicle, polisher, and product.
