Lake Country 140 mm Rotary H-T Pads have been designed specifically for use with rotary machine polishers, and offer a number of distinct advantages over regular pads. Firstly, all of the pads in the line are non-reticulated with a closed cell structure, which not only increases the level of mechanical cut on offer, but also prevents water-based compounds and polishes from being absorbed into the pad. In a nutshell, this means that the product is held where it is needed, i.e. between the pad and the panel being polished, and as a result the available working time and thus level of cut on offer is greatly extended. Secondly, and even more importantly in our opinion, all of the pads in the line are all cut much more thinly than regular pads, meaning that they offer excellent comfort and control during use. Being able to feel precisely what is happening between the pad and the panel is critical when using a rotary machine polisher, and in this respect Lake Country 140 mm Rotary H-T Pads outperform every other type of pad we have ever used.
This pick and mix kit allows you to choose 6 x Lake Country 140 mm Rotary H-T Pads of your choice and offers a 5% saving over buying the included pads separately. The following grades of pad are available...
Cutting Pad (Cyan)
This pad has an aggressive cutting action that will remove deeper scratches, serious swirl marks and heavy oxidation when used in conjunction with heavy polishing compounds.
Polishing Pad (Tangerine)
This pad has a moderate cutting action that will remove less serious swirl marks and restore a high gloss finish when used in conjunction with light polishing compounds and finishing polishes.
Finishing Pad (Crimson)
This pad has a light cutting action that will remove marring and faint swirl marks and restore a high gloss finish when used in conjunction with finishing polishes.
General usage notes: (i) always select the least aggressive pad you think you will need to achieve the desired result, and step up one grade at a time if more cut is required (ii) always ensure that you centre each pad properly on the backing plate (this can take several attempts to get right, but is vital if the machine is to remain perfectly balanced during use); (iii) always use an appropriate sized pad for the backing plate you are using (the pad should always protrude past the edge of the backing plate, never the other way around); (iv) always ensure that excess polish residue on the face of the pad is brushed off regularly during use using a PB Utility Brush (failure to follow this advice can lead to micromarring of the finish, so don’t be lazy!); (v) after use, soak each pad in a bucket of Lake Country Snappy Pad Cleaner solution for 15 minutes and then rinse under fresh running water (using your fingertips to massage out any remaining polish residue) and allow to dry naturally, and; (vi) whilst not in use, store in a dry, dust-free environment (lidded plastic storage boxes are ideal in this respect).
