New Lake Country 4" inch Flat Polishing Pads

Here their are folks! These are a must have in your detailing supplies! These Lake Country 4" CCS Classic Flat Pads are excellent for doing spot work or getting into those tight areas where a larger backing plate just will not work. The foam on these Classic Flat Pads is the same exact foam used on the 4" Classic Foam Pads.
Constant pressure may not be good for people, but it's great for polishing pads where you want a uniform and constant pressure on the surface being polished. Professionals have learned through experience to keep their machines parallel to the surface being polished. Tilting the machine in any direction can result in an uneven and excessive pressure being transferred to the painted surface.
This patented Constant Pressure technology uses a layer of engineered, instant rebound foam between the pad and the backing plate to absorb off-axis movements while keeping the pressure of the pad on the surface constant.
NOTE: The Gold Concours Finishing Pad does not have the Constant Pressure, blue foam layer. The gold foam is so soft it is not required.
Check them out in the New Car Care Products section!

Classic Flat pads are ideal for use with polishes that feature the new super Micro Abrasives because they increase the total surface area of the pad, which reduces polishing times. It has never been better to be old school again, like myself.
Same features as our 6.5? pads, including a beveled edge, Constant Pressure technology, and a safety raised backing surface. Use to increase the polishing action of Random Orbital Polishers (PC's). These are old school favorites and mine too.

Angelo is the original old-timer, the very definition of old school. He's been detailing since the Army wore brown shoes.

I stopped in at PAC and found Jack and Angelo talking about their aches, pains and bodily functions.

Jack says, "I have this problem. I wake up every morning at seven and it takes me twenty minutes to tinkle."

I chime in, "My case is worse. I get up at eight and I sit there and grunt and groan for half an hour before I finally have a BM."

Angelo says, "At seven I pee like a horse, at eight I flop like a cow."

"So what's your problem?" Jack and I ask.

Angelo replies,"I don't wake up until nine."
 
Flat vs. CCS Foam Pad

Flat foam pads- were the original pads before the introduction of Closed Cell Structure (CCS) Technology?, they share the same advanced foam compositions. Flat pads have a slightly different feel compared with CCS Technology pads especially when used with a rotary polisher. Once mastered, flat pads break down the polish quicker since fresh polish is not being constantly introduced to the surface; this allows a skilled technician in a high-volume detail shop or paint and body shop to accomplish more in less time.
They are very efficient when used with non-diminishing abrasives as they increase the total surface area of the pad, allowing pressure to be uniformly applied. It also increases the pad's rigidity against the backing plate, which is very similar to block wet sanding (finishing paper and a sanding block) the most effective tool for paint defect removal because you can abrade the paint surface flat until the defects are removed. Non- diminishing abrasives and a flat foam pad are similar in application

CCS Foam Pads - Closed Cell Structure (CCS) Technology?, from Raisins Schaumstoffe, Gmbh., Germany these pads are manufactured from thermally reticulated, urethane foam with an open cell structure and a bevelled edge, with a layer of engineered, instant rebound foam between the pad and the backing plate to absorb off-axis movements while keeping the pressure of the pad on the surface constant.

The newer scratch-resistant clear coats require longer polishing times to remove swirls, spots and defects. The longer you polish with conventional foam pads, the less effective they become because polish migrates below the working surface of the pad; the pad dries out. Closed Cell Structure technology solves this problem using strategic patterns of partially closed foam cells. These cells slow the rate of polish absorption, gradually releasing polish as needed by the operator. CCS pockets reduce surface tension, prevent pad skipping and allow the operator to run the pad flat on the working surface

All I can say that these are some sweet pads folks, Just got my set sitting on my desk!:thumbup:
But what's the thing about from Raisins? I don't get it?:confused:

CCS stands for collapsed cell structure. What is the Rasin stuff about?
 
Thanks for the correction we don?t want the cells closing
My ?fat finger? typing, it should be - Reisgies Schaumstoffe, Gmbh, Germany (probably thinking about the California resins) :smile:

What is your take on the differences ? CCS vs. Flat foam pads?

I have not seen any beveled edges on most CCS pads (what PAC calls OEM pads). I do not think the "layer of engineered, instant rebound foam between the pad and the backing plate to absorb off-axis movements while keeping the pressure of the pad on the surface constant" is available from anyone by PAC.
