    Pad Advice.

    I was hoping to get some advice. I'm going to go with LC pads. I will be using a PC. I'm just not sure if I should go with the Hi Gloss CCS or Kompressor pads. I'm considering a combination of the two. I like the constant pressure and the thickness of the Hi Gloss. I hear great things about the...
