Can Lake Country Variable Contact Pads be used with a PC?

[Taubs]

Looking to obtain some polishing foams in the UK, but one stockist carries only the Lake Country 7.5" Dual density Variable contact pads.



They look to be designed for a rotary buffer rather than a DA





Any ideas whether they can / should be used with a PC?



Are they on a par with the Sonus SFX pads?

You would want the 6.5s for a PC.

Careful because the pads LCM label 6.5" most vendors label 7.5". 6.5" is the backing plat area and the 7.5" is the whole pad diameter.

yes they can, I like using the finishing ones for sealant and wax, they wrap round curvey panels really well!

Hm.... I'm using the "6.5"/7.5 VC pads on my PC... am I making a mistake?

When I ordered the 7.5"s white LC VC pads from you they say 6.5" on the inside of the pad. I was a bit confused at first, but now I understand.



So to sum it up order the 7.5" LC VC pads and they will fit your standard PC backing plate.



They are an excellent pad and if you check in Danase's section of the forum you will find a nice discount code.
