Need advice on new pads

Hello, I've been detailing for a while and I figured a long time ago it was easier on the wallet to ask for advice than it was to buy and try everything under the sun. The issue today is getting the best pad or pads to apply a LSP. Now, I like BFWD and as ya'll know, use it once and you just dedicated a pad just for that, and that would be a Gold LC one. I really have no complaints with that, but it's wearing out and looking at the choices from LC - you got Gray, Blue, Red, (in 5.5") and Gold in 6.5", all in that pimply pattern, I prefer flat. Then, no 5.5" flat, have to get 6.5" you have Blue, Gray,and Crimson. Really? I'm getting a little choice overload here. I have those Red pads (thin, pimply ones) and they're not up to my style shall we say. I'm ham fisted when it comes to applying wax and I know it, too damn old to change so don't go there. I use Autoglym HD right much too and that stuff will bleed right through those red pads and give your pretty blue velcro backing plate a nice coat of hard to get off wax.
So, need opinons - looking for something 5.5" preferably, stout enough to apply wax/sealant and not soak it up, but gentle so as not to mar the paint. Like Ross Perot - I'm all ears!

Thanks
Lou
 
The Lake Country Crimson Hydro Tech pad works great for me on a Flex 3401VRG in the 5.5" size. This pad is flat and comes in at least 3 sizes..

The Buff & Shine red pad (5.5") is very soft, but has is very dense so it doesn't absorb much LSP--it tends to ride on the surface of the pad and aids in spreading it evenly.
 
I think it's time to try Buff & Shine, a buddy told me about a sale going on and hey - for the money, I don't see how I can lose.
Thanks!
