Uber Foam Pad Experience?

Anybody here have any experience using the Uber foam pads from Detailers Domain? I searched and couldn't find anything.



I have read some mixed reviews about the Lake Country pads that have the dimples in them. Thought I might give the Uber pads a try as a more traditional pad. (Getting my first PC soon...have never used one before)
 
Take my advice, do not get the LC pads with dimples in them. I bought a bunch of them for my first set of pads and now I have to buy more because those pads don't work very well for me at all. They let the polish build up in the dimples and it makes it even harder to tell when the polish has been completely worked. I don't recommend those pads, but if you want to try them, be my guest. I think I'm gonna spring for the uber foam pads.

+1 same reason I dumped all of my LC ccs pads. The Hydro pads are also good.
 
i had the same question regarding the uber pads. Some people love them some people say the foam feels not quit as good as the LC flat pads.



I have LC CCS pads now but have been dying to switch over to flat pads.

I have both and the Uber flat pads are a lot nicer to work with IMO.

For Rotary use, which size do you guys recommend ( Uber foam type) ... 5.5" or 6.5" ?

I run 6.5" pads with my Rotary . . . . . but would like to get a couple different size pads/backing for tighter areas.

Thanks for the answer. :2thumbs:





I'm not 100% sure which size to take. I'm assuming that a 5.5" will get me "better" or "faster" results than a 6.5" even if i'm using a rotary(makita 9927C)

But for now, my "main" concerns is : if i don't ABSOLUTELY need 6.5", i'll be buying 5.5" since i'll save 12$ for a 5pack versus 6.5".



Detailers Domain:

5pack 5.5" pads = 34.99$

5pack 6.5" pads = 46.99$



I'm planning to buy 1 pack of Orange, 1 pack of Green, 1 pack of Blue.



What you guys think ? would like to get different opinions =)

:ca:



P.S. I just realised that DD is not a sponsor from here anymore ... anyone know a "coupon" code for savings ? :)

5.5" pads will still work very well. I also use a Makita 9927C. I think IMO that 5.5" pads would be a great size . . . . . still covering a decent amount of area yet being the pad is a little smaller it will correct a tad bit quicker then the 6.5"



If i were you i would most likely go:



(1) Pack Orange

(1) Pack White

(1) Pack Blue



the green for the most part really isn't necessary but it depends on what type of details you are doing.



Most people on here i have noticed don't even use yet alone mention green.
 
Phil's products at detailer's domain are phenomenal. The pads are amazing. They don't fall apart and they feel much easier to clean. I use all of his Uber products and you can't go wrong.

Others correct me if i'm wrong, but the green and the white are the same type of pad, a polish pad. It's the same cut.

Some vendor sold White and other sold Green.



If you look at DD, they do not sell white pad.
 
The Uber EDIT:green cuts and finishes just like LC white - in fact LC makes them



The german green CSS i think you're referring to is a different type of foam compared to the white.



The german green onsome soft paints might micro mar whereas the LC white more than likely wont.



Fixed

Where do you see Uber white ?



Uber foam pads



I'm refering to those pad.
 
I'd shoot Phil an email and ask him. He's really could about responding to inquiries.

I just compared the Uber Green and the LC CSS white. While I doubt my thumbs are properly calibrated to measure foam densities, the Uber Greeen definitely feels softer and is less dense than the LCC White.

SOrry guys, I typed incorrectly.

Im fixing my other post.
 
Wow, I had no idea my question would get so many responses. Thanks everybody! Looks like I will be giving the Uber pads a try.

Phil is great. He has literally got back to me in minutes before. In case anyone is interested I asked him what different pads he uses. This is his response.



Phil,



I've noticed on a lot of your cars use Menz SIP and PO85. What is your typical pad selection and process that you use?



Also, can I use the blue pad for applying waxes or should only the black be used.



Thanks





sure thing.



we use yellow or green on sip

and blue on 85rd
