What's better with the SSR line --> Propels or the lake country pads

I hear alot of good talk about Lake country nowadays.



I was about to purchase the propels but I'm now reconsidering.



Any thoughts on which pads ( propel or Lake country) will be more effective using the SSR line of polishes?



Thanx.
 
I have not tried the propel pads but the Lake Country VC pads and Megs pads work terrifically well. :xyxthumbs



I find the LC pads to have the highest quality construction.
 
I have a set of Propel pads that I use with the SSR's and I think they work really well. I am very happy with my set of pads, and if you get them from Patrick he is a really great guy to deal with too. Only thing is SSR1 stained my green propel pad, but it is my understanding that SSR1 will stain just about anything, so it is kind of a moot point. I guess my point is I have the SSR's and Propel pads and really like the combo. I dont think you will see a significant difference between the results if you are using propel or LC pads if you are going to be using the SSR's with them both.
 
I have the Sonus (Propel) pads and they are great. After my first use they still look brand new and worked very well.
 
You tell em patrick!



I have the Propels and they're great, in terms of price and everything else.



I've heard people complaining about the LC's coming apart, never had this with my Propel ones though.

Im not saying one is better then the other, Im just saying there not one in the same......;)
 
I use the Propel pads with the SSRs. No problems here. I don't think a brand of pad is going to make a difference in how your polishes work.

Is that why they look identical right down to how the velcro is applied, the "hole" in the middle, the exact shape of the edges, and each color pad matches and corresponds?



Maybe I'm wrong but I see way too many similarities. I'm not sure who Excel gets their pads from nor Sonus. Just saying they look A LOT alike.:cool:

I'm pretty sure he knows where Excel gets their pads from.:lol
 
Im waiting to compare them both side by side. Have the Sonus ones and am getting some Propel ones in a GB.
 
Most pads these days come from LC. The only difference is the type of foam and aggressiveness of each type.



LC DA/Sonus SFX foam vs Sonus DAS/Propel type foam.



The former seem to be better with water-based polishes, work the polish longer and leave a better finish, and are hydroscopic, while the latter tend to work the polish quicker and dust a bit more.

Of course your stating your opinion based on your working techniques and conditions. Dusting is not indicative of pad nature, but more so of product nature......



Theres not a pad that Im aware of that wont initially "flake" a little, this is due to foam processing techniques and is not considered a flaw, just a naturally occuring phase and dissipates.



As for the statement "Most pads these days come from LC", is that due to availability or popularity?

I didn't say that. All I said is they are extremely similar and unless he is making his own pads in house then I don't believe that is an accurate statement.:)



And I'm still waiting on his reply to my other post.:cool:
 
Yeah, not many pad suppliers out there, SM Arnold, Buff n Shine and Amercian Buffing are others but in the end all, technique is what's going to help yield the most significant results.
 
Bill D,



I'm having a terrible time learing the PC to polish effectively. its taking way too long. I read a couple tips and the Autopia "How-To" on PC-ing.



Do you know any good tips/techniques to most effectively use the PC?



Thanx, :)

Me ? What post....Im not disputing "similarities".

Maybe we should start with differences?



Maybe your first reply just came off the wrong way.



If they are "similar" I might be picking up a few of your pads ;)
