The Lake Country CCS Pads have revolutionized the approach to uncompromising paint corrections. These flat foam polishing pads are designed for both dual-action and forced rotation polishers, featuring a patented surface design. Notably, CCS Pads are also compatible with rotary polishers, especially when their cutback shape creates a larger polishing surface on smaller backing plates. All CCS Pads available from the official distributor Chemical-Shark.de are produced in a cutback shape. Patented CCS Cell Structure Offers Numerous Benefits The surface of CCS Pads is designed with small pockets that have a closed cell structure due to a special process, while the foam itself remains open-pored. This allows for a significantly more efficient use of polish, as the polish enters the pocket but does not penetrate into the pad, enabling much longer application time. Simultaneously, the cell structure stays cooler, and the pad can’t dry out from the polish. Suitable for All Paint Types: Lake Country CCS Pads from Chemical-Shark.de Referred to as "Smart Pads" by enthusiasts, these polishing pads are compatible with all types of paint, including scratch-resistant clear coats from Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Porsche, as well as more delicate vintage paints without a clear coat. Lake Country CCS Pads Available in Various Degrees of Hardness and Sizes Yellow: Designed for maximum cutting power, scratch, swirl, and oxidation removal. Perfect for quick paint defect corrections. Orange: Medium cut, suitable for the removal of moderate paint defects with good finishing results. White: Fine, for the removal of final paint defects and achieving a high-gloss finish. Black: Black finishing, featuring very soft foam for high-gloss polishing and for applying and working with waxes and sealants. We Keep Lake Country CCS Pads in All Available Sizes in Stock: Hook-and-loop backing pad sizes: 75/90mm, 90/101mm, 125/140mm, 150/165mm.

Ideal for quick defect correction Orange: Medium cut, removes moderate defects with good finishing Black: Black finishing, very soft foam for high gloss polishes and waxing/sealing Lake Country’s new HDO CCS pads combine two of their best technologies for top-tier polishing. HDO pads set the industry benchmark for durability, heat dissipation & consistent pressure on modern dual-action and forced orbital polishers. HDO means "Heavy Duty Orbital," designed especially for modern polishers. CCS stands for Collapsed Cell Structure, featuring tiny pockets on the surface with closed-cell interiors via a special process, while the foam remains open-pored. This lets CCS pads use polish more economically as polish soaks into the pocket but not the pad, extending working time. It also improves cooling and prevents pads from drying out. The new HDO CCS pads deliver both technologies in one series at the price of standard HDO pads, surprising the market. Top-Level Pressure Distribution & Design: Lake Country HDO CCS Pads From 130mm, HDO CCS pads include a heat-dissipating center chamber and a milling hole for extra cooling and precise positioning. Though 30-40% pricier than newer Lake Country SDO pads, HDO CCS pads justify the cost especially with forced orbitals like Flex XCE 10-8 or Rupes LK900e mille. Lake Country foams are also tough and easy to clean with modern high-performance polishes like 3D ACA-XTRA 510 or 3D One Hybrid. Consistent Polishing Performance & High Durability: Lake Country HDO CCS at Chemical-Shark.de High-quality SDO and HDO foam keeps polish performance stable and pads shape-retentive, even with large strokes and high oscillations such as on Rupes LHR21e Mark III, ensuring smooth running.

With the Standard Duty Orbital Pads - known as "SDO" - Lake Country Manufacturing responds to a request from many detailers. The idea was to use the high-quality foam of the HDO pads without the underlying structure. This production method makes the popular foam appealing to cost-conscious buyers. It's important to mention that heat buildup with modern Flex and Rupes dual-action polishers remains LOW due to new drive and design generations. Another key technology provided by Lake Country is CCS, which stands for Collapsed Cell Structure. The surface of CCS is equipped with small pockets that feature a closed-cell structure inside, although the foam itself is otherwise open-pored. This characteristic allows for more efficient polish use with CCS pads. The polish enters the pocket but not the pad, enabling longer working times. Simultaneously, the cellular structure remains cooler, preventing the pad from drying out due to drying polish. The new SDO CCS pads combine both technologies in one pad series. The US manufacturer surprises the market by pricing these pads at the same level as "regular" SDO pads. Optimized for Consistent Polishing Performance and High Durability: Lake Country SDO CCS at Chemical-Shark.de The high-quality foam of the SDO and HDO polishing pads ensures consistent polishing performance and high durability.

With the Collapsed Cell Structure Pads - short CCS Pads - Lake Country has revolutionized the art of uncompromising paint corrections. CCS Pads are flat foam polishing pads designed for dual action and forced rotation polishers, featuring a patented surface design. It's worth mentioning that CCS Pads can also be used with rotary polishers, especially because their cutback shape allows for a larger polishing area on smaller backing plates.

The new HDO CCS pads from industry leader Lake Country combine two of their best technologies for high-quality polishing. HDO pads have long been the unmatched benchmark in the industry due to their combination of durable foams, heat dissipation, and pressure consistency. HDO stands for "Heavy Duty Orbital," indicating that this technology is primarily designed for modern dual-action and forced rotation polishers.
