The Standard Duty Orbital Pads, or "SDO", from Lake Country Manufacturing meet the requests and recommendations of many detailers. The idea was to utilize the high-quality foam from HDO pads without the well-known backing layer. This manufacturing method makes the popular foam more attractive to cost-conscious buyers. It should also be noted that the heat generation of modern Flex and Rupes orbital polishers remains low thanks 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, despite the foam being open-pored. This characteristic allows for more efficient polish usage with CCS pads. The polish penetrates into the pocket but not into the pad itself, allowing for substantially longer working times. At the same time, the cell structure is better cooled, preventing the pad from drying out due to the polish. With the new SDO CCS pads, both technologies are available in one pad series. The US manufacturer surprises the market by keeping the production costs at the same level as "ordinary" 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. Even with large throw and high oscillation rates, such as with the Rupes LHR21e Mark III, the pads remain stable and operate smoothly. The SDO CCS Pad Orange Medium is designed for removing medium paint defects while providing good finishing What makes Lake Country foam pads so unique? Extremely high durability and thus high operational smoothness are notable factors of Lake Country pads. Especially in medium cut and finishing, it is the excellent working feel that Lake Country foam offers, leading to consistently perfect results!

Lake Country has revolutionized the way of uncompromising paint correction with its Collapsed Cell Structure Pads - known as CCS Pads. These flat foam polishing pads are designed for both dual-action polishers and forced rotation polishers, featuring a patented surface design. Importantly, CCS Pads are also suitable for rotary polishers, especially when their cutback shape creates a larger polishing surface on a smaller backing plate. All CCS Pads available from the official distributor Chemical-Shark.de are produced in cutback shape. Patented CCS Cell Structure Offers Numerous Advantages The surface of CCS Pads is equipped with small pockets, the interiors of which have a closed cell structure due to a special process, while the foam of the polishing pad remains open-pore. This allows for a more economical use of polish with CCS Pads. The polish penetrates into the pocket but does not soak into the polishing pad, allowing for significantly longer processing times. At the same time, the cell structure stays cooler, and the pad does not dry out due to drying polish. Suitable for All Paint Types: Lake Country CCS Polishing Pads from Chemical-Shark.de Known among experts as "Smart Pads", these polishing pads are suitable for all paint types. This includes scratch-resistant clear coats from Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Porsche, as well as more sensitive vintage car paints without a clear coat layer. Lake Country CCS Polishing Pads in Various Hardness Levels and Sizes Yellow: Designed for maximum cut, removing scratches, swirls, and oxidation. Perfect for quick paint defect corrections. Orange: Medium cut, removing medium paint defects with good finishing. White: Fine, removing last paint defects for high-gloss finish. Black: Black finishing, very soft foam for high-gloss polishes and for applying and processing wax and sealants. Lake Country CCS Pads Available in All Sizes: Velcro backing, polishing surface: 75/90mm, 90/101mm, 125/140mm, 150/165mm. Perfectly suitable for polishers from manufacturers such as Flex, Rupes, Makita, Festool. Pad thickness: 22mm or 32mm. What Makes Lake Country Foam Pads So Unique?

Especially with medium-cut and finishing, it is the uniquely good working feel provided by the Lake Country foam that leads to consistently perfect results!

The new HDO CCS pads from market leader Lake Country combine two of the best technologies for high-quality polishing work. HDO pads have been regarded as the unrivaled benchmark in the industry for years due to their combination of durable foam materials, heat dissipation, and pressure stability. HDO stands for "Heavy Duty Orbital," indicating that this technology was primarily developed for modern dual-action and forced rotation polishing machines. Another key technology is provided by Lake Country with CCS, meaning Collapsed Cell Structure. The surface of CCS is equipped with small pockets that feature a closed cell structure in their interior through a special process, even though the foam of the polishing pad is open-pored. This property allows for significantly more polish efficiency when using CCS pads. The polish penetrates into the pocket but not into the polishing pad, enabling it to be processed for a much longer period. At the same time, the cell structure is better cooled, and the pad does not dry out due to drying polish. With the new HDO CCS pads, both technologies are available in a single pad series. The US manufacturer surprises the market as the manufacturing cost is comparable to that of "regular" HDO pads. Pressure Distribution and Shape Design at the Highest Level: Lake Country HDO CCS Pads From 130mm, the Lake Country HDO CCS pads feature a heat-dissipating center chamber with a milling hole for further cooling and precise positioning. Although the Lake Country HDO CCS pads are 30-40% more expensive than the newer Lake Country SDO pads, the price difference is justified, especially when used with forced rotation machines like the Flex XCE 10-8 or the Rupes LK900e mille. Lake Country foams are also less sensitive and easier to clean when using newer high-performance polishes such as 3D ACA-XTRA 510 or 3D One Hybrid. Optimized for Consistent Polishing Performance and High Durability: Lake Country HDO CCS at Chemical-Shark.de The high-quality foam of the SDO and HDO polishing pads ensures consistent polishing performance and high durability. Even with a large stroke and high oscillation speed, such as with the Rupes LHR21e Mark III, the pads remain shape-stable and run smoothly. The HDO CCS Pads Are Available in 3 Different Foams Blue: Designed for maximum cut, removal of scratches, swirls, and oxidation. Perfect for quick paint defect corrections. Orange: Medium cut, removal of medium paint defects with good finishing. Black: Black Finishing, very soft foam for high-gloss polishes and for applying and processing wax and sealants.

Ledermax LMX Reinigungs- und Pflege-Sets für Leder und Kunstleder beinhalten die Testsieger Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1, Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0, Ledermax LMX Reinigungs-Schwamm und Ledermax LMX Auftrags-Applikator. Ledermax LMX Reiniger für Leder, Kunstleder, Alcantara #1.1 intensiv Man könnte meinen, Ledermax LMX #1.1 sei eine verstärkte oder weiterentwickelte Version von Ledermax LMX #1.0. Beides jedoch ist nicht der Fall. Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1 wurde als intensiver Reiniger als Hochkonzentrat für stark verschmutzte Leder entwickelt. Das erstaunliche am Produkt, trotz einer unvergleichlich hohen Reinigungskraft, ist das Produkt mit einem pH-Wert von 7,8 nahezu pH-neutral und greift daher das Top-Coat, also die oberste Schicht der Lederfärbung bzw. Lederzurichtung nicht an. Die spezielle Formulierung trocknet das Leder auch nicht aus, so dass es nach der Reinigung geschmeidig ist und ideal vorbereitet ist für die Lederpflege Ledermax Conditioner #2.0. Perfekte Pflege beginnt mit der richtigen Reinigung: Ledermax LMX #1.1 Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1 ist ein hochergiebiger Lederreiniger, der nicht mit anderen Produkten vergleicht werden kann. Das Produkt erzielt bei minimalem Verbrauch bereits eine intensiver Reinigungsleistung. Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1 löst starke Verschmutzungen aller Art. Ledermax LMX Pflege Leder, Kunstleder Conditioner #2.0 Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 ist ein multifunktionale Lederpflege für neuere Leder und Kunstleder. Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 hinterlässt einen matten atmungsaktiven Schutzfilm, der das Leder pflegt, schützt und konserviert. Da seit Mitte/Ende der 1990iger Jahre Leder nahezu ausschließlich mit antifogging Materialien gefärbt und zugerichtet werden, ist eine nachfettende Lederpflege unsinnig und kontraproduktiv. Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 wurde für aktuelle Leder und Kunstleder entwickelt und zeichnet sich durch eine Reihe von Schutzfunktionen aus. Dazu zählen hauptsächlich ein hoher UV-Schutz, Antiknarz (verhindert lästige Knack- und Knarz Geräuche), Antisoiling (verhindert die Neuverschmutzung), Antioxidantien (verhindert mikrobakteriellen Abbau). Neuwertig, matter Look mit Schutzversiegelung: Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 Mit Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 behandeltes Leder und Kunstleder fühlt sich neuwertig an. Die Pflege ist nicht klebrig und nicht fettig. Durch die Kombination aus Schutz- und Pflegefunktionen wird das Top-Coat (oberste Schicht der Leder- und Kunstlederlackierung) versiegelt. Die Schutzschicht hält ca. 6 Monate und baut sich mit der Zeit rückstandsfrei und gesundheitlich unbedenklich über die Benutzung ab und kann dann erneuert werden. Selbst hartnäckige Verunreinigungen wie Abfärbungen, Stiftstriche oder ähnliche Flecken lassen sich bereits mit milden Reinigern entfernen oder einfach mit einem sanftem Baumwolltuch abnehmen. Ledermax LMX Reinigungs-Schwamm Lederpflege gelb Für die Reinigung von Leder setzt der österreichische Spezialist für Lederpflege auf die Verwendung von Schwämme. Der abrasive Reinigungsschwamm ist gleichermaßen saugfähig, Reinigungsemulsion abgegebend, abrasiv zum Schmutz und schonend zum Top-Coat. Gerade bei der Reinigung stärker verschmutzter Leder ist es sinnvoll, mit einem Schwamm die Verschmutzung anzulösen und gleichzeitig abzutransportieren.

Ledermax LMX Reinigungs- und Pflege-Sets für Leder und Kunstleder beinhalten die Testsieger Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1, Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0, Ledermax LMX Reinigungs-Schwamm und Ledermax LMX Auftrags-Applikator. Ledermax LMX Reiniger für Leder, Kunstleder, Alcantara #1.1 intensiv Man könnte meinen, Ledermax LMX #1.1 sei eine verstärkte oder weiterentwickelte Version von Ledermax LMX #1.0. Beides jedoch ist nicht der Fall. Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1 wurde als intensiver Reiniger als Hochkonzentrat für stark verschmutzte Leder entwickelt. Das erstaunliche am Produkt, trotz einer unvergleichlich hohen Reinigungskraft, ist das Produkt mit einem pH-Wert von 7,8 nahezu pH-neutral und greift daher das Top-Coat, also die oberste Schicht der Lederfärbung bzw. Lederzurichtung nicht an. Die spezielle Formulierung trocknet das Leder auch nicht aus, so dass es nach der Reinigung geschmeidig ist und ideal vorbereitet ist für die Lederpflege Ledermax Conditioner #2.0. Perfekte Pflege beginnt mit der richtigen Reinigung: Ledermax LMX #1.1 Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1 ist ein hochergiebiger Lederreiniger, der nicht mit anderen Produkten vergleicht werden kann. Das Produkt erzielt bei minimalem Verbrauch bereits eine intensiver Reinigungsleistung. Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.1 löst starke Verschmutzungen aller Art. Ledermax LMX Pflege Leder, Kunstleder Conditioner #2.0 Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 ist ein multifunktionale Lederpflege für neuere Leder und Kunstleder. Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 hinterlässt einen matten atmungsaktiven Schutzfilm, der das Leder pflegt, schützt und konserviert. Da seit Mitte/Ende der 1990iger Jahre Leder nahezu ausschließlich mit antifogging Materialien gefärbt und zugerichtet werden, ist eine nachfettende Lederpflege unsinnig und kontraproduktiv. Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 wurde für aktuelle Leder und Kunstleder entwickelt und zeichnet sich durch eine Reihe von Schutzfunktionen aus. Dazu zählen hauptsächlich ein hoher UV-Schutz, Antiknarz (verhindert lästige Knack- und Knarz Geräuche), Antisoiling (verhindert die Neuverschmutzung), Antioxidantien (verhindert mikrobakteriellen Abbau). Neuwertig, matter Look mit Schutzversiegelung: Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 Mit Ledermax LMX Conditioner #2.0 behandeltes Leder und Kunstleder fühlt sich neuwertig an. Die Pflege ist nicht klebrig und nicht fettig. Durch die Kombination aus Schutz- und Pflegefunktionen wird das Top-Coat (oberste Schicht der Leder- und Kunstlederlackierung) versiegelt. Die Schutzschicht hält ca. 6 Monate und baut sich mit der Zeit rückstandsfrei und gesundheitlich unbedenklich über die Benutzung ab und kann dann erneuert werden. Selbst hartnäckige Verunreinigungen wie Abfärbungen, Stiftstriche oder ähnliche Flecken lassen sich bereits mit milden Reinigern entfernen oder einfach mit einem sanftem Baumwolltuch abnehmen. Ledermax LMX Reinigungs-Schwamm Lederpflege gelb Für die Reinigung von Leder setzt der österreichische Spezialist für Lederpflege auf die Verwendung von Schwämme. Der abrasive Reinigungsschwamm ist gleichermaßen saugfähig, Reinigungsemulsion abgegebend, abrasiv zum Schmutz und schonend zum Top-Coat. Gerade bei der Reinigung stärker verschmutzter Leder ist es sinnvoll, mit einem Schwamm die Verschmutzung anzulösen und gleichzeitig abzutransportieren. Hierfür hat der Leder-Guru Herwig Grabner eine eigene Schaumstoffstruktur entwickelt. Der Ledermax LMX Reinigungs-Schwamm ist speziell für die Verwendung mit Ledermax LMX Reiniger #1.0 und #1.1 entwickelt worden, kann aber auch mit anderen Produkten verwendet werden.

LUMINUS Diamond PRO Ceramic Elastomer Coating 50ml is the most advanced sealing solution in the LUMINUS portfolio, designed for maximum chemical resistance and versatile applications. Its unique formula combines ceramic elastomer technology with nano-carbon particles as a solid component, creating an extremely durable yet flexible protective layer. This flexibility makes it particularly favored for use on vehicle wraps and sensitive surfaces, as it adapts perfectly and prevents cracking. Highest chemical resistance in the LUMINUS portfolio – resistant to aggressive acidic and alkaline cleaners Ceramic elastomer technology with nano-carbon particles for maximum flexibility and protection Ideal for wraps thanks to its elastic structure – prevents cracking and remains stable over time Self-healing effect for minor scratches, especially when used with PPF protective films Extremely long-lasting up to 5 years on paint and wrap High paint smoothness and hydrophobic properties, even on pre-sealed surfaces In our tests, the LUMINUS Diamond PRO Ceramic Elastomer Coating demonstrated impressively high resistance to the harshest alkaline and acidic cleaners. The surface boasted noticeably high paint smoothness and pronounced hydrophobicity – even on already pre-sealed wraps. These attributes make it the ideal choice for the highest protection requirements and delicate surfaces. The manufacturer promotes the LUMINUS Diamond PRO Ceramic Elastomer Coating with self-healing effects, which – at least with very fine scratches – can indeed show a filling effect. In practice, however, this effect is most evident when the coating is used in conjunction with a PPF protective film. Through this synergy, the coating can last for many years on the film surface. Regardless of the substrate – whether paint or wrap – a durability of up to five years is to be expected.

LUMINUS Eclipse Wax Carnauba Wax LUMINUS Eclipse Wax is a premium carnauba wax designed for enthusiasts, detailers, and anyone who appreciates the classic wax finish.

Presented in a high-quality acrylic glass jar with magnetic sealing, it not only provides optimal protection but also stands out visually on any detailing shelf. This unique presentation is almost unparalleled in the industry, making Eclipse Wax a special product for collectors and wax lovers who value exclusivity. Why High-Quality Car Wax Still Shines Today Despite the rise of ceramic coatings and modern sealants, premium carnauba waxes maintain a solid spot in professional vehicle care. Many enthusiasts cherish the warm, deep glow that carnauba provides, which synthetic coatings often can't replicate. Particularly on classic, solid, and high-end metallic paints, it creates a captivating depth effect. Classic cars, youngtimers, and collector vehicles especially benefit from premium wax. It protects without forming permanent chemical bonds, keeping the paint easy to maintain or fully cleanable of old wax layers – crucial for historic or original finishes. Besides its outstanding shine, LUMINUS Eclipse Wax excels functionally. Its pronounced beading forms perfectly shaped water drops, while fast sheeting ensures quick water drainage. This means less residual water, reduced dirt adhesion, and easier washing. Moreover, carnauba is a renewable resource, harvested from Brazilian carnauba palm leaves. This natural wax combines excellent protection with sustainability. For many car lovers, premium carnauba wax is more than a sealant – it's a tradition of hand-crafted care, passion, and ultimate aesthetics.

LUMINUS Graphene PRO Coating 50 ml is a high-end paint sealant designed for professionals and dedicated vehicle care enthusiasts. Developed with advanced graphene technology, it offers an uncompromising combination of maximum surface hardness, intense color depth, and exceptional durability. The coating creates an extremely resilient, chemical-resistant protective layer with pronounced hydrophobic and antistatic properties, which not only protects the paint long-term but also significantly facilitates vehicle cleaning. High chemical resistance Deep gloss & color intensification Strong hydrophobic & antistatic Up to 3 years durability High layer thickness due to graphene In our tests, the LUMINUS Graphene PRO Coating proved to be exceptionally resilient – it showed no weaknesses even against aggressive acidic and alkaline cleaners. The paint surface consistently impressed with remarkable smoothness and extreme hydrophobicity. Unlike many comparable graphene products, the PRO version, thanks to its special antistatic additives, also effectively defends against dust buildup, which often occurs during the summer months – a key advantage for a consistently clean vehicle surface. Particularly impressive about the LUMINUS Graphene PRO Coating is the extraordinary color intensification and the deep mirror-like gloss that emerges after application. The included graphene solid particles create an above-average layer thickness on the paint surface, responsible for this impressive optical performance. This effect is especially noticeable on dark or vividly colored paints – it ranks among the most intense we've observed in a coating so far. The manufacturer indicates a durability of up to three years for the LUMINUS Graphene PRO Graphene Coating – a figure that has already proven to be realistic in practice. With consistent maintenance and careful hand washing, however, experience shows that a significantly longer lifespan can be achieved. The stable layer structure and high chemical resistance of the coating suggest the potential for top-notch performance over several years.

The LUMINUS Graphene SP Spray V2.0 Graphene Coating (200ml) is an innovative spray sealant designed for the highest demands in vehicle care. With its advanced Graphene technology, it combines outstanding protection with impressive deep gloss and very easy application. The unique formula forms a resilient protective layer over the paint, offering long-lasting protection against UV rays, dirt, water, and chemical influences. As a modern Anti-Pollution Coating, this product actively suppresses re-soiling due to its extremely hydrophobic and dirt-repellent properties. At the same time, the high smoothness of the surface ensures that the vehicle is easier to clean and stays clean longer – ideal for car enthusiasts and professional detailers who demand maximum performance. Extremely hydrophobic and dirt-repellent (Anti-Pollution Coating) High gloss and intense color deepening, particularly on dark paints High chemical resistance, even against acidic and solvent-based cleaners Very economical: approx. 20 ml is sufficient for a complete vehicle Up to 12 months protection with proper application and hand wash We personally met the Korean manufacturer Luminus at Automechanika 2024 in Frankfurt. In an open and exceptionally friendly atmosphere, we were handed numerous products for testing – including the first version of the spray sealant SP Spray 1.0. After application, we found that the hydrophobic properties initially did not develop as expected. Our feedback was taken seriously and Luminus informed us that full curing could take up to five days – a detail that fundamentally changed our assessment. The revised Version 2.0 cures significantly faster and has since been regularly used in our demanding tests. In all tests, LUMINUS Graphene SP Spray V2.0 demonstrated outstanding durability – even against aggressive cleaners. The achieved surface smoothness and the pronounced dirt and water repellency resemble more a high-quality ceramic coating than a conventional spray sealant. Despite a price of around 50 euros for 200 ml, the product proves to be economical, as it is extremely efficient. When applied as recommended with a dispenser and applicator, even a small amount is sufficient for complete vehicle sealing. In combination with regular hand washing, a durability of up to one year can be achieved – a clear advantage over many conventional products. The delivery includes two spray heads and one dispenser. The oily consistency allows application on multiple vehicle areas simultaneously. After an air-drying time of 5 to 10 minutes, the surface is polished with a microfiber cloth, followed by a second, pressure-free polishing process after another five minutes for a perfect high-gloss finish. After application, the vehicle should rest for at least 12 hours in a garage or protected environment to allow the sealant to fully cure. A chemical wash should be avoided in the first seven days to ensure the product's full performance.

Grit Guard® bucket inserts have been designed for nearly standardized US wash buckets and thus also fit into the new buckets from Magic Bucket.

Own Washing Utensils Forbidden at the Wash Station? - How the Wash Park Operator Becomes Your "Best Buddy"!
