Guys, since autopia is down, I'm in need of a quick ref.

I'am wetsanding with 2500 grit, I will be correction with a rotary. I already have the materials except for pads.

I have discussed with several members over on autopia to use LC pads.

However, which type of LC pads should I use? (Hydrotech etc.)

THanks!

 

CCS pads work very well, and will help keep the heat down. If you're polishing out 2500 grit sanding, it should come out fairly easily.

Thanks, and that is for the rotary right?
My steps will be

m105-Maroon Solo Wool
m105-orange
m205-White.
UF

 

Correct. Looks like you'll be in good shape.

 

Thanks john.

One more quick question before I place this order,
can you explain the difference between these

and the ccs you recomended

thanks once again!

 

If you're correcting with a rotary, I wouldn't recommend using such a small pad. Get a 6.5" CCS pad. Site sponsor Moe has them on the shelf.

Jeez, I forgot the size of my rotary.

Wonderful..

But in terms of cutting aility, do the ccs pads differ much from the flat pads?

 

Sorry for the delayed response...the CCS pads do a better job of dispersing the polish/compound on to the surface. The nice thing about the curved CCS pads we carry is their ability to contour curved areas of body panels.

You seem to have a good routine...orange and white pads should work well for you.

thanks alot moe! Guess I'll go with the CCS pads over the flat.

So that's it, the ccs curved is basically the same thing as the flat pads, but better for angles?

(I'll likely need this for a 76 Countach)

 

Pretty much. Let us know how the Lambo turns out.

 

Moe, thanks alot for your help! Will do! Plan on having pics..

 

You're welcome...look forward to seeing the pics.

 

moe! One more quick but very silly question

I don't have my box that says the size of the buffer (makita) however, on the plate on the buffer it says 7 inches.

Which size lake country should I go for?

 

is that a stock backing plate that you have if so you have the 7 inch one.

you would need to pick up a 6 inch backing plate for the 6.5 inch pads.

what out with the ccs pads as they tend to leave pig tails, make sure they are a clean up after a few passes. or just change up your pads. we noticed this a few years ago and stopped carrying them for the flat pads.

just some insight.

 

Yea, stock backing plate.

Thing is, I measured the plate and it's about 6.5?
