Full Description

This Foam Pad Conditioning Brush removes excess, caked polish and restores the usable texture to your foam pads in seconds. An angled handle and textured grip give you excellent leverage as you press the brush against a spinning pad. Don’t stop working, clean the pad and keep polishing!

Foam buffing pads become stiff and caked with wax and polish after just one use. If you look closely at the texture of a new foam pad, you’ll see that it is composed of thousands of tiny hollow cells. This varied texture provides polishing action as the pad spins. Wax and polish get caked in these compartments, making the texture of the pad smooth and therefore ineffective. This ergonomically designed Foam Conditioning Brush scrubs wax and polishes out of the foam and restores its original texture.

This handy orange brush is made with a set of stiff bristles that easily pull caked and dried products out of the foam pad. And the specially shaped handle makes it comfortable to grip and keeps your hand away from the spinning buffer.

To use, hold the buffer pad side up and place the brush on the pad as it spins. The brush will quickly clean the pad and restore its texture so you can keep buffing. No more stopping to replace a pad halfway through buffing your vehicle!

Similar steel brushes made for cleaning wool pads cannot be used on foam. This Conditioning Brush is designed specifically for foam pads, but can be used on wool, too.

If you’ve got a big detailing job ahead of you, keep this Conditioning Brush handy. It will save you time by allowing you to buff or compound longer without changing the pad. Also use it to agitate pads when you are washing them. Just be sure to rinse the brush and let it dry before using it on a dry pad again.

The Brand

Lake Country

Lake Country Manufacturing is a privately owned American maker of buffing and polishing pads, based in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Its roots go back to Milwaukee Tanning, which made sheepskin buffing pads, and in 1977 Jim Schneider bought that business and renamed it Lake Country. It went on to develop the first foam pads offered in the US market, and today it works from an 82,000-square-foot building and holds around 170 US and international patents, including its CCS foam technology and its pad washers.

Every Lake Country pad design goes through more than 200 hours of lab and field testing before it reaches detailers. In 2015 Lake Country expanded its international presence, particularly in the United Kingdom, and opened a global training centre to teach buffing and polishing.

We stock the Lake Country pads our customers use most, led by the SDO-CCS Orange polishing pad, the HDO-CCS Orange polishing pad, the HDO One Step microfibre pad and the Low Lint Lambswool pad.

Which Lake Country pad do you need?

Lake Country sorts its pads by the machine they suit and by how hard they cut.

HDO (Heavy Duty Orbital). Made for long-throw orbital polishers, ideally 15mm or 21mm. A high-density foam layer in the middle transfers more of the machine's movement to the pad face and keeps heat down, and the tapered edge stops the pad rolling on curved panels. Choose Blue heavy polishing, Orange polishing or Black finishing.

SDO (Standard Duty Orbital). The same foams as HDO without the dual layer, for any random orbital DA polisher with a centre-vented backing plate. The centre hole lets heat escape so the paint runs cooler. Choose Blue heavy polishing, Orange polishing or Black finishing.

CCS foam. CCS pads have a pattern of pockets that hold polish and feed it back to the surface instead of letting the foam soak it up, and the pockets cut down friction heat. Both the HDO and SDO pads above are CCS pads.

Microfibre. Lake Country also makes the Microfibre Cutting Pad and Microfibre Polishing Pads. The One Step (OSP) microfibre pads and the HDO One Step pad are for dual action polishers and remove moderate defects, swirl marks, light oxidation and holograms while leaving a high-gloss finish.

Wool. Lake Country's knitted Low Lint Lambswool pad cuts quickly and sheds far less lint than traditional tufted wool, and the purple Foamed Wool pad and thin Foamed Wool pad sit close to a one-step pad, with similar cut and finish. There is also an 8-inch double-sided wool cutting pad.

Pad colours are not universal across brands, so an orange Lake Country pad will not cut the same as an orange pad from another maker. Match the pad to the job, then the polish to the pad.

Shop Lake Country by type: heavy cut foam pads, medium cut foam pads, finishing foam pads, microfibre pads, wool pads and pad cleaning.

Looking after your polishing pads

A dirty pad on clean paint can put in more marks than it takes out, so pad care is part of the job. Lake Country's care advice:

  • Clean pads as you work. The System 4000 Pad Washer lets you clean a pad and carry on without leaving the job.
  • Never clean foam pads with a pressure washer or high-pressure air, as it damages the foam.
  • Machine wash no more than 10 pads at a time with Snappy Clean Boost powder, in cold or warm water only, because hot water can shrink the hook-and-loop backing. Take the pads out as soon as the cycle ends and let them air dry.
  • Microfibre pads can be cleaned with compressed air, but wear a dust mask and eye protection.
  • Wool pads can be brushed clean. If you wash them, use cold or warm water, as hot water shrinks wool.

How many pads? For a family saloon, Lake Country suggests more than five cutting pads and at least two finishing pads, so you always have a fresh, cool pad ready.

Not sure which pad suits your machine and paint? Ask us in our Ilkeston shop or on WhatsApp. We deliver Lake Country pads across the UK by Royal Mail Tracked 24, free on orders from £100, or you can order online and collect from the shop.
