Full Description

The 3in glass polishing pad is a thin white disc on a black hook-and-loop back, shown from both sides with a side view of how slim it is. It is the small size, for tight areas of glass. The larger one is the 5in pad.

Lake Country's glass discs level scratches, water spots and stubborn residue on windscreens and windows, with a rotary or a dual action polisher. The compressed material stays porous enough to hold the polish and cut sling. Keep the glass wet by misting it with water, because heat can distort or even crack glass, and work a small area back and forth. Lake Country gives 1,000 to 1,500 RPM for a rotary and 3,000 to 4,500 OPM for a dual action machine. Use a dedicated glass polish, as paint polishes can carry fillers or oils that are hard to clean off glass. The disc fixes by hook and loop and can be used again and 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.
