Full Description

Snappy Clean Boost Pad Cleaning Powder is a professional-grade cleaning solution designed to deep clean machine polishing pads, restoring cutting performance, pad balance and longevity. Formulated as a high-efficiency powdered cleaner, Boost breaks down spent compound, oils, paint residue and abrasive build-up that standard rinsing cannot remove.

Ideal for use on foam, microfibre and wool pads, this cleaner penetrates deep into pad fibres and cells, releasing contamination while remaining safe for repeated professional use. Regular cleaning with Boost helps maintain consistent correction results, reduces pad hopping and prevents premature pad failure.

Supplied in a large 5 litre tub, this format is perfect for detailing studios and high-volume users looking for a cost-effective, repeatable pad maintenance solution.

Cost-effective solution for regular pad maintenance

Recommended Dilution & Use:

  • Standard Cleaning:
    Add one scoop of powder to warm water and agitate pads until contamination is released.
  • Heavily Soiled Pads:
    Increase concentration and allow pads to soak for several minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
  • Final Step:
    Rinse pads with clean water and allow to air dry fully before reuse.

Exact dilution can be adjusted depending on pad condition and contamination level.


HQ Suggests (Tips & Insights):

  • 💡 Clean pads frequently during correction. A clean pad cuts faster and finishes better.
  • 💡 Warm water significantly improves cleaning efficiency when using pad powders.
  • 💡 Use separate soak buckets for cutting and finishing pads to avoid cross-contamination.
  • 💡 Spin pads dry on a machine at low speed after rinsing to speed up drying time.
  • 💡 Regular pad cleaning reduces polish dusting and improves panel temperature control.

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.
