Just introduced at Automechanika in Frankfurt, Germany, Lake Country’s new Kompressor Foam pads are being hailed as the most technologically advanced polishing pads in the world.
Each Kompressor pad starts as a block of foam that is contour cut on the top and bottom into a semi-arched shape. The pad face is then slotted in two directions while the foam is in this non-compressed, arched state.
A recessed opening is cut into the back of the pad to precisely center the backing plate. When attached to the backing plate, the pad flattens out, compressing the top surface and creating a dense working face (”Sweet Spot”).
Advantages of Kompressor pads
The advantages of Kompressor pads will be immediately evident to everyone from the first-time user to the seasoned professional. These advantages are:
* Slotted face constantly adjusts to surface contours
* Extended pad life
* Pad remains wetter, longer
* Recessed back centers backing plate and prevents marring the finish
* Perfect for newer, scratch-resistant clear coats
* Larger “Sweet Spot” increases cutting speed
* Less splatter
* More usable surface area
* Smoothest running pad ever -”Like floating on a cloud”
* Pads are easy to clean
Kompressor Pads are available in 5 levels of “bite”.
*Purple - This is the most aggressive foam pad Lake Country Mfg. offers.
In cutting power, it is roughly is equal to blended wool pads.
Use this pad with compounds like Menzerna Intensive Polish to remove deeper scratches and severe oxidation that does not come out with the white pad.
*White - The most often used pad. This pad has a mild cutting (cleaning) action and should be used to apply light compounds, polishes and one-step, cleaner/waxes.
Use this Hi-Gloss White, Kompressor Pad with BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish or Menzerna Final Polish II to maximize surface gloss.
This pad also works for applying one-step, polish/sealants like Klasse All-In-One and Autoglym Super Resin Polish.
*Black - This pad has very gentle cutting or cleaning action.
It should be used to apply a glaze or a finessing polish.
Use this Hi-Gloss Black Glazing Pad to apply Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze, 3M Imperial Hand Glaze, and Meguiar’s No. 7 Show Car Glaze.
You can also use this pad to apply Meguiar’s No. 3 Machine Polish and 3M Finesse-It II Machine Polish.
*Red - This pad has almost no cutting or cleaning action but is a softer foam than the black pad. It should be used to apply a glaze or a finessing polish.
Some detailers and body shops use both a machine polish and a glaze.
Having two colors of glazing pads allows them to dedicate a specific color pad for a specific product to avoid cross contamination.
*Gold - This super-soft pad is designed for applying the final wax or sealant to create the absolute best shine.
This gold foam is forty percent softer than the red glazing/finessing foam listed above (100 pores per inch compared to 60 pores per inch for the red foam).
The extra cell count means these gold pads disperse wax and sealants more evenly.
Take advantage of the most technologically advanced pads in the world.
You will not be disappointed with the results of these pads.
