Lake Country Hi-Gloss 5-1/2 inch CCS Pads for Conventional and Scratch-Resistant Clear Coats
![](http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/zoomzoommazda5/classic-motoring_2125_22827653.gif)
Lake Country Manufacturing, one of the world's largest manufacturer of foam polishing pads, has spent years working with automakers in Europe, Canada, the U.S. and Mexico and with polish suppliers to develop a new generation of foam polishing pads. The result is a patented technology they call CCS, Collapsed Cell Structures.
What is CCS Technology?
The new, harder, scratch-resistant clear coats require longer polishing times to remove swirls, spots and defects. The longer you polish with conventional foam pads, the less effective they become because polish migrates below the working surface of the pad. The pad "dries out."
![](http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/zoomzoommazda5/CCSPad-1.jpg)
CCS Technology solves this problem using strategic patterns of partially closed foam cells. These cells slow the rate of polish absorption, gradually releasing polish as needed by the operator. CCS pockets reduce surface tension, prevent pad skipping and allow the operator to run the pad flat on the working surface.
Professional results, even if you're a beginner
CCS Pads feature two, additional, design innovations. First, they continue to incorporate Constant Pressure™ technology.
Blue "Constant Pressure" foam backing
absorbs unwanted polishing motions.
Constant pressure may not be good for people but it's great for polishing pads where you want a uniform and constant pressure on the surface being polished. Professionals have learned through experience to keep their machines parallel to the surface being polished. Tilting the machine in any direction can result in an uneven and excessive pressure being transferred to the painted surface.

This new patented Constant Pressure technology uses a layer of engineered instant rebound foam between the pad and the backing plate to absorb off-axis movements while keeping the pressure of the pad on the surface constant.
Curved outer edge allows easy
transition over seams.
The other patented innovation incorporated in CCS Pads are a curved outer edge. The curvature on the outer edge of the pad allows easy transitions over seams and inclines.

Standard CCS pads are 1-1/4 inch thick and flat-cut. We pay extra to have the top edge rounded over because it prevents pads from snagging while polishing seams and edges.
We also pay attention to the back of the pad. Standard CCS pads run the hook and loop backing material to the edge of the pad. This material is very course and can cause scratching if it hits the paint or other areas while working in tight spaces or around mirrors and wings. We cut the Velcro brand fastening material back 1/4 inch from the edge and 1/8 inch into he pad. This allows you to work right against corners, mirrors, wings and complex angles without fear of scratching the paintwork.

Whether you're a novice or a seasoned professional, the advanced features of our CCS pads will yield consistently excellent results. Where can you get these pads, look no further ProperAutoCare has them for you!
