The Lake Country SDO CCS Blue Heavy Polishing Foam Pad combines Lake Country's Standard Duty Orbital (SDO) design for DA polishers with its patented CCS foam technology. It's the most aggressive foam in the SDO CCS line, for defects beyond light swirls, with CCS pockets that help the pad hold and release compound.

Key Features & Benefits
🔹 Heavy Polishing Foam – Lake Country rates blue as Heavy Polishing, the most aggressive of the three SDO CCS pads.
🔹 Same Foams as HDO CCS – Lake Country builds SDO CCS pads with the same engineered foams as its HDO CCS line, without the HDO dual-layer construction.
🔹 CCS Technology – Conventional foam pads absorb polish too quickly, trapping most of it below the working surface. Lake Country's patented CCS design uses patterns of partially closed foam cells to slow that absorption.
🔹 Gradual Polish Release – CCS pockets release polish gradually as you work, extending working time and improving control.
🔹 Prevents Pad Skipping – The pockets reduce surface tension so the pad runs flat on the paint.
🔹 Tapered Edge – The tapered profile resists pad rolling and keeps the pad rotating on curved and contoured panels.
How to Use
Step 1: Wash and decontaminate the paint, then inspect it under good lighting. Tape off trim, badges, and sharp body lines.
Step 2: Use the 3.5-inch pad on a 3-inch backing plate, the 5.5-inch on a 5-inch, or the 6.5-inch on a 6-inch. Center the pad on the hook-and-loop plate.
Step 3: Prime the pad with a light, even coat of compound across the face, then add a few small drops for the first section.
Step 4: Test a small area first. Work one small section at a time with slow, overlapping passes, keeping the pad flat so it keeps rotating.
Step 5: Wipe off residue with a clean microfiber towel and inspect. Follow with a lighter pad and finishing polish to refine the gloss.
Pro Tip: Because CCS pads release product gradually, start with less compound or polish than you would on a standard foam pad. Add more only when the pad starts to run dry.
Pad Care
Lake Country recommends washing foam pads in a pad washer with a pad cleaning powder, rinsing with clean water, and air drying. You can also machine wash pads on a gentle cycle in cold or warm water, no more than 10 pads at a time. Avoid hot water, which can shrink the hook-and-loop backing. Don't use a pressure washer or high-pressure compressed air on foam.
Why We Love It
The SDO CCS Blue puts Lake Country's CCS foam into its heaviest standard orbital pad, so compound stays working at the surface instead of soaking into the pad.
Works Best With
✅ Koch Chemie One Cut & Finish P6.02 – A cutting compound and polish for DA polishers and foam cutting pads.
✅ Lake Country SDO CCS Orange Polishing Pad – The polishing pad in the same SDO CCS line, for lighter defects or the step after the Blue.
✅ Lake Country SDO CCS Black Finishing Pad – The SDO CCS finishing pad, for final refinement.
✅ Lake Country SDO Blue Heavy Polishing Pad – The standard (non-CCS) version of this pad.
✅ Lake Country System 4000 DA Orbital Pad Washer – Lake Country's pad washer, the cleaning method it recommends.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Question: What does CCS do?
💡 Answer: CCS uses patterns of partially closed foam cells that slow how quickly the pad absorbs polish, release it gradually as you work, and help the pad run flat without skipping.
❓ Question: How is this different from the standard SDO Blue pad?
💡 Answer: Both are SDO heavy polishing pads. The CCS version adds CCS cell technology for slower polish absorption and longer working time.
❓ Question: What machines can I use it on?
💡 Answer: Lake Country lists random orbital DA and mini polishers.
❓ Question: What size backing plate do I need?
💡 Answer: 3-inch for the 3.5-inch pad, 5-inch for the 5.5-inch, and 6-inch for the 6.5-inch.
