The Lake Country CCS Yellow Cutting Foam Pad is the cutting pad in Lake Country's original CCS line, made for DA and random orbital polishers. Use it for defect removal, with CCS pockets that hold compound and release it as you work.

Key Features & Benefits
🔹 Cutting Foam – Lake Country rates this pad as Cutting, the most aggressive of the four CCS colors.
🔹 CCS Technology – Conventional foam pads gradually absorb compound and polish, trapping it below the working surface. Lake Country's patented CCS design uses patterns of partially closed foam cells so pockets release polish gradually as you work.
🔹 Runs Flat, Runs Cooler – CCS pockets reduce surface tension so the pad runs flat on the paint, and reduce surface contact for less friction heat.
🔹 Thin, Tapered, Exact-Fit Design – Lake Country builds these pads with a thin, tapered profile and an exact-fit backing for classic, optimized performance.
🔹 Made for DA Polishers – Lake Country makes its CCS pads exclusively for DA and random orbital machines.
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 on the paint.
Step 5: Wipe off residue with a clean microfiber towel and inspect. Follow with the CCS Orange or White pad to refine the finish.
Pro Tip: Because CCS pockets 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 CCS Yellow is the cutting pad in one of Lake Country's classic DA lines. Its CCS pockets keep compound working at the surface, so correction stays consistent through each section.
