So the LC flats are my work horse pads, I wanted to get a few more with the 25% off sale but when they come in they were different.

Did they change the design or did I get the wrong ones??

Old ones on the left, new on the right

I received some thin pros that the backing looked like yours. Have not used yet, but I just assumed the backing was supposed to be cut better but they made it out of the factory that way.
 
Yeah I'm confused, the white backing look like the original ones I've always had in the past. So not sure what's going on.

I hope i get the new ones..I ordered them last friday when they had 25% off sale and free shipping..
 
I was just looking at the new pads since they were in the store header..."Simple Six" colors...except the positions of the white and green pads are reversed between the CCS and the flat pads...not that the white/green hasn't always been confusing. LC doesn't have any info on the new "Smart Pads" on their website, either.

The one you have on the left in your first pic looks like a B&S pad.

The one on the right looks like the now old version of the LC Flat Pads that I have some of.

Are you sure the one on the left is a LC pad?
 
Honestly it's seems like it's a fault in the manufacturing. It looks as it started to trimmed from the face up to the middle and then stopped. Is the velcro the same diameter or is it bigger on the new ones? As I have reading they where gonna be thinner than the old ones. The velcro on the new ones does not seem to be safe to use to polish with. I would send a messege to the support on AGO and maybe to LC also and ask if those are as they should be.

It's all the way to the edge with a very very slight hang over the line in the center is odd as well

I agree with you that those looks strange. Send a question to the support and ask if those are as they should be.

Looks the same as the updated version and similar to the LC Hydro, but not like the year or so LC Flats that I have.

LC Flats have been backing up to the straight cut square edge
 
The first LC flat pads you bought (orange pad on the left) were sold exclusively through Auto detailing solutions I believe. Do you remember if that is where you bought them originally? It's definitely not a B&S pad. Looks more like the orange thin pro

I just double checked on ADS and confirmed it. ADS was the exclusive carrier of those specific LC flat pads on the left for many years.

I have ordered from them before but didn't know they were the exclusive sellers of that style
