Hydrotech pads problems : Bad batch? Bad Pads?

Dang, I just received 9 HydroTech pads too :(. I'll have to see how mine are.
 
Hey mark

thx for the responses

wich pad does not have this problems?

looking for 5,5 pads for a griot's that will hold up well and give me some power to correct quick
Hey bud, the regular flat Lake Country pads are great and very durable! :dblthumb2:
 
BTW, the LC Crimson pad is my favorite finishing pad. Very durable, too. I'm not trying to make up ground here, just being honest. The tangerine HT is more durable than the Cyan pad, but not bulletproof. All the HT pads PERFORM great, it's just the terrible durability issue of the cyan pad that gets me.
 
Of course I won't buy the pads, but what about the tons of other people that are clueless about this? Good chance they'll be wasting their money. It's not fair to have a pad on the market that fails so easily.

True. Hopefully they will Google "Lake Country Hydro Tech Pads" and read this post.

You have got to be kidding..maybe they could ask "Angie".

what do you use the crimson pad for?

I have a couple but only found they are good for waxing

I tried a very fine polish (sf4500) to increase gloss, and on another panel to remove light marring, and neither worked well, and the red crimson was too "soft" to do anything other than wax

I feel the exact opposite. I think the crimson pad finishes great!!
 
I have only used the HydroTech crimson finishing pads and have only fantastic results. That being said, there have been countless threads regarding the Cyan HydroTech cutting pad being the primary culprit.

My first experience was with LC CCS pads, which I did not like. That is what prompted me to go to the HT pads and I have not looked back. I don't have the cyan (just crimson and tangerine - along with red, blue, grey(black), white, and green CCS), but I think for my cutting pads I may just have to go with a orange flat pad, or something along those lines.

Again, regarding the HT crimson - I have had nothing but good experience. Hopefully the problems are isolated to the cyan and the tangerine and crimson still are good.

Hope you get your issues worked out. Happy detailing!
 
I have about 6 of each HT pads. I have been beating on my blue ones since the day i got them. So far only thing I have noticed is the blue faded to greenish after a wash.
