NEW! 3.5 inch ThinPro Foam Pads! Thin is in and you're going to love these new small foam pads!

Got mine in this week. Excellent cut on my GG6 with a 3 inch backing plate. The new Mini Hybrid Foam Pads are awesome too with the iBrid/PE8.
 
kudos to lake country for coming out with these in this size (IMO megs drop the ball in making these when they came out with their 5" & 6" foam discs) in addition to being super thin (also available in 5.5"/6.5" sizes). if anyone is looking for new pads for their traditional pc-style DA, these are worth looking into...

Used the grey cutting pad and 6 passes. Low heat, good pad rotation and lots of cut ( I used pretty good downward pressure, more than I ever could with the 1.5 " pads).

I actually thought I could have burned through the clear if I kept at it (imagine that with a 3" Girot DA polisher).

Definitely the go to for me on the 3 " polisher.

Thanks for the feedback on the new 3" ThinPro pads - especially the comment about using them with the Griot's 3" polishers

That's a LOT of tool for a tiny pad but if you're happy that's what's most important.

How dense is the ThinPro Gray Extreme Cutting Pad compared to Rupes Green/Blue foam pads?

I had some hard times around curves because of the rupes green and blue foam pads did not conform to curves. The foam was very dense and would only get full contact on flat areas

I'd say more dense. It's pretty stiff and sharp.

It would be easier to get a thicker foam pad to conform or flex to fit a curved panel than a thin HARD foam pad.


What you want is even smaller pads. Like 1" and 2" so you need very little flexing or conforming.

Thanks Mike.

The smallest polisher I own is Rupes Mini. To use 1" or 2" pads, I guess next step would be Rupes Nano
 
Mike, I have the 3.5" Thin Pros for my Rupes Mini. Should I stick to the thicker 3"x 1 1/4" LC Professional Foam Pads for my PE-8? Thanks
 
See these pads in action here...

This is Al, he's our local SUPER BMW Enthusiast! Al has been coming to our Thursday Night Classes for about 4-5 years. One thing I love about Al is I can fully trust him to give any project 100% of his attention. In the picture below Al is using a tool he loves! It's the RUPES Mini 12mm Orbital Polisher. He's using the new 3.5" Lake Country ThinPro orange foam cutting pad on this RUPES polisher to compound the swirls and scratches out of the rear bumper cover.

Switching back over to the Altima - here's "Rob the Detailer" using the Griot's Garage 3" Mini Polisher with the Lake Country 3.5" ThinPro orange cutting pad to remove swirls and scratches out of the rear bumper.

These pads fall into a unique category. You either have them, or need them. I tried them on my GG 3" and fell madly in love. I also ordered 3 more 6packs.

Thanks so much Mike for the review.
 
Hi all,

Am I able to use these pads on Griot's Garage 3" Palm Grip Pad Holder?
