Has anyone use the CG Hex logic pads? I have a DA and looking at getting some pads and I'm leaning towards these. Anyone have experience with them good or bad?
Are they ok for a beginner?
If there are more beginner friendly pads what would are they?

Thanks
 
From my experience they suck. They soak up allot of product. I had the pad sampler and ended up selling them

Sent from my SCH-I605 using AG Online
 
^^ really? I have all of their colors and have been using them since i got my PC. They do just fine for me. They get the job done.

As for the OP, i had them ever since i got my first PC so i would assume they are beginner friendly.
 
Wow those two opinions are in stark contrast of each other :-).
Hope for more. Thanks so far for the replies

For the guy who said they suck-what did you reccomend Instead?
 
They work, but yeah soak up a ton of product. Probably use 1.5 to 2 times more product ime.
 
Maybe a ploy to sell more CG polishes :)

Me too - I have 3 types of pads. The hexlogic from CG, the pads that come with the M105/205 kit from AG, and the pads that come with the Flex 3401 kit from CG (not sure what brand but they aren't hexlogic) - so far I've found the hexlogic to work extremely well, no excess absorption for me either.

OP- as far as CG goes you will find on the AG forum a visceral hate for everything CG so you will have to take some of the comments with a grain of salt.

While I haven't used ALL of CG's products the ones I have used at least work as advertised. So far the only CG products that haven't worked for ME are the wheel cleaners. Everything else is gtg as far as I'm concerned.

IMO they are a very good pads. I've used them on PC, 3401 & even rotary. I like them a lot. Other pads similar are LC CCS. Many prefer hydrotechs on the Flex 3401. I do like the hydrotechs. All pads are 5.5".
 
I have the 4" self centering pads. I like them a lot. CG pads are made by Buff and Shine out of the same foams all their pads are made of. So, there is no reason the would "suck up" more product than any other Buff and Shine pads.

I think they are very good pads. Likely a little more durable and resistant to delamination than LC pads. But, pads are pads. Unless your using a different material (open cell foam vrs closed cell foam vrs microfiber) there really isn't a ton of difference. Its much more important to have enough pads and keep them clean.
 
Sometimes I feel like Chemical Guys products should be sold on some infomercial at like 2 or 3 am the way they market some of their products. That being said, I really love some of their stuff. I have tried em but prefer the lake country CCS pads for my flex.
 
The Hex Logic pads are my favorite. I use both the Hex and LC CSS. I feel that the Hex have a slight edge in durability. They clean up really nice as well. Performance wise, it depends on type.

I don't think you can go wrong with either the Hex, or CCS. Many people like flat pads.. It's all in what works for you, and whose pad program fits your stlye and approach.

this is very true.

once you use a buff and shine pad, you'll never go back to LC IMO.

i find them to be of superior quality, and i havent lost a velcro backer on a buff and shine pad yet.
 
I have two orange pads and love them , they work just as good as any Hex pad IMO and for a good price, they hold up really well.
I plan on buying more.
Didn't notice it soaking up product not that I think about it being it was mentioned.
