Today’s vehicles have curves! A standard flat pad just doesn’t cut it. Lake Country’s Kompressor Pads are designed to hug the paint, conforming to the car’s every curve. With an old-fashioned flat pad, you lose surface contact on the fenders and bumper because the pad is unable to adjust to the curves of the vehicle. Because so much of the pad is coming off the paint, you’re more likely to sling polish.

Kompressor foam pads keep the foam against the paint, which keeps the polish (or wax) on the pad. Patent pending Kompressor pads have the following features that you won’t find on other pads: Slotted Pad Face. The series of foam tabs allow the Kompressor pad to constantly conform to the shape of your vehicle as you move the polisher along the paint. This variation in the pad face allows the Kompressor pad to maintain contact with the paint over curved fenders and on concave body panels. With more foam and polish in contact with paint at all times, you get faster results.

Lake Country’s foam compositions are among the best in the industry. Kompressor foam pads are very durable and long-wearing, as you’d expect from any Lake Country pad. Compressed sweet spot. Kompressor pads get their name from the sweet spot of compressed foam in the center of each pad. The pads are designed to arch. When you press the center of the pad against the backing plate, the center foam compresses, creating the sweet spot. Polish tends to stay in the middle of the pad. The sweet spot reduces sling and holds onto the polish longer.
The Kompressor pads are arched. When you press the pad to the backing plate, the center foam compresses to form a “sweet spot”.

| The compressed sweet spot also extends the pads’ lift by reducing foam breakdown. When the pad compresses, the foam is pushed together to create a dense surface. The foam tabs still have enough movement to conform to the vehicle, but the density of this compressed foam protects the pad against unnecessary wear.

|
| Recessed back. Each Kompressor foam pad has a recessed back. You can perfectly center the backing plate every time! The lip of foam around the recessed area helps protect the paint against accidental contact with the backing plate. Kompressor pads have hook and loop fasteners to hold the backing plate securely in place. Remember to press the center of the pad against the backing plate to create the sweet spot.

A 6 inch backing plate fits perfectly within the pad’s recessed back. |
Kompressor pads are easy to clean. The slotted pad face actually makes it easy to clean Kompressor pads. Just arch the pad and you can easily use a brush or your fingers to agitate between the tabs.

Kompressor polishing pads maintain optimum surface contact on curves. |
Kompressor foam pads are available in four varieties:
|
|
Purple Cutting 7 inch Foam Pad – Use the purple foam pad to apply compounds and heavy cut swirl removers. The purple foam removes oxidation, heavy swirls, and most scratches.
|
|
|
White Polishing 7 inch Foam Pad – The white foam is less dense than the purple. Use the white pad with polishes, light swirl removers, and prewax cleansers. The foam removes very light imperfections, including swirls and light oxidation.
|
|
|
Black Finessing 7 inch Foam Pad – The black foam pad is very soft. Use it for wax and paint sealant application. The black foam has no cutting ability. It does a great job of spreading an even coat of paint protection.
|
|
|
Red Finishing 7 inch Foam Pad – The red finessing foam pad is the softest Kompressor pad. The red foam can be used to apply glazes, liquid waxes and sealants. This pad is also ideal for jewelling the paint with an ultra fine polish following the use of a swirl remover.

Lake Country’s Kompressor Foam Pads are designed for today’s sleek and curvy vehicles. No other pad hugs the curves and contours of your vehicle to give you maximum surface contact like a Kompressor pad. Try out the Kompressor line of foam pads with your dual action or rotary polisher. The 7 inch pads work perfectly with Lake Country’s 6 inch flexible backing plates.
