Lake Country Purple Foamed Wool Pad Reviews

Does a nice job at removing swirl marks and some heavy cutting.

Definitely the right pad for the job when attacking medium to heavy swirl marks when either using Meguiar's 105 or Menzerna 400. Besides my Challenger, I also use it for my table saw, and other major table top tools for my bi - monthly polishing. Follow that with couple of coats Car Pro Reload for a glossy surface. Thanks

These pads definitely get right to work. When using a rotory and the purple wool combo it glides smoothly across the surface. Cuts quickly with just a few passes.

Pros: affordable, cuts quick, time saver
Con: cleaning can be a bear if you don't have an air compressor

Love these pads, they work well with Essence on a DA.

Wasn't the biggest fan of this pad. It would shed a lot and the fibers get all tangled. But I'm also not a big fan of microfiber cutting pads.

As a DIY, used it on a Boxster to further correct with M105 after the orange pad only corrected 75%. Followed with Mersena 3800 with blk pad and it's much more acceptable. Took 95% scratches off.

Ooooo yes I love them

Used on headlights ....worked great !!!!

Works very well, does have quite a bit of fuzz that will fly off though.

Cuts great .... highly recommended.

Just took a moment to get use to it. I have used it wit Megs 105 I think I will use it with the Megs 205 and see how that will do.

Being a professional detailer means getting the car done fast and perfect. I used to use all of the pads but find that the purple wool pad used with polishes does the trick at every polishing stage. It is easier and faster to use the purple wool pad saving time and money. I usually follow with a white pad and SF 4000 or SF 4500 to finish the surface with. Keep it simple and use this pad only until the jeweling stage.

Good cutting pad. Used with Megs 105 on a 13 year old Honda Accord. You need to prep the pad with detailing spray before and expect some shedding during use. Plan on using at least 2 on a typical car with moderate oxidation. Pads clean up very well. Make sure you dry pad side down on a clean towel or rack.

It took out stains left after vandals sprayed my dad's van with cola. The pad may not last as long as others but it cuts like no other ;)

This is the best pad that I have ever used. It has the ability to do some aggressive cutting, but can still finish very nicely. I can't say that they will last too long (nowhere close to as long as the traditional foam pads) but it is worth it for the extra performance.

I had some taillights that I just could not get the deep scratches out of. I purchased one of these pads based solely off the reviews on here and absolutely love it. It does lint alot at first, but not nearly as much as some other pads I've used in the past. Excellent product!

A fantastic pad! I used it with a random orbital to correct a black 2001 Mercedes C320. The car had deep defects and pretty hard clearcoat and this pad made quick work of the swirls and deeper scratches.

A must-have for professionals and novices alike!

What a great pad! I had a Prius to work on that had a cat try to ice skate on top of the roof and trunk. The scratches were as bad as I have seen and not have the car re-painted. After I was done the owner thought I had traded his car in and got him a new one. Fantastic cutting pad.

I agree wholeheartedly with the first 3 reviews, although there is some pretty significant linting on first use. Other than than, the pad wears in very well to virtually lint-free use, and is a great cutter with medium polish, like the Poorboy SSR 2.5. I also agree that it is very versatile and can be used to finish to finer tolerances.
My first experience with this pad was in trying to remove sanding scratches from black acrylic enamel. This pad really cuts (with a medium polish, no less) and seriously reduced the time it took me to get the surface ready for a final glaze. Highly recommended.

I was using white wool pads and various haevier cut polishes for harder clears and heard about these. Awesome performance from this and very little linting.

An outstanding pad! You need to get the 6 pack of these for the price point and because you will need 3 of them for most cars. While this is an agressive pad, I have been able to finish down very nicely on softer paints. You will need to follow up most compounding with 1-3 polishings for unreal effects.

Great pad. This has replaced yellow Lake Country and Meguiar's 7006 pads for me as a cutting pad with aggressive and medium polishes. This pad correct deep scratches with an aggressive compound but also finishes down pretty much LSP ready even with some of the more aggressive and medium polishes. 99% of my details include a couple of these pads at least. If I had to choose one pad, this would have to be it since it's so versatile and works well with any polish.
