CCS Technology
Polish that works, not polish that disappears into the foam
Standard foam pads drink up your finishing polish within seconds, leaving most of the product buried below the working surface. The CCS Black Finishing Pad's patented cell pockets hold the polish and release it gradually, so every gram of product you load actually reaches the paint.
Why CCS Works
Four reasons professionals reach for CCS pads
Engineered to get the most from your finishing polish, pass after pass.
-
Controlled Polish Release
CCS pockets meter polish to the surface gradually so working time is extended and product waste is minimised.
-
Reduced Friction Heat
Broken contact area lowers friction, keeping paint surface temperatures down even over multiple slow passes.
-
Consistent Flat Contact
Lower surface tension stops the pad from skipping, giving you smooth, even coverage across every panel.
-
Gloss-Ready Finish
Black finishing foam refines polish haze and micro-marring to leave paint ready for a coating, sealant or wax.
CCS vs Standard Foam
What makes CCS different from a plain finishing pad?
Not all finishing pads are the same. Here is how the CCS Black Finishing Pad stacks up against a conventional flat foam finishing pad of the same grade.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| DA / random orbital compatible | Yes | Yes |
| Suitable for finishing polishes | Yes | Yes |
| Patented controlled polish release | Yes | No |
| Reduced pad skipping via surface tension reduction | Yes | No |
| Lower friction heat from reduced contact area | Yes | No |
| Exact-fit tapered backing design | Yes | No |
Built for DA Machines
Flat contact, less heat, better results
The thin, tapered profile sits perfectly flat against curved panels on a DA machine, while the CCS pockets reduce friction heat that can stress delicate clear coats. It is the right pad for a finishing specialist who needs consistent, predictable results on every panel.

Questions
Frequently asked
What machines is this pad compatible with?
The CCS Black Finishing Pad is designed exclusively for DA (dual action) and random orbital machines. It is not intended for rotary use. The thin, tapered profile and exact-fit backing are optimised for the orbital motion of DA polishers.
What backing plate size does this pad fit?
This pad measures 5.5" x 0.875" and is sized to fit a 5" backing plate. That slight oversize gives you full, even coverage without leaving uncorrected edges at the pad perimeter.
What stage of the correction process should I use this pad for?
The black foam is a finishing pad, so it belongs at the final stage of your correction process. After cutting and polishing, load this pad with a finishing polish or glaze to refine the surface and maximise gloss before sealing or coating.
How does CCS Technology actually work?
Conventional foam pads soak up polish quickly, trapping most of the product below the working surface where it does nothing. Lake Country's patented CCS pockets - partially closed foam cells arranged in a strategic pattern - slow that absorption down significantly. The pockets release polish gradually as the pad works, so you get more working time from the same amount of product.
Does this pad work on clear coat, single stage paint and PPF?
Yes, a finishing pad like this is safe on modern clear coats, single stage paint and PPF as long as you are pairing it with an appropriate finishing polish. Avoid heavy compounds on this pad - those belong on a more aggressive foam or microfibre pad.
How do I prime the pad before use?
Lightly mist the pad with a pad primer or a few drops of water before your first use to condition the foam. Apply your finishing polish directly to the pad surface - typically four to five small dots across the face - before setting the machine down on the panel. This prevents product from spinning off before you start your pass.
How should I clean and store this pad after use?
Rinse the pad under warm running water and work the foam gently to release trapped product. You can also use a pad cleaning brush or wash it with a mild pad-washing solution. Allow it to air dry fully before storing it flat or in a sealed pad holder to keep the foam from deforming or collecting dust.
How does the CCS pad reduce pad skipping?
The CCS pockets break up the surface area of the pad that contacts the paint, which lowers the surface tension between pad and panel. That reduced tension means the pad is far less likely to grab and skip across the surface, giving you smoother, more controlled machine movement and a more even finish.
