CCS Technology
Polish stays where the work happens
Conventional foam pads pull polish into the body of the foam before it ever touches the paint. The HDO CCS Orange pad uses patented partially closed foam cells to hold product in reserve and release it progressively as you work - giving you more consistent coverage, less waste and better correction per pass.
Why HDO CCS
Four reasons to run this pad
Engineered for performance on long-throw orbitals, not just labelled for it.
-
Controlled Polish Release
CCS pockets meter product to the surface progressively, reducing waste and keeping the working face loaded.
-
Resists Heat Fatigue
Dual-layer foam limits internal friction so the pad stays cool and consistent through long correction sessions.
-
No Pad Skipping
CCS pockets reduce surface tension, letting you run the pad completely flat on the paint without grabbing.
-
Patented Worldwide
The HDO CCS design is protected by international patents - a construction engineered from the ground up, not adapted from a standard pad.
HDO CCS vs Standard Foam
What sets the HDO CCS apart
Standard flat foam pads do the job on a budget, but they absorb product fast and generate more heat under a long-throw machine. Here is how the HDO CCS Orange stacks up against a conventional flat foam polishing pad.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Controlled polish release to working surface | Yes | No |
| Dual-layer foam for heat and fatigue resistance | Yes | No |
| Prevents pad skipping via reduced surface tension | Yes | No |
| Suitable for long-throw orbital polishers | Yes | Yes |
| Available in polishing grade (orange) | Yes | Yes |
| Lower upfront cost | No | Yes |
Built to Last
Dual-layer construction that handles the heat
Long-throw orbitals put more lateral stress on a pad than a standard DA, and heat is the enemy of consistent foam performance. The HDO's dual-layer design limits internal pad movement to reduce friction and keep temperatures in check, so the pad holds its shape and cut level through an extended correction session rather than fatiguing mid-job.

Questions
Frequently asked
What type of polisher is this pad designed for?
The HDO CCS range was designed specifically for long-throw orbital polishers. The dual-layer construction manages the additional lateral forces these machines generate, keeping the pad stable and reducing heat build-up during longer correction passes.
What does CCS Technology actually do?
CCS stands for Collapsed Cell System. The pad features a strategic pattern of partially closed foam cells that hold polish in small pockets and release it gradually as you work. This keeps product at the working surface rather than buried inside the foam, so you get more consistent performance from less polish.
What cut level does the orange pad offer?
Orange is a polishing grade in the Lake Country range. It sits in the middle of the correction spectrum - suitable for removing light to moderate swirl marks and fine scratches, and for refining after a heavier cutting step. It is not a heavy compound pad, so pair it with a finishing polish or a mid-cut compound for best results.
Which polishes or compounds work best with this pad?
Any quality liquid or cream polish formulated for DA or long-throw orbital use will work well. The CCS pockets handle metering for you, so you can start with a slightly smaller prime coat than you would on a conventional foam pad. Avoid overly thick compounds that resist the cell-release mechanism.
Is this pad safe on clear coat, single-stage paint and PPF?
Yes, the orange polishing grade is safe on clear coat and single-stage paint. Exercise caution on PPF - use light machine speed and minimal pressure, and confirm compatibility of your chosen polish with the film before working a full panel.
How do I prime the pad before use?
Apply a small amount of polish directly to the CCS pockets before your first pass. Because the cells regulate absorption, you do not need to saturate the pad the way you would a conventional foam pad. A few pea-sized dots spread across the face is enough to prime it and get consistent product flow from the first panel.
How do I clean and maintain the pad between uses?
Rinse the pad under warm running water and work the foam gently with your fingers to release built-up product. You can use a pad-cleaning solution or a small amount of diluted all-purpose cleaner. Allow the pad to air-dry completely before storing. Avoid wringing the foam aggressively as this stresses the dual-layer bond over time.
Can I use this pad with a rotary polisher?
The HDO CCS line was designed for long-throw orbitals. While the dual-layer construction is durable, using it on a rotary generates very different heat and friction patterns to what it was engineered for. If rotary correction is your method, Lake Country produces pads better suited to that machine type.
