Cut on the 325mm is proper. Two passes on the bonnet and the swirls were gone. Foam pads never did that for me on a DA.

Serious Cut, DA Control
Microfiber aggression without the rotary risk
Lake Country Microfiber Pads unlock a level of cut that foam simply cannot match on a DA polisher - letting you tackle heavy swirls and deeper defects without picking up a rotary. The CUT and OSP variants give you a logical correction sequence from start to finish, all on the same machine.
Why Microfiber
More cut, more control, less compromise
Built for detailers who need real correction on a DA machine.
-
DA-Grade Cutting Power
Microfiber face cuts heavier defects in fewer passes than foam on the same machine.
-
CUT and OSP Logic
Two distinct pad types let you match aggression to the defect level, not guess.
-
Multiple Size Options
From compact mini pads to full panel sizes, there is a pad for every area and machine.
-
Consistent Fibre Density
Uniform microfiber construction delivers repeatable results across every panel.
Microfiber vs Standard Foam
Why microfiber outperforms foam for correction
Foam pads are a solid all-rounder, but when the defect level demands more, microfiber changes what a DA polisher can do. Here is how they stack up on the things that matter for correction work.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy swirl removal in one pass | Yes | No |
| Compatible with standard DA backing plates | Yes | Yes |
| Multiple size variants available | Yes | Yes |
| Distinct CUT and finishing pad variants | Yes | No |
| Consistent cut across multiple uses | Yes | No |
| Suitable for final coating application | No | No |
Every Panel, Every Size
From mini to full pad - a size for every job
Whether you are working a door mirror housing with a 150mm mini pad or pushing through a full bonnet correction with a larger disc, the Lake Country Microfiber range scales with the job. Consistent fibre construction across the size range means the same predictable result wherever you are on the car.

OSP pad on a silver hatch came out clean. Needed a bit more product than I expected to prime it, but once it was loaded the finish was consistent across the whole panel.

Mini pads for the door mirrors and around the A-pillars - exactly what I needed. No wobble, cuts well, and easy to keep clean between panels. 😎

Switched from foam to these for correction work and the difference is noticeable. Pads arrived well packaged from Detailer SA and the aggression chart on the site made picking the right variant simple.
Questions
Frequently asked
What is the difference between the CUT and OSP microfiber pads?
The CUT pad is designed for heavier defect removal - think deep swirls, light scratches and oxidation. The OSP (One-Step Polish) pad sits a step below in aggression and is better suited to light correction combined with a finishing polish or one-step product, where you want to refine and protect in a single pass.
Which DA polishers and backing plates are these pads compatible with?
Lake Country Microfiber Pads are designed for DA (dual-action) polishers. Match the pad size to the appropriate backing plate diameter for your machine. The range includes mini sizes for compact DA tools and standard sizes for full-size machines like the Rupes, Flex, or similar dual-action units.
Do I need to prime the pad before use?
Yes, always prime a fresh microfiber pad before your first panel. Apply a few dots of compound or polish directly onto the pad face and work it into the fibres on a spare panel or boot lid before tackling your main correction area. This prevents the dry pad from absorbing too much product on the first pass and gives you a more consistent cut from the start.
What compounds and polishes work best with these pads?
Pair the CUT pad with a medium to heavy compound for maximum defect removal. The OSP pad works well with a one-step or light finishing polish. As a rule, start with the least aggressive combination needed for the defect level and step up if required. Microfiber pads can generate more heat than foam, so keep your machine speed and pressure controlled.
Can these pads be used on surfaces other than painted bodywork?
These pads are designed for clear-coated and painted automotive surfaces. They are not intended for bare metal, glass or plastic trim polishing. Always check the compatibility of your compound or polish with the surface before applying with any pad.
How do I clean the pads after use?
Remove spent compound from the pad face regularly during a correction session using a pad cleaning brush or pad washer. After the job, wash the pads by hand or machine with a dedicated pad cleaning solution and allow them to air dry fully before storing. Do not tumble dry on high heat as this can damage the microfiber face.
How many correction passes can I get from one pad?
With proper cleaning between sessions, Lake Country Microfiber Pads are built to last multiple uses. Remove loaded product regularly during work to maintain consistent cut. Once the microfiber fibres begin to mat down and no longer respond to cleaning, it is time to replace the pad for best results.
Can I apply a ceramic coating or sealant with the OSP pad?
The OSP pad is optimised for polishing and one-step correction products. For ceramic coating or sealant application, use a dedicated soft foam or suede applicator pad instead - microfiber pads are too aggressive for final coating work and can affect levelling and bonding.
