Default Help me choose pads

Well I finally got my PC recently. I have not been able to use it yet, as the title above indicates I dont have pads yet.

Im still torn between the two following. I cant seem to be able to decide. I wanted to hear from you guys since you guys are using them already. Which pad set would you opt for? Both are basically the same price and both come with backing plates. I just want to see what you guys say about the actual difference in pads.

My first vehicle I will be tackling is a black G 35 with moderate swirl marks.

I really prefer SONUS pads, blue, green, orange over lake country

in actual results, durability, re-washing, drying and overall effectiveness

i have a 7424 and with my lighter counter weight, it unfortunatley allows for more buzzing and vibration at speed 5 and 6, i found sonus superior. After a day of use and many hours, your hands take a beating.

but mind you, I would like to test lake country's pad again, under a heavier counter weight like the 7336 as there's less vibration

that would be cool..

hope that helps

wanabe which pads do you use.

im leaning towards the lake country since i get one more pad for the same price.

but if the pads are inferior, i would rather get the better pads.

quality not quantity

Lake County pads are fine. I've had some of mine for years.

Any pads you buy last longer if you clean them properly and don't load them up with product.

I've been using the Lake Country pads as well. They are quality pads. You have nothing to worry about. I agree as well that the LC package is probably a better deal because you get more pads for your dollar.
