Default Polishing Pads

I've been using Lake Country 5.5" foam polishing pads for a few years now and I'm looking to replace them. What pads do you guys use and where do you buy them from?

I buy LC 6.5 foam pads from detailed image. They now have dimpled pads which run cooler. I have been using LC pads for years in my business.

I agree.
I bought the complete set over a year ago and I have been pleased with all of them. I have used them on all the cars for varying degrees of polishing, compound use, and even glass polishing (3M pro glass polish).
I use a velcro pad on a flexible plastic disk (Amazon) that makes changing pads a snap on my Porter Cable DA.

I personally have not really found anything better. Perhaps some of the newer meguirs pads which are pretty excellent as well, but that's about it as far as top of the line.
