Buffing Pads by Tool
Matching the right pad to your tool ensures safe operation and optimal performance. Lake Country offers purpose-built pads engineered to achieve the best results with your machine.
Random Orbital (Dual Action) Pads
Random orbital buffers deliver motion in random directions, providing a relatively safe mechanism that’s suitable for gentle polishing, finishing and home car care. Lake Country offers a variety of random orbital pads engineered to work perfectly with the design, power and movement of random orbital and dual-action buffers.
Recommended Pad Types
- HDO Fiber Pads
- Purple Foamed Wool Pads
- Low Lint Pads
- Standard Duty Orbital (SDO®) CCS Pads
- Heavy Duty Orbital (HDO®) CCS Pads
- SDO Foam Pads

Rotary Pads
A rotary polisher moves the pad in one circular direction, delivering effective action and speed for removing scratches and swirl marks. They require more care than random orbital machines to control heat and avoid burning. Lake Country’s Rotary Pads are designed to offer precision and accuracy, even in small spaces.

- Purple Foamed Wool Pads
Mini Polishers
Mini and micro polishers offer backing plates of 3”, 2” or even just 1”, making them a good fit for tight spaces or for spot work or touchups. Lake Country offers a variety of mini polisher pads, including foam, wool and microfiber, designed especially to fit your smaller tools.
Recommended Pad Types

- Mini Polisher Foam Pads
- Mini Polisher Wool Pads

Drill-mounted pads offer access to spaces other polishers can’t reach. Lake Country’s Wool Balls are drill-mounted, twisted-wool balls with a hex shaft, ideal for contour buffing for a variety of applications, including automotive, marine, and aviation.
