Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads

Jun 29, 2010

Kompressor Pads Caress your car’s every curve!

Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads with hook and loop backing are perfect for your favorite polishers and buffers. Kompressor pads have a slotted face which conforms to the curves and contours of your car giving you more surface contact than is available with other pads. Lake Country manufactures these pads to have a compressed “Sweet Spot” holding polish longer along with extending the life of your . Get the best results possible by using Lake Country Kompressor Foam Polishing Pads!

If your car is worth buffing and polishing then chances are it has sexy curves. Standard pads can do an ok job of polishing curved surfaces, but Lake Country Kompressor Pads are engineered to caress these curves, working the paint evenly across the whole surface. Flat standard pads don’t adjust to the various contours of your car, over corners and areas like the fenders and bumpers you need a pad that will adjust to the shape of the car. Kompressor polishing pads glide over and shape themselves to the contours of your car preventing the polish or wax from flying all over, ensuring more even results.

Top Quality Construction.

To make the Kompressor Buffing Pads Lake Country starts with some of the highest quality foam in the industry. This premium foam is shaped in to a convex pad and then is slit horizontally and vertically. When affixed to a backing plate the convex polishing pad compresses at the center producing a the “sweet spot”.

Advantages to this Sweet Spot include:

  • The greater density towards the center holds polish on the pad longer than flat pads do.
  • The Sweet Spot also extends the life of the pad by reducing foam breakdown.

Advantages to the Slotted Pad Face are:

  • The slots allow the foam to constantly adjust to even the smallest surface contours providing a superior even finish.
  • All of those tabs made by the slots greatly increase the usable surface area of Kompressor pads, holding onto more polish and also getting greater contact with the surface being polished.
  • Slotted pads are easy to clean.

Carpet & Upholstery Brushes w/ Hook & Loop Backing

Jun 24, 2010

Designed for use with the 7424XP and other polishers.

The perfect accessory to go along with your Porter Cable 7424XP with a 5” hook and loop backing plate! Simply stick it to the plate and you are ready to go!

Two different brushes give you the optimal brush for the various needs of car care.


Upholstery ROPB-5L

The Long Bristle Brush ROPB-5L is meant for cleaning car upholstery, carpet and the various surfaces in your car that need a lighter touch. Whether your seats are leather, vinyl or fabric, with a the right cleaner this brush will give you awesome results easily and quickly. The longer brush bristles flex more to provide delicate cleaning on the parts of your car that require more gentle care. The car is not the only place you can use this brush, boat decks, boat hulls, vinyl siding, RVs, window casings and anything that you would normally use a light brush for.

Carpet ROPB-5S

The Short Bristle Brush ROPB-5S is exactly what you need to work out the toughest of stains in carpet and more durable fabrics. This short brush has the stiffness that it takes to really power through stains in carpet along with cleaning up floor mats. After vacuuming your carpet to pick up any loose dirt and debris, and spray it down with a good coat of carpet shampoo. Then using this brush attached to your random orbit polisher just let the brush do all of the hard work for you. Other places this brush can help make shine are tile, grout, outdoor furniture, decks, garage floors, seatbelts, bathrooms, porches and anything that you would normally clean with a stiff brush can be cleaned much faster with this brush attached to a buffer.

The Porter Cable 7424XP combined with a hook and loop backing plate are hugely useful and these brushes only make them more so. There is no need to break out your wrench to undo one pad and then put these brushes on. Once you have your hook and loop backing in place simply slap on whatever pad or brush you need, then peel it off and swap it out for a different pad or brush. Check out our great selection of Lake Country Buffing Pads that will also work with the same backing pads as these brushes do.

These high quality brushes won’t disappoint. If you are worried that they will wear out too quick well you can rest easy knowing that they are made from high quality polypropylene one of the most durable material used in brushes. The backing in these are made from very tight and durable loops meaning that you get a firm and secure attachment to the buffer and you won’t have to worry about the brush coming off while you are using it.

Tools-Plus’ Carpet Brush and Upholstery Brush with hook and loop backing are the perfect solution to speed up the normally tedious and time consuming task of detailing car interiors. Simply attach the correct brush and then let the car buffer do the work of cleaning upholstery or carpet for you. Their durability and utility ensures that you will get a ton of use out of these awesome brushes.
