Buff and Shine is the other serious American pad maker, and the Uro-Tec line is its argument: a colour-coded system where the colour means the same thing in every size, and the foam is reticulated for airflow rather than solid.
For anyone who has fought a pad that got hot and glazed the paint, the airflow matters. Uro-Tec runs measurably cooler on a long-throw machine, which translates into longer working time per section.
Buff and Shine is narrower than Lake Country — fewer specialty shapes, fewer interface options — but easier to buy correctly. If you are building a first pad kit and want to stop thinking about it, this is the better starting point.
