Does anyone know if lake country pads will fit the Griot's Garage orbital? Or do you have to use Griot's pads? I was thinking about buying lake country since I've read they have better pads. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also....what orbitals are you guys using? I've been using Griot's (my neighbor's orbital) but I would like to have own.

Looks like the 6.5 inch CCS Lake Country foam pads will work since it also uses the hook (velcro) and loop foam pads.
Happy

+1 Correct - the Griot's random orbital backing plate is 6" so the 6.5" pads are the ones to use. Get orange pads for cutting power to clear off swirls and scratches, white pads for minor swirls and hazes, and black or blue pads for finishing and sealing.
Enjoy.
