Bad CCS 6.5 Orange Pads

I just bought some 6.5" CCS pads(7/8" thick). I love how narrow they are and haven't had any problems.
 
OK I have just about had it with these pads. Now a brand new 4" orange CCS pad has the backing coming off. What makes me sick is the amount of pads I have that have not been used yet. It seems like every time I grab a new one it gets trashed.

Yeah, I have a bunch of unused pads too. I suppose I will send them in each time one fails.

Dwayne, sorry to hear that the pad went bad. Like Jason said though, don't hesitate in calling us to get you a replacement asap. :xyxthumbs:

I feel you there, same thing is happening to the LC pads I have. Soon they will all be trashed and the nightmare will be over. That is considering I can find a better manufacturer of pads. I for one don't want to replace a new bad pad with another new bad pad, Kind of a vicious circle there. I got the 4" pads covered but who will I buy the larger sizes from?
 
This happened to me a week ago with an orange pad of mine. Did 3/4 of my car and the velcro backing of the pad started to shrink. I pulled it off and the backing was separated about half way and smoking.

I could see that happening if the pad is saturated with product while running at a high speed. Could that be the case?
 
I was using a PC on 6, with Megs Ultimate Compound with some sunlight on the car. It was about 75 and not very humid. I was using the "on the fky" technique of cleaning the pad with a towel. The pad had been used on 3 other cars. How long are pads typically good for?
 
Had the backing come off a LC glass pad that I got from AG bit ago used it for the first time and took it off the BP and velcro came off...went to get another one and they are on back-order.

I will try and glue it on for now. That is one thing that sucks about velco backing is the chance, small chance, of them coming off if they get wet as the glue is put under alot of stresses.
 
I was shocked when it happened.

I threw my 2 new pads away after the backing came off. If it happens again I'll contact autogeek.
 
is this why some of these pads are on back order?

does it affect kompressors as well?

I haven't had any issues with the 6.5" CCS pad backing, but the Hydro-techs were bad about delaminating the backing when I had them. The correction power and finishing power of them is amazing, but I can't use them unfortunately...

I need to order a BUNCH of new pad thanks to rivets in a 30' enclosed car transport trailer and a 1995 SEVERELY oxidized red Range Rover I just finished. Surbuf pads correct AMAZINGLY, but if you work on a rough surface for too long, the microfinger pad separates from the foam backing a little at a time.

AG has been very good to me as well, that's why I can't see pursuing replacement pads after 17 HT pads went bad on me. Good luck with your issues.

This happened to me after 2 panels with a brand new 6.5 inch pad.

i just sent in some green and blue 5.5 inch ones that started to wear out within a couple uses-not sure what they are going to do yet
 
We did have an issue with bad adhesive. It was taken care of and should not have that problem anymore.
