Hey there guys. A while ago i bought the CG self centering pads and backing plate for the pads as well. A couple weeks later, i was using the pad+backing plate combo and a couple minutes in my whole backing plate and pad flew off from the PC. The threads in the backing plate were gone, just eaten away. I know for a fact i tightened everything well before use, so i contacted CG. After speaking with one of their reps, i got them to send me a new pad and backing plate (4inch spot pad and the 3 inch flex pro backing plate they make specifically for the 4 inch pads fyi) When i received them, i noticed they the backing plate looked used, and abused. I ignored it and just thought oh well. I used it today, and wallah, SAME PROBLEM OCCURED. While detailing i noticed that the backing plate was getting loose so i stopped and inspected it. Once again, the threads were completely chewed away, and all the shrapnel had collected on the back of the pad. I wanna know if this is a know problem or what because im getting very annoyed by this. I have 4 of these pads that i cant use, because the backing plate is so poorly made it cant handle speed settings 5 or 6 on a PC! I sent an email to them 3 days ago but it doesnt look like they wanna deal with my crap anymore by the looks of it. God im so frustrated!

Thanks, but i ordered straight from Chemical Guys like mid December, the pads and backing plate. Its just frustrating how two sets of backing plates later, this stuff still keeps breaking on me, even though i was especially careful on the second set. Cheap material maybe?
 
Photos will be uploaded in a couple minutes
 
Common guys i really would appreciate some insight on this :/

Im left here with 4 pads that only work on these backing plates, but i dont know whats wrong with them :(
