I have 5 white hybrids I've used twice now and the backing material is peeling off. I think I saw there was a product change due to this? (Yes, they are white, got washed with blue mf towels.)
Here are three...

John, I would guess washing machine is such a too harsh method for pad cleaning. I just spray some pad cleaner, let it sit for a while, soak it a bucket with dp pad cleaner, rinse with water and then gently dry it out with a mf towel or spin it in a rotary.
 
I suppose, my blues are not, just seems to be these white fellows
 
Never had an issue with my Buff and Shine or Meguiars pads in the washing machine and dryer (Low heat). I have had issues with every Lake Country pad I've owned.

Buff and Shine & Meguiars > Lake Country
 
I don't use the dryer, I scrub then machine wash them, spin dry the air dry.

Hmmm...thought that was a possibility, I guess.

I always had issues with every Lake Country pad I've owned, so it doesn't surprise me you're having issues.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Edit: I do have thier HD pads that I haven't tried yet though.
 
Thanks guys, I built a pad washer, I guess I will just switch to that. Stinks that 5 pads kicked the bucket.

same with me!
 
Use them for hard to reach spots for buffing or for applying dressings like tire gel by cutting them up into small pieces!
 
Strange, I've had issues with all pads and discs other than LC.
 
Never had any issue with the Hybrid pads delaminating, coming apart, etc. I also have the original release pads from 2011.

I also never wash my pads in the washing machine or put in the dryer. I have a pad washer and spin them dry on the rotary.
 
Nope, me either. My Hybrids have been faultless. :buffing:
