Hi Nick:

Cleared just the cookies, and still the same.

Cleared all Internet info, including the shopping cart, and still it says 'undefined' inside the cart.

IE9 BTW.

Thanks Jim. Sometimes that helps.

We'll have it fixed shortly. Until then, anyone can call in or leave a note in the comments box and we'll have it added to your order.

Very intrigued how these pads will work on a RB. The blue cutting pad is amazing!

I love the way these pads handle on the 3401. It's a match made in heaven.

After getting to Germany hopefully after touring the Flex facility I would love to pick up a PE14 and see how well they handle on it. I'm sure they handle just as well on it.

The hybrids work very nicely on a PE14. Tried it out the other day.

It's all I use for forum work as it's the only browser that can take advantage of all the features in vBulletin.

I mention at least one reason why here,

How to expand the message box

I just downloaded the newest version of Google Chrome and took this screen shot.

While you can use the up and down arrows to stretch or shrink the message box it's missing the button to toggle between WYSIWYG and Editor Mode.


Unless I'm just not seeing it?


Again, this is why I use I.E. not that I think it's a better overall browser but it lets "me" take advantage of all the available formatting options in vBulletin and these are things I need to be fast and efficient on a vB forum. But that's just me...

I've tried them all, I'm a huge Firefox fan but even Firefox won't let me take advantage of all the features in vBulletin and I work in vBulletin a lot.

Yes, most of the business community still uses IE.

Since my business is supporting business clients, I have to use what they do.

All of my business clients have servers in their offices, running Sharepoint, Exchange e-mail, SQL Server databases, and various other line of business software packages.

The only product that actually works 100% is IE. With all of the ways people end up with Chrome and Firefox on their computers (software updates from other companies, etc.) they will frequently end up with Chrome. That's when I get the phone calls about things not working.

One of the most important functions that my customers use is the Sharepoint interface so they can remote in and take over their office computer from home. That's called telecommuting. Those functions don't work right in Chrome or Firefox. Unlike products such as GoToMyPC, those capabilities are part of the package and incur no monthly fees to use them.

Of course, Microsoft didn't help themselves by pushing out IE10 as an automatic update, since they don't have IE10 ready for those remote functions either.

And, they didn't help themselves with Windows 8 either, as I think they threw the entire business community under the bus trying to create software that runs on all platforms.

I use IE9 because that's what all of my IT customers use.

MS is ensuring that we are going to have to take them somewhere else, but I haven't decided where yet. Who knows, maybe a whole Linux Server and Desktop setup, although nothing out there is packaged appropriately (yet) for the business community.

I have had a couple of customers attempt to buy in to the idea of Google Docs, and managing their businesses in the Cloud. None of them have been willing to stay there.

For them, like everyone else, the computer is supposed to be a tool, not an obstacle.

Mike's comment about vBulletin is only the tip of the iceberg in business software applications.

Anyone have any feedback they would like to share on the new Yellow Hybrid pads? I'm anxious to hear about some positive results so I can place an order for some and see for myself.
 
Well, it's probably my fault, but using WFG my yellow hybrid pads delaminated from the velcro, but not before shredding around the edges. Since it was my first attempt at finishing with my new 3401, I might have been doing something wrong. But I used the blue hybrid pads with WTSR just before this with no problem whatsoever.

No response from AG customer service.

I also had one shred around the edges this weekend. I was working on the roof of a 2006 Toyota Rav4, and the pad was new when I started. I have noticed that these pads start out hard like the white or orange pads, but soften up considerably after a few sections. I was initially impressed with the yellow pad, but this recent issue has me concerned, especially since it has now been confirmed by another user...

For now I'm going to chalk it up to a bad batch.
 
I was really expecting some rave reviews and I'm a little disappointed to see what is being reported. Thanks for sharing guys your experiences guys.
 
On the plus side, I will say that the yellow hybrid paired with Menzerna PF 2500 is a killer combo...
 
As I think more about it, the problem may be related more to over-saturating than pad quality itself. When I did the roof panel, I did admittedly prime the pad with too much product.

I initially thought it was a bad batch because the first pad I got had no issues whatsoever. Then I ordered three more, and one pad went from new to shredded after just doing the roof panel, while another pad was still in great shape after doing half of the vehicle. In all cases I was using Menzerna PF 2500.

@Cyclesafe: how much product did you have on your pad?
 
I'm sure that Eric (Padman) or Mike Phillips will chime in at some point with some insight.
 
Hey Guys, thought I would try to shed some light here. We have discussed this many times, but I thought I would mention it again. When you use a pad on a DA, you create friction to a degree. Friction creates heat. Here is where it will make more sense. If you put weight on that pad, you will create more friction, now add a chemical, and increased speed, and pressure, everything gets pushed to its limit. With the heat created, heat rises, so it goes towards the backing plate. It cant escape through the backing plate, so it starts head away from the backing plate, back towards the surface. Here is what happens: as you are polishing and creating the heat it wants to dissipate, but going through a small celld foam pad takes time. So you are creating heat and its not cooling off fast enough as you ad more from polishing. The glue is the weakest link on the pad, so when all factors are there, the glue tends to break first, causing the pad to delaminate. I have most of the machines on the market today and some machines are more abusive than others as far as a DA goes.

The other thing I want to address is foam pads. This is the best comparison I can think of. You go to the store and buy a new pair of shoes. They fit nice and snug. Now you start walking in them everyday, they get wet, bent, flexed and the shoes start to break in and become more flexible and start to break down. Same as a foam pad. Out of the bag it performs awesome, but add heat, chemicals, washing, etc, the foam starts to soften. I hope this makes some sense.
 
Tried the yellow hybrid pad w/Sonax 3/6 (machine = Flex 3401) and got the best results of any pad/polish combination to date. The finish on German silver was crazy glossy. Give it a try, don't think you'll be disappointed.

Thanks for the input. Glad to hear it they worked well for you.
