Question Question about an Orange LC pad!

Guys - I have an orange LC pad with a small tear in it. Can I still use it or is it a toss?
PLMK. I do not want to use a pad that will induce scratches. (No, I am not using it on my vette anyway. Other cars. I just finished the green Plymouth Voyager Expresso and thus was the result.)
Please let me know!
Thanks,
Lauren

If it is a small tare I see no problem. Just make sure that there is No Dirt or particles in the tare that have built up that can cause paint damage. Keep the pad clean and you should be O.K.

You should be OK, I have a small tear in one of my orange LC pads also, and haven't had a problem with marring/scratching when I'm using it. Like Joe said, just make sure it isn't gunking up with dirt/contaminants and you should be good to go.

Thanks cause it takes an average of 7 days after paying to get an AG order to me here in CA. Thank goodness AG gets them right out or else it would be ridiculous.
Did I mention UPS sux?

Southern Riverside County/Northern San Diego County.
Not too close to you I think.....

Thank you guys for jumping in. This time I won't toss the pad unless I see it is collecting debris. I need to order new pads asap!!
