LC CCS Pad Failure?
Spent the weekend spring detailing/ correcting my DD from the harshest NE winter in recent memory, and while I was swapping to fresh LC CCS 6.5 Orange pad I noticed the clean one was separating from its Velcro backing:
None of my other LC CCS pads have ever done this. Is it defective? Or did I over use sometime last fall leading to the failure? Thoughts?

Re: LC CCS Pad Failure?
Could you elaborate on your machine, bp size, product use and technique?
Not saying you did but you could have pulled the pad off the bp by grabbing the foam instead of grabbing onto the Velcro backing/foam together.

Re: LC CCS Pad Failure?
All good questions and believe me I'm not above admitting user error!
To answer your questions:
Machine: GG 6
BP: 6" (standard GG)
Product: Megs' UC
Pad: LC CCS 6.5 Orange
Technique: Primed, 3-4 dots of product added, 4-5 passes, pads only used per section before rotated out/ cleaned
Pressure: Medium
Would over saturation of product lead to that sort of pad problem?

Re: LC CCS Pad Failure?
I believe that over saturation and using a GG plate with a LC pad could have caused this problem. I always try and match the same manufacturer's plate to pads.
Here is an incredible article written by Michael Stoops over on Meguiar's Online concerning backing plates. Very good reading.

Re: LC CCS Pad Failure?
Has anyone had success gluing the Velcro back to the pad?
What glue did you use?

Angus - Please email me your shipping information @ David.Patterson@lakecountrymfg.com
If you have any other pictures that would be great, but it looks to me as defective pad.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Thanks

Mike, thanks for the info on the backing plate - I hadn't thought about that but after reviewing the Meg's article it makes sense. Time to place an order!!!
I do my best not to over saturate - any tips/ rules of thumbs you can share to help prevent it?
Thanks again!

Sure thing sir. Glad I was able to provide it.
I don't have any tips on using SMAT products other than to lightly prime the pad with product.
