center of pad question

[hvaughn]

The center of my orange pads are starting to sink in. Is this normal?

Another question. I have a white pad that is pink from polish. I've washed it but it's still pink. Does this mean that it isn't clean?
I use the poorboys SSR1.

thanks!

I don't believe its normal for your pads to sink in..what kind of pad are they and what size? I know the 5 inch pads are thin and you can see the dimples on the loop and hook side. If you have any pictures that may help us whats wrong with your pads. As for your white pads changing color its perfectly normal, I personally find the white pads the hardest to clean. If you run your pads under water and agitate the pads with your fingers and nothing comes out (polish, dirt, or any pinkish color) don't worry about it its probably dyed from the polish.

Here's a pic of the pad. It's a CCS pad that came with a kit when I bought my porter cable.

I can't say for sure but that definately doesn't look normal to me...
