how many?

[cooksnj]

how many cars can you get out of a 5.5 ccs pad?
i've used mine for three cars, and it seems that it's lost it's cut. any idea?
thank you.

not sure if it matters, but i'm talking about an orange pad with a pcxp.

I have some that I got for Christmas that have been through at least five cars on both a PCXP and a Griot's. They look a little torn up, but they still work..... Make sure you are cleaning your pad regularly and if you aren't satisfied with the cut/finish try the Kevin Brown Method.You are basically making two passes with the same amount of product as one.

What Jonathan said above. I had some 5.5" CCS pads from last summer that have probably polished out 20+ cars. Keep them clean and you should get a TON of life out of them. If they start to get pitted and torn, you should probably throw them out as they won't give a uniform polish at that point.
