My new Cyan pads are done...

[HateSwirls]

I just received my Cyan pads , after only doing two cars they are toast.
The Velcro separated from the foam pad making them unusable :(

Thing is I didn't over work them, used very little pressure with my 3401
I washed them by hand and allowed them to dry but still shot.
The pads aren't cheap, I thought they'd last like my CG's Hex pads but didn't.
Disappointed !

It's sad because I found them to cut and finish down very well.
Maybe I hit a bad batch?
Anyone ever had this problem using the Cyan pads?

Luckily I didn't order a bunch of them,I wanted to see if I'd like them,well.....l

I had same problem with the older ones. The newer ones are supposedly amazing.

You're talking about Lake Country Hydro-Tech? That's certainly been a complaint that I've heard, I only have a few and don't use them that often so I haven't had that problem and I'm not even sure I've used the Cyan.

Maybe the ones I just bought were some left over from the older version?

Yes, the Lake Country.
Blue Cyan pads.

I don't recall there being any changes to the Hydro-Tech pads. I really love the Tangerine.

Hey Kevin. Which size were you using the low pro or the original thicker pads?

[David at LC Pads]

We did do some upgrades in the later part of last year.

It sounds like you may have gotten defective product.

Please email me a picture @ david.patterson@lakecountrymfg.com and we will get it figured out

I am really sorry for the inconvenience.

I had some apparent issues, and David here resolved the matter and sent me a few new pads. These new ones he sent looked the same to me with white Velcro backing, but not sure how they'll perform yet, haven't yet tried them. Perhaps the bonding process was changed, mine that went funny were definitely the older ones.

Some of what I noted may have been some "newbie user error" as well.

David made some suggestions, and I think I'll try being a bit more careful with not over-working these smaller 4" pads I have, and as well pay a bit better attention to not over-loading the pads with excessive product.

I'll save these for working smaller areas, Pillars, Bumpers and such, and not the larger panels.

As Mike P has often wisely suggested, in a perfect world, one pad, one panel, etc etc.

Was the issue with the thin or thick pads? Been using a Cyan thick pad a lot (and love it!) and haven't noticed any issues. Bought mine in December.

I'll take a picture of it David.

I buy a lot of Lake Country Flat pads for my detail shop without any issues.
