    Question CarPro Rayon Glass pad Velcro seperating

    Im currently using a GG6 with a 5 inch backing plate with the 5 inch Rayon pads.

    IS there any way to repair this pad with out buying another? I only used this pad 3 times 2hrs each time.


    Any tricks to extend the life of this pad?

    So far I keep the surface lubricated with water while polishing?

    You got more use than i did, the backing of mine was loose out of the package. Both pads shot after one session, wrote them off as junk. First time being disappointed in a carpro product.

    I had the same thing happen. I noticed when I received the pads that one was already loose. I used it for five minutes and it flew apart. I put the other pad on on used it for 2.5 -3 hours and it was fine.
    Contacted autogeek and they sent me two more pads.

    Glass pads take a beating

    I don't expect them to last more than a few hours of polishing
    Beware of those giving suggestions without evidence of their results.

    Here are the pics. Even though the Velcro came loose. I'm still impress enough to purchase these pads again to clean my own windows. At least I know the expected life
