Re: GG6 & LC thinpro pads, So this happened..?!?!
Wow that's some carnage lol. You should be changing pads often. Clean and rotate the pads if you only have a few on hand.

Re: GG6 & LC thinpro pads, So this happened..?!?!
I got 6 pads and 2 backing plates, Is there any house hold items I can use to clean the pads as well? I didn't purchase any pad cleaner products.

Yeah, that would be user error. I've done that to a few of mine learning. Now I rotate between two or three for larger areas like big hoods and brush them clean more often. Using to much product, or adding more and more polish and keeping the pad in play will cause it to hold more heat.
You can't expect too much correction from an AIO. They are designed to give some correction but they can't have too much cut or they will not finish out well which would defeat the purpose.
I'm not sure how hard speed is to remove from pads, but I usually just use hot water and dawn dish soap. Works for me Optimum Poli-Seal and Wolfgang Uber AIO, although Uber takes more work to remove. Also, the sooner you clean them, usually the easier it is for some AIOs.

To clean HD Speed out of the pads you'll need to use some sort of degreaser. The POXY in it is pretty tough.

That would be perfect, make sure to wear gloves though.

Multiple pads. You used 1 pad for half of a Silverado, that's not good. If you are cleaning on the fly (look up the video tutorials) then you should be using at minimum 4 pads, Silverado is a big truck.

I figured it was my fault thanks for the advice! I'll definitely be investing in a pad brush asap

I actually ordered 6 pads to use on it with every intention of changing every section but it just seemed like the pad was still doing fine so I just kept on trucking, is there anyway to tell when the pad needs changed or do you just do it because you know you should ?
