My BOSS MF pad melted!

While it's true that some pads can't hold up to high speed for extended times, I was using foamed wool pads at 6 with M105 for 5-10 minute bursts. I rotated two pads for about two hours without any issues. I put the spare pad in the fridge so it could cool off quickly and I didn't have to halt my process for any length of time. Probably not the best method if you use them regularly but I only work on my own car.

On my old car that had normal paint, unlike the paint I have now that could chip diamonds, I could use a single pad at 6 with my PC for half a car and pads lasted for years.

So I'm pretty sure it's the GG6 in this case.

Yeah, I was right at 5.5 speed running 4 passes with 2 more real light passes. I just don't think I let it cool down enough and made a huge mistake of keeping on the inner flex pad. I thought I needed to be around 5 or so to cut into those 3000-5000 grit sanding marks. Was I wrong? I'm thinking I would have been ok without the inner flex pad. The G6 was really hot to the touch even after a 15 minute break.
