Bad CCS 6.5 Orange Pads

[Dubbin1]

Anyone else having a problem with these? I just went through 2 new pads and the backing started coming off. All I did was the hood on a Grand Am...

I had dimpling problem with 6.5 orange. Hope LC pulls it together on these pads.

I had the same problem with the 5.5" pads. I think I may start to try out another brand if I keep having problems like this.

My newer orange flat pad is also rapidly deteriating at the backing plate edge =(

i just sent in some green and blue 5.5 inch ones that started to wear out within a couple uses-not sure what they are going to do yet

I have had these problems with LC pads as well, more so with the 4" pads though. I haven't owned an LC 4" pad that lasted through more than a few jobs before the velcro comes unglued or the foam tears just above the velcro. I have several Genuine cyclo pads that came with my original mega Cyclo kit that I purchased 20 months ago. They are a bit worn now but still usable.

I really like the LC pad progression though. I had been using Griots pads previously. They last forever. Unfortunately, they only have one polishing pad and one finishing pad.

In fact, that is what brought me to autogeek. I was looking for pads with more cut.

I got some 5.5 orange LC flat pads after the "backorder". They are different than the previous. For example, there is no bevel to the edge. I have not used them yet. Maybe they have fixed them. I hope.

I would post some picture of those pads.And if they bought from AG you can always give them a call and see what Megan has to say.

I thought it was my technique. I started a thread called Smoked a Pad back in late Feb. The concensus opinion was I was putting too much pressure on the pads or saturating the pads. I have since learned it was neither. I threw the pads away and would not have them to return anyway. If it happens again, I will save them and call Meghan.

AG has done enough for me so I wont be bothering them with this one.
