Hi Mike. Yes, I happy to report that none of the Hydrotech pads failed on me. I had two of the Cyan start to degrade. (Keep in mind that I did some testing on them.)
Here's why:
As we polish paint, the residue needs somewhere to go. On open cell pads, the residue has a bit of an escape route inside the open cell network. With the Hydrotech, the residue can rupture the closed cells of the pad, causing them to wear pre maturely. This is hastened when:
1. Excessive pressure is used, which forces the residue up into the closed cells. Also creates heat.
2. Excessive heat caused by high speeds and high pressure.
3. Excessive product. This over saturates the pad, throwing the pad/product ratios off. Once the center of the pad is over saturated, it runs the risk of collapse due to heat.
General usage will wear any pad out naturally, but expect the hydrotech pads to indicate wear earlier than a comparable flat, or ccs. Note that even as a pad wears, it isn't useless. I used to use my old burgundy megs pads on a rotary long after they started to shred up. I don't know where the idea surfaced that pads need to look brand new until we decide to toss them.
