    Hybrids delaminating?

    I have 5 white hybrids I've used twice now and the backing material is peeling off. I think I saw there was a product change due to this? (Yes, they are white, got washed with blue mf towels.)
    Here are three...

    John, I would guess washing machine is such a too harsh method for pad cleaning. I just spray some pad cleaner, let it sit for a while, soak it a bucket with dp pad cleaner, rinse with water and then gently dry it out with a mf towel or spin it in a rotary.

    Never had an issue with my Buff and Shine or Meguiars pads in the washing machine and dryer (Low heat). I have had issues with every Lake Country pad I've owned.

    I don't use the dryer, I scrub then machine wash them, spin dry the air dry.

    Hmmm...thought that was a possibility, I guess.

    I always had issues with every Lake Country pad I've owned, so it doesn't surprise me you're having issues.

    Sorry I couldn't help.

    Edit: I do have thier HD pads that I haven't tried yet though.

    Thanks guys, I built a pad washer, I guess I will just switch to that. Stinks that 5 pads kicked the bucket.

    Use them for hard to reach spots for buffing or for applying dressings like tire gel by cutting them up into small pieces!

    Strange, I've had issues with all pads and discs other than LC.
