Red89GT Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Might be an odd question but I purchased a 5.25" Optimun Polishing Microfiber pad from autopia carcare. With the intention of trying it out to see how I like it compared to other brands that I have used in the past. I used the pad with a porter cable DA on 2 cars before a total failure of the pad. ( the microfiber separated from the foam backing) After the first car the pad was washed in a pad cleaning solution and then washed in the washing machine and air dried. So is this a normal life for theses pads or did I receive a defect one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfections Detail Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hmm wild, I haven't experienced that problem but Chris would be the one that usually gets the feedback so I'm sure he'll chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red89GT Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thanks for the reply guys. I will send it back to the retailer when I get a chance. On a side note I did like how it performed (prior to it falling apart) and I probably will buy more next time I order some pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn F. Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have had the same problem but then again I was using Snappy Clean pad cleaner in my Lake Country pad cleaning system and that may be one problem of why it's causing this issue. Another pad did the same thing without using Snappy Clean but like Chris said, it only seems to be a very select few doing it. Other than this small issue, the pads are awesome, I agree!
