My solution was an extra backing plate and multiple pads. I peel back the pad every few panels to see if it's starting to hold heat, and swap plates if necessary to allow one to cool. I've found it's only really a problem when you're doing heavy correction, and working at speed 6 for long stretches of time.

Yes thats it. On speed 6, deep scratches,long time process,polish on backing plate and a melted in the center backing plate
