Ok....

I just did a detail on a 4-Door accord and something really strange kept happening. Toward the end of the detail, my pads kept coming off my PC. I call myself centering them well on the Meguiars backing plate, but I`d find that they were moving around while I was using them.

Tonite (next day) I started looking at the backing plate and pads...

There`s VERY little resistance to me pulling the pads off the backing plate. I remember playing around with the backing plate and pads before detailing the Accord, and the pads were really stuck to the plate when I put them on. WTF?? What`s going on with my stuff? Are these pieces WORN OUT after only one detail?

I`d noticed in the middle of the detail that the pads started kinda "walking around" on me. This is strange.....is there something I did that messed up my backing plate?

I tried it with some brand new pads, and there is a LITTLE more resistance to pulling them off the backing plate, but it`s still WAY too easy to pull the pads off.
