I just started having a problem with my backing pad (P/C from Coastal Tool). I used to be able to `spin dry` my pads after washing thjem, and now there isn`t enough "grip" in the velcro to hold a pad on, even at "1."

I started noticing it a few weeks ago when I was polishing my car and the pads kept coming loose. I tried nearly evey pad I had tonigh, and none of them stuck for more than a few seconds...you can even feel the loss of grip just putting them on and taking them off again.

I have a hard time believing ALL my pads went bad at the same time, so it must be the backing pad. Has anyone else had a backing pad `fail` like this before??
