    Kompressor Pads Coming Apart?

    I have found that the pads start separating around the indent after only a few uses. Is that normal? So far I have had 2 black pads and 2 white pads completely separate and I had to toss them. I only ordered these pads a month or so ago, had 3 cars to do and used a PC on 5 - 6 with M105 / White Pad and M205 / Black Pad. Had to do my two cars, my GF`s 2 as well as 3 others. Both the white and black pads started to come apart after the third use. One spun apart as I was rounding a corner. LOL. Decent pressure but kept the pad spinning. Not sure if this is to be expected or not. I sure hope not.

    Anyone have any experience with the pads?

    I am really shocked by your results so far. I started beta testing these pads for Lake Country about 6 months ago and really worked them hard. I found the pads to be quite durable, I still have the original beta`s and they look almost brand new. Please shoot me an email at todd.h@properautocare.com or through my company at todd@belladetailing.com with any pics you might have and I will forward them to Lake Country.

    Also feel free to give Proper Auto Care anytime tomorrow at 1-800-628-7596 and speak to Angelo, Mike, or Phil and they will take care of you.

    Phew, I thought it was me, this just happened to me on a red pad i used for 10min, applying Z5. Using my Flex dual action set at 2-3, the glue melted off the velcro part of the pad.
    I sent an e-mail to PAC, see if there is a warranty.Da Rules!

    Thanx for the Post nbk:thumbup:
