    hi guys

    I have some question about my pads..

    This pad is new, is a white pad hexlogic 6 ", I've used it 3 times in 3 cars.
    And as you can see, it began to break.
    My machine is a makita, use a plate of 5 "

    I have doubts that it is normal, or am I doing something wrong, with 3M pads - Meguiar's - Lake Country I had not happened.


    Thanks for your comments

    yeah and prob too much pressure and too much spin will rip it especially when its a protruded out unlike dimples where majority of the surface is 1 piece.

    Are you using a pad cleaning system or just washing it in a sink? Sometimes the cleaners catch the lip and tear it also using too stiff of a brush causes issues. And last but not least catching it on anything on the car can cause it to lift.
