0 Team Adam's Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 is it new or have you washed it?? i recently saw this problem with a pad someone had washed with a bunch of other towels in their clothes washer... the lint from all the other towels transfered and kept it from sticking effectively. In any event I suggest you venture to this thread: http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2921 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 chevyfreak06 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 it looks fine where the backer goes but it just doesn't stick, my fine machine polish one is fine and wax pad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have not heard this before. You may want to try duct tape or super glue. Perhaps getting an assistant to hold the pad in place as you polish would solve the problem. Does the pad feel like you appreciate it? Have you ever asked it how its day was? Sometimes these pads get a little sensitive and need a little encouragement. I assume you have tried these obvious suggestions so I would recommend following Dylan's advice and go to this thread started by my hero, Adam http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2921 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 chevyfreak06 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 i was hoping there was a way to get it to stick for now because i wanna finish a car that i started!!! The backer is spinning inside the pad thats how bad it is!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 A temporary fix could be to go to your local hardware store and buy a pack of self stick velcro, cut a couple of strips and apply to your pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 theamcguy Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I no longer wash my pads for this reason. As soon as they hit the water they never stick like new. I have used them all and they are all the same. I have dedicated pads for a specific product use them let them dry out and clean them by spinning them dry and holding a towel agains them and the dust comes off.

0 Marylander Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 i've never had a problem with them sticking and I wash them out real good after every use I'm pretty aggressive in my washing of pads -- soaking them for a while, then hitting them with APC, squeezing them out, then even sometimes throwing them in the washing machine. They always come out fine, though I admit the pads have only been through this routine about 5 times each. I wonder if the OP maybe ran that pad through a dryer or something and the heat softened/straightened out the velcro loops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
