Default Is my pad dead?

Hey guys,

I have a question and I need your opinion. I have a pad that I've used roughly 4 or 5 times. I've used this pad with M80. The main problem is that after using it after approximately 4 panels, the pad just starts to gum up pretty bad. I'm not talking about dried product or dust in the pad but more of like little or small moist, solid product that turned into play-doh and the buffer is flying it around. I don't know what happened. This pad also looks a lot different than my other W8006 pad which I have used twice.

Here are some pictures:

Pad with the problem

What do you guys think? I don't think that the pad should die that quick especially with the relatively new pad looking very new!



Also, what's the proper procedure on washing the pad after use? I just wipe off the product build up after doing 3-4 passes.

It just looks like a little wear and tear which is normal. I actually use the UPW to wash my pads.

either use less products or spritz it with a qd, to stop the pad from clogging.
house hold dish washing liquid is fine for cleaning your pads
