  • M/F backing plate

    Working on a 2012 Ford mustang this weekend, and I used the M/F cutting disc and M205. Paint wasn't in really bad shape but got started late, so I tried the m/f disc and the 205 and turned out great. I will try this combination in the future as well.

    Now to get to my question,while I was cleaning the pad with the brush I notice the pad actually lifting up off the backing plate, I haven't had this issue prior and the pads aren't all that old in terms of use. I machine wash, and dry on delicate. Has anyone else had the problem of the pad lifting up off the backing plate? And yes I am using the correct backing plate. Also it seems easier to pull the pad off then it used to be? One other thing I noticed was the pad would almost like pinch or fold on the backing plate, and of course I didn't take any pictures.

    Does the material on the backing plate get "worn out " ? And maybe that's what's happening? Any info or ideas would be great, just in case I do need to buy a new backing plate.

    Did you use the 5 inch pads? Is your BP definitely a W67DA? Just double checking.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
