I just did it again! With the UPDATED version from Lake Country

The o-ring welded to the backing plate and attempted to weld itself to the PC as well. Luckily I managed to rip it off before the hot plastic cooled on the PC bolt.

Story
Polishing my friends BMW e46 and we finish 1/2 his trunk to do some 50/50 shots. We then put it away because I had to go to class and discover that it is very difficult to take the plate off. Twist and turn I couldn't so we both had to do it together! It basically sheered off part of the PC's bolt but its not significant to cause machine failure. I don't know whats going on but it seems that everytime I try to polish my friends BMW the plate fails . I used this same plate to polish both the ES and RX previous to today. Definitely confused on whats going on...I don't even consider what I did today a heavy polish session either

I'm starting to consider the EDGE system for polishing now...or Megs backing plate too...


PICS!
These are side by side comparisons to a normal o-ring and the welded one. Hopefully you can see that there is a huge gap in the one that welded itself...





Oh, for those who haven't frequented this part of the forum, this is the first plate I melted

Oh, would anyone like to make one of those Metal inserts that you see on trophies and send it to me? I want mine to say, "Sacrificed for a Better Shine" since I have 2 total right now. It'll look good on my wall I'm thinking
