I have a porter cable 7424xp and a hook and loop attachment for my pads but it doesnt get the best grip at higher speeds trying to do paint correction. any one out there using a good hook and loop or something else? Im tired of slinging my pads in the dirt

For mine i have some sort of Velcro attachment... I got everything off of autoality... I think they work amazing... And trust me, they aren't coming off... You gotta really pull to get them of when its time to clean them

Thanks for the info

mines velcro too, just apparently not a good quality setup. It takes nothing to toss the pad, any edge or angle on the pad and its coming off. I need to get over to autoality

Yeah get a new hook and loop pad. Maybe there is some buildup on it that killed the surface. I have never had this issue with mine. Also get the pads that have a recess where the backing plate goes. Mine are like Bish said, you REALLY have to pull them off when you are done.

Also, what size pads are you using? I wouldn't use anything over 5.5" on a DA regardless cus it doesn't have the power to work product quickly it seems. Anything over 5.5 is just useless rotational mass.
