Clearly I'm not doing things right as there's no way a pro would stand for the pad degradation I'm seeing.

If I had it to do over again I'd get the Flex and be done with it. Very nice polisher.

My Griot's has been relegated to a 3" backing plate and pads for the smaller, hard to reach areas. It has enough power for those.
Damn. The Flex is even more expensive than the Rupes.
