I got some new Microfiber pads and they don not hold on my pad driver of the 175 Huh !!!

What kind of pad driver do you recommend so that the MF´s hold on it? Should it be a velcro driver or a kind of this:

A pad driver with a longer bristle would work better.

I thought the same. Thanks. It is incredible...here in germany it is very hard to get the things you need...you get some standard stuff...thats it!

The last months i ordered from UK... A carpet rake and microfiber bonnets from the US... Now i am searching a pad driver with longer bristles...and where can i get it...in the US!

Even the distributor i bought the rotary do not know where to get different pad drivers!

The Malish PadLok driver is what I'd suggest. (If you're able to find one in Germany.)
Otherwise we could probably send one to you. If you need to get one from us let me know.
