When is it time to replace foam pads?

[SOG35]

I have some polish & cut foam pads from Lake Country. I had them for about a year and a half, and have polished my car 3 times.

What are some signs that I need to change pads? Is it determined by age or how many times you used them? Thanks.

~When they start to fall apart
~When they get loaded up with product that won't come out
~When there is something in them that causes scratches
~When the Velcro wears out and they no longer stay on the PC
~When they lose their shape
