I like the three drawer plastic shelves
6 inch rupes pads
7 inch rupes pads
Missing a few uhs as they are currently in use or drying
Also my hydro shreds are in a second box
I pretty much only use certain products with certain pads. Same as others have said. Some pads are for cutting, polishing, lsp, etc

That pad washer makes me curious, how much of the product is remaining in the pad? With gravity and the water being forced to the backing plate, couldn`t there be product build up, deep within the pad? Don`t get me wrong, this is a great idea, but it seems to me that all of the OTF pad washers clean the pad with help from gravity and centrifugal/centripetal force, thus ejecting particulates down and away, instead of into the depths of the foam. I beg the question, which option results a cleaner pad?
The only time I`ve noticed any product smell after cleaning is with certain strong smelling LSPs like FK1000p.
I`ve seen no evidence that product is accumulating near the Velcro on any of my pads using this pad cleaner with a PW. Swanicyouth, who developed the device, has been using it allot longer than I so perhaps you could send him a PM.

I`m thinking the pressure is forcing everything to be shot out the sides :boot

Oh noooooo. That`s funny, though! I meant the cases that hold THOSE thin cases! Cases within cases?
Here`s what I meant (finally got the pics).
The 5" Hybrids fit great in the smaller of the CD cases. Holds maybe 4-5. I`m still waiting on some pads, and I only have two in there now.
The larger of the CD cases holds the 5, 5.5" foam pads. I believe it holds 8 of the HexLogics, or similar flat pads. Not sure how many thin pads fit in it.
BOTH of those cases are designed to be stacked. With two, they barely fit in one of my shelves, two high, and two deep. I think it`s two wide, but I haven`t tried that on the shelf. AND, I have another 15-20 pads coming, so I need to restructure my system.
A smaller case holds the 4" pads, like the HexLogics, or the 3" Megs MF discs, or 3" wool pads. The 3" MF pads will be compressed just a little in the 4th style case, the long thin one.
This 4th style, seems almost perfect for the 3" LC Flat pads. Toward the center, there`s a bit of a recess (looking from the top) where the handle sits. This section compresses (ever so slightly) the pads. It`s why I`m choosing to place my softer pads (red/black) in this center section.
Here are the pics.

Yeah I feel the same. This is why we have pad cleaning solutions. Only time I have ever had a problem with product still being present is LSP`s. Staining also doesn`t mean product is still present either. I think everyone is making this harder than it is suppose to be. It isn`t rocket science.

i wonder if washing pads that were used for lsp with clean slate from cg would remove the lsp from the pads
