Hi guys,



Im eagerly awaitting a load of stuff that i bought from Proper Auto Care and was wondering if there is a priming method for foam pads in order for them to work properly. Is there also a way of cleaning them after hard use??



Thanks guys

i'm pretty sure Proper Auto Care includes a small instruction sheet with pads...



Lightly spray pad with QD to 'prime'.



Hand wash the pads, and spin dry on your PC (in a bucket), and air dry.



Pretty simple, actually.

I was always told to never spin your PC without it being on the car. So, I guess if you dry it using this method you should have it going super slow.
 
About this matter of drying pads ... I had a chance during the St. Louis get-together to observe several different pads and backing plates. I have the Coastal Tools 6" backing plate and Lake Country pads, and I always "spin dry" my pads on the PC (using a speed of 1 or 2). Never had a problem. But then, when I try to get by pads off the plate, it takes a heckuva lotta force to pull them off. I observed that some other backing plates don't hold the pads as well, and some pads don't "grip" as well. Sorry I can't offer specifics about the manufacturers of the plates and pads that are less "grippy." Just an observation.
