How do you clean your pads?

Foam 4-7" pads? I use DP polish pad cleaner, works great, add a scoop into a bucket, drop in the pads for 30 min. agitate, rinse with clean water, swing excess water out, let dry.



I also do the same for the LC CCS foam apps.



$25/ 2 Lbs.
 
Danase foam pad cleaner is a very fast and easy way to clean your pads.



Replace them when they start to tear or come apart.

Cool. I see it comes in a spray bottle.

How exactly do you go about using it? Spray on pad and rinse under water?

You can either spray on the cleaner and rinse off or spray on the cleaner, scrub it in water and then rinse. I usualy just spray it on, squeeze the pad, and rinse out with the garden hose.
 
I have been using Dawn Power Dissolver to clean my foam pads. I just spray them, let them sit a bit, then rise with warm water.

5" or larger pads while attached to a rotary. You can get a cheap rotary and use it just to clean pads until you learn to use it to polish paint.

:chuckle: I use to do the water the flowers till I decapitate a large row of them when a large orange disk came flying by!
 
Pretty much the same as everybody else for me.. Spray with an APC, agitate, rinse with hose, spin dry on the rotary.. If I have alot of them to do, I will occasionally throw them in the washing machine as long as the wife isn't home..



When spin drying with the rotary, I just stick the head in a bucket though.. No mess, everything including me stays dry, and if a pad does happen to come flying off (never had one do that yet, and I spin dry at 3000rpm for 10 seconds), its not going to go very far

I do the same, except I use Murphy's instead of an APC

Before I had my pad washer I did the same thing. I'm obviously still here and haven't been shocked at all.:bigups

I guess I should have said an empty bucket. Basically just the pad goes in, I'm not dunking the rotary in a 5 gallon bucket of water or anything :har:
