nylon brush or pad spur

I bought a yellow nylon brush from Dwayne. The bristles were so hard, that using it to clean my pads, at even 600rpms, completely chewed up the pad. Buy yourself a stiff bristled denture brush. A lotr easier on the rotory, even at 1200rpms and cleans just as well.
 
A nylon fingernail/hand brush about 3" long and 3/4" wide.
Works fine, cheap, readily available at Wal*Mart, Target, Walgreen Drug.
FWIW, I don't brush pads while the PC is running. I just make a few passes across the pad with the brush to remove any dried product before using it. I use just enough pressure to remove the dried product.
I don't think I have ever needed to brush a pad while I was using it.

That is all i do with the brush i have also. It is the Yellow one all the Sponsors sell. I do not turn the PC and use it. Works great for removing cacked on dry product.

Wait a minute. Not trying to Hi-Jack but are you supposed to have the machine on when using the brush?

I always thought it was suposed to be spinning, but I see you guys having good results with the machine off.

I'm scared to turn it on for this. It is easy enough to simply use the brush without tyhe PC being on.

Just a cheap nylon brush, and I use it with the machine off. I check the pad after each panel and if there is any product build up I use the brush.
