Use the new Lake Country Pad Washer Today!

Mine lasted about 5 years in my shop doing 25-30 cars per day. I loved it and it worked awsome. I highly recommend this product to anyone that takes their buffing seriously. Well worth the money. Make sure to clean the solution daily or it will smell VERY bad!
 
A big thanks to Bret for bring the pad washer over for a Detail day here in Atlanta. Bret cleaned at least 30 pads for everybody that was there today. My wool edge pads looked new after Bret ran them on the pad washer. Someone brought this pad in, he was pretty sure it was over 6 months ago when he last used it.

I think I will be getting the System 2000 pad wash for myself soon.



I polished 2 different vehicles on sat, it was nice getting home and not having to worry about soaking pads in a bucket then rinsing them out the next day. .

:wow: I think I might have to get that pad washer! Anyone know if 4" pads work in it?

I think the 4" pads are too small to get all the cleaning gears moving required for good cleaning.

5"-6" minimum diameter then? Or is this thing made more for 7"-8" pads?

It's a really nice tool to have and use, but since mine fell apart, I never replaced it. *I* can manage fine w/o one, but I'd love to have another one.

Sound advise, especially from someone dealing with the quantity of pads you go through. However I don't see how you get along with out it!



Actually, the "duospur" is is a limited version of the above system (principles are the same) and does an incredible job of cleaning pads. Before I got one some people told me about using a screw driver to do the same thing, well it is not the same thing, it is one heck of a lot better.

I clean my pads before, several times during and then after using them. On foam I use a stiff detail brush(like the duospur) and on wool I use a metal spur. Each one can't be interchanged with each style of pad. The best thing about the pad washer is that it uses water/QD as a cleaner/lubricant that helps the internal spinning spurs(notched wheels) to throughly clean each pad. That's what makes it alot easier and better than conventional spuring. After cleaning the pad you spin it inside the covered 5 gallon bucket and it dries it without getting debris all over the place. The pads comes out just damp enough to use on the vehicle right after cleaning. It goes above and beyond regular pad cleaning. It's perfect for the people that insist on washing their pads that complain about the backing plate delaminating.
 
Finally ordered mine today from here for $119 and free shipping. I think the free shipping for orders over $100 is good till the end of the month.
 
Yeah, it's made for a rotary. If you have a rotary just keep it plugged in next to the washer and stick your Pc pads on the rotary to clean them. Danase will be carrying these in the next week or two. I've used on in hte past at a friend's detail shop and I have been getting a lot of request for this lately.

Yes and I think that one of the main reasons why they don't sell that well, not only do a non-pro enthusiast DA user like me need to spend $100+ (which is not to bad seeing how well they work) for the unit but we also have to buy some cheap rotary just to use it.

Actually I think they sell quite well. Maybe not to "autopians" but you guys have to remmeber that "autopian" style detailers are just a very small drop in a very large bucket. ;)
