Using Different Products on Same Pad

I've always been under the impression that one needs to use only one product for each pad. If I clean the pad after each use, what is the harm in using more than one product per pad? Can I use one polishing pad for OP and SSR2.5 and maybe one finishing pad for 2 brands of sealant? Or even maybe another polishing pad for AIO's such as XMT 360 and Megs 66?



I clean my pads by putting them in a bucket of Simple Green and water for 24 hours then handwashing each with Dawn.



Thanks.

Are you saying that it's ok to use multiple products per pad as long as the pad is clean prior to use?

No...



Example: Polish with Menzerna IP and an orange pad. That pad is now saturated with that product. If you want to step down to a finer polish you need to get another pad or wash and clean the same pad prior to another product.

Actually, that is what he is saying. Once a pad is thoroughly clean, you can use whichever product you want on it.
