| | | Pad and MF cleaning?
Hey guys new here and to hardcore detailing. I always kept cars clean and waxed but never to this extent. I just bought a whole bunch of stuff from AG. I kinda let my truck go the last year or two of school. Well worked this whole weekend on it. Got rid of the swirls and its like a mirror, still chipped and scratched oh well. It is a truck. Oh ya AG Rules customer service was great and thanks for the hookup on my order. Oh ya the XMT is killer, very easy to use.
To the question. How do you dry your pads and MFs after a wash? I'll be washing by hand and using specialty cleaners.
Thanks,
Brent |

| | | Allow the pads to naturally dry after use, I simply hang them on a bucket to drip dry. As for micro's, I dry them in the dryer on little to no heat, just allow them to tumble. (remember no fabric softner in the wash) |

| | | I usually soak my microfibers overnight in a microfiber concentrate, the stuff you would use in your washer to clean them, before I wash them. It seems to help out a lot. |

| | | I dry my MFs half-way in a dryer set at medium with no softener sheets.
I then hang them overnight on a clothes drying rack. Once dry, I fold and put away in zip lock bags.
I spin pads with my rotary then dry for a couple of days on the top of the clothes draying rack then pack in zip lock bag. |

| | | My microfiber goes in the dryer, I put the pads on top of the dry. The heat on top of the dryer helps. Or if you are in Florida like the rest of us, just put them outside for about 30 mins. |
