I find a toothbrush works fine as long as you don't apply much pressure

Re: How to clean your foam pad on the fly
Mike,
I have used this technique on the PC for some time. I just bought a Rupees (hasn't come yet) and I assume it will work equally well on the Rupees. (The reason I ask is you have mentioned about every DA I have ever heard of except Rupees in this thread!)

Re: How to clean your foam pad on the fly
Where do you get quality terry cloth towels anymore? All the ones in stores are so cheap you can see right through them, and Meguiar's terry towels are nowhere to be found.

Re: How to clean your foam pad on the fly
I'm having real problems with my towels linting while using this technique to clean the pads on the fly. I'm using 100% cotton terry cloth towels, but getting all the "fuzzies" on my pads afterwards!

I have Nick looking for a sources for the towels I use.
Terry cloth towels are actually a very important tool. I know everyone always talks microfiber but there's so many times when the stoutness of terry cloth is preferred over the gentleness to microfiber.
I could probably list a dozen topics but here's one...
When doing a multiple step paint polishing process that includes compounding before polishing, a clean, soft terry cloth towel is preferred, (at least by me), for removing the compound residue FAST over microfiber because of the more stout fibers.
If the terry cloth towel induces any scratching the next step. the polishing step will remove it. So it's a non-issue in my book.

A year and a half later, is the terry cloth still the best method for cleaning the flex on the fly?

I have exactly the same problem, even after washing them a few times they still lint when using them to clean on the fly.
