Pad Care

i just used my pc and 1 white pad and a blue pad today for the forst time, things went really well and i am very pleased with stuff oh, and i used the foam gun also and it rocked, iam very happy with the results of everything, i removed some swirls and the truck looks pretty new!! however i need to know what to do with the pads i used today asap, as far as cleaning them goes i dont have any products for cleaning pads especially just household stuff, so i need to know how to clean these pads so i can use em again

what i do is just use the garden hose and just hose them off on the ground still the "swirl remover" stops coming out of the pad then put the pad back on the pc and turn the pc on at pseed 5.5 and let the water spin out of the pad


i put my pads in glad containers with holes poked in the lid so mold dosent form

XMY pad cleaner .... spray, sit for a minute, agitate as needed, and rinse. Shake out and store for next use.

So, I just got some of the stuff and forgot to use it this weekend, ugh! However, what I think works is to rinse it as well as possible, then let them sit in a tub that has some microfiber detergent, then rinse, etc. I think this works extrememly well - afterall, it cleans the wax and stuff from MF's so I figure it'll cut it from the pads.

Just like killrwheels said!
Here I have one clean, the other 1/2 sprayed with XMT pad cleaner, the stuff is awesome.

I use the Wolfgang cleaner. One scoop in a big bucket, let sit overnight and the pads come looking out like new!

I **LOVE** the XMT pad cleaner... as well as the pad conditioner.

Buy the combo kit! $14.99 @ AG for both bottles... you will love it!

Has anyone else used Microfiber detergent on their pads?
