Pad Cleaner?

I am using XMT pad cleaner right now, is anyone using anything else home made? like a alchohol and water mix?

Dawn power dissolver and snappy clean once in a while over here. Sometimes just dawn by it self. Never tried alcohol and water though, sorry.

I wouldn't think so, as long as you rinse the pad well.

Dawn Power Dissolver works like the XMT. You spray it on, let it sit for a while, then use a foam pad brush to agitate the pad, and then rinse.

It's hard to get the wax out of my applicator foam pads with micro restore, but it still cleans em up enough so that they won't dry up hard. I'm gonna find power dissolver someday.
