I generally just switch pads when they get dirty or caked instead of cleaning right then and there, and will clean them when I am done.

As far as priming, I've found that Menzerna acts better to being primed with a spritz or two of water, especially compared to XMT conditioner. For some reason, my pads tend to skip more when I prime with XMT and use Menz polishes. | Distilled water, in my experience with Menz polishes, works best to 'prime' a pad, they are very intolerant to silicone's and the oils / waxes they use seem to work best with just H2O (another tip with these polishes is to 'clean' the paint surface with Top Inspection or IPA before polishing) |

| | | IPA is usually in the beauty area in drug stores. I am sure Walmart carries it -- ask at the pharmacy area. Do not get rubbing alcohol which has an oil added to isopropyl alcohol.
