    I love my new El Padador 1.0 Only available at finer detail suppliers. You won't find them on Amazon!

    I know I should of shot a before picture. So you'll just have to take my word for it. They were nice and gunked up! Was surprised how well it did. Just filled it 1/4 inch above the pads and plunged. Ran it with barely any pressure on moderate speed. Pulled up off the water while it was closed and gave her a full sped burst for a second. I couldn't squeeze one drop out of either of the pads after I finished.
    I just used a little household detergent and sprayed the pads with the Griot's pad washer.

    Looks pretty cool, Dana.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I have about 5 of different sizes and would be allot easier to use then making from scratch. But the QD to the shank and drill? How could I incorporate it to the pad. If I wanted a regular steel bar then tighten with chuck style. Buy I didn't want it to be hoakey. If I could some how figure a way to incorporate the Backing pad into what I have would be a home run and way better. Think of something?

    Your the man! You simplified it and I just figured out how to use a common Backing plate to add to the washer. Much easier!

    Can find 2 for $7 or 5 for $10 on Amazon
