Hey y'all. Looking for a product to clean micro fiber towels and pads and also foam pads. Want an all in one cleaner instead of having individual cleaners that take up space and time. Have used Snappy clean, not bad. Would like to be able to spray it directly on pads immediately after use, use it as a soak and add it to the washing machine as a boost. Thanks in advance.

Peace,

Darrin

regardless of any spray on pad cleaner, I still put them through the washer using Micro Restore

Essentially my process is, whilst working on a vehicle I go through a lot of cut pads. Usually 6...
- When I change out a pad, I toss it in a bucket of snappy clean (this is step one), then grab a new pad.
- At the end of the day all the pads get sprayed with McKee's Pad Cleaner McKee's 37 Polishing Pad Cleaner For your dual action or rotary polisher. (http://www.autogeek.net/xmt-pad-cleaner.html) brushed then rinsed out.
- Everything then goes into the washer (MF Clothes, pads, etc..) and I use Micro Restore Micro-Restore doesn’t just clean microfiber, it restores microfiber! (http://www.autogeek.net/mideco128oz.html)
- Pads air dry, MF towels go on Extra-Low Heat for 30 minutes.
- MF's get removed from dryer, lint rolled, folded and into appropriate storage bin.

Everything looks so new and is ready for the next detail event.

Hope this helps!

I soak all my stuff in Chemical Guys APC and wash with 3D towel clean and a shot of Micro Restore.

My towels are always feel and look brand new. Am I OCD? YES I AM. hahaha

Two great products.

Pad cleaner is top notch. One of these best I have used. Can be used as a soak for pads in a bucket as well.

Poorboy’s World Tornado Pad Cleaner (http://www.autogeek.net/poorboys-pad-cleaner.html)

Right now I have to say this is the best microfiber detergent. Better than micro restore, 3D, blackfire, McKee's. You name it I tried it and Poorboys right now beats them all.

My new best friend is Wolfgang's pad cleaner and rejuvinator. When I'm done with a pad I rinse it out with the hose, squeeze it out and spray some WG pad stuff liberally and let it sit. when I'm done with the job i take all my dirty pads and then drop them in a bucket of water and Dawn dish soap.

Next day i rinse them all out and dry. Voila! Done and clean.

The lady that owns the rag company told me to never use a lint roller on microfiber for 2 reasons. 1 was that the adhesive gets on the microfibers and I forget the other reason but I stopped doing it.

Edit: The adhesive clogs the pores making them less effective
