Every few sections use a nylon brush and gently 'scrub' the surface of the pad, or use a Terry towel and press it against the face of the pad while it is rotating to clean the pad.

When I want to store these used DA pads do I clean them with warm water and put them in a baggie and label what product was used?
This is the toughest question I have been using Lake Country pads ask, and anyone can give me their feed back please. are there better DA pads or ( Advanced) I can purchase kind of DA pads are most preferred for polishing swirl removal and what you call in your book Jewelling the paint High clarity and brightness of the paint under the sun it looks like a fresh wet paint job?

What is your opinion of pad washers I have one but never unpacked it or used it . Are they safe for Foam pads? What kind of cleaners do your recommend and what dilutions

Foam=I use terry towel + finger tip pressure while on.
Wool= I use the spur while spinning. Son-in -law, who had a detailing business, uses tip of screw driver.

Have the Grit Guard Pad Washer and for water based compounds and polishes, they are great. Usually just fill mine with water and use Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner, and pads come out good as new:props:
