using a pad cleaner

[LazyGhost]

I wrote down blackfire pad cleaner in my newby book a while back cause it was raved as being a really good product. I am looking to place an order for this and that and looked it up and it appears to be a "spray on" application. I was under the impression a pad cleaner was something ya diluted in a bucket of water and let the pads soak in it for a while, then pulled em out, scrubbed em off and rinsed.

I like the idea of throwing the pads in a bucket to soak, but ill spray if neccessary. Your thoughts?

Thanx

that's apc you are thinking of. Pad cleaner is a little more aggressive I think, but much more expensive.

In my experience both work well, so it really doesn't make sense to have more than 1 bottle of a pad cleaner just in case

Was actually looking at the blackfire conditioner/pad cleaner combo spray bottles and the Megs APC for other duties. Guess i found another duty for the APC once i find out the dilute ratio. As my luck would have it, there is more than one type of Megs APC to choose from. lol

The apc + is low foaming the apc normal is foaming. Only difference :dblthumb2:

Dilution is 3 to 4 ounces of APC to 2 gallons of warm water for bucket :)

I for one was skeptical as to their effectiveness but very surprised how well they do work.

Pad pre-soak isn't necessary at all. Spraying a little all purpose cleaner or pad cleaner on a soiled pad certainly won't hurt.

I did a little writeup on a Meguiar's pad washer I bought last year that might help you.

So, i could at this time just use the APC and not use up my finances on the blackfire pad cleaner. What about the pad conditioner spray? Would you say thats a neccessity?
