Polishing Pad Cleaners - which one

[kevincwelch]

The only dedicated polishing pad cleaner I've used is Wolfgang. I feel like it worked all right -- still noticed left over polish debris in the pads.

WRAPT recently posted a rave, albeit short, review of McKee's. There are quite a lot of reviews of the product, suggesting that the reviews were carried over from XMT or DP reviews. Not sure.

Blackfire has one, and it is currently BOGO.

There is Marine 31.

There's Poorboys.

Of course, Griot's has one too.

Snappy cleaners for bigger batches.

What do people like? Is anyone using a basic APC like D103+ or D108?

I have had positive results from CG pad cleaner

Poor Boys has a good one. I can't stand the Blackfire one. It has a very strong chemical smell.

I'm currently using th XMT polishing pad cleaner. I got them on BOGO before the brand transitioned to McKee's. Here's my review on it:
Review: XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner

I asked Nick@McKees37 if this is the same as the McKee's 37 polishing pad cleaner and he said they made slight improvements.

Once I run out of my XMT, I'll be getting the McKee's as a replacement.

I just use an ornage based apc and toss em the washing machine with 3D towel Kleen and have been having excellent results.

Chemical Guys Pad Cleaner works the best for me. Just soak and rinse.

I agree. Blackfire is just to strong and toxic. Poorboys works very well.

I had 2 bottles of the XMT stuff and I thought the smell of that one was kinda strong. I have the poorboy's now and I like it and will continue to use it.

McKee's or Poorboys

Ive been using XMT for about 1.5 years and ever since I have tried the PoorBoys I havent touched the XMT anymore. I think the XMT is great but PB just does a better job. Stains that the XMT didnt get out came out with PB and it cleans the pads just that much more to make me GLAD I tried it even though I was happy with XMT
