    SPF should not dust that much. The only time I found it to dust a lot is when my pad was dirty. By that I mean, polish dried within the foam pad and when used it dusted like a dust storm. I now soak my pads overnight in apc before washing and drying.

    I had never seen it that bad before either

    I toss my pads in a bucket with dish soap, squeeze them a few times to make sure they are saturated, and let them sit while I clean up and put my gear away

    Then I take them to the kitchen, rinse them and wring them out, and get a bar of laundry soap and go after them

    I learned that from Sandro from Car Craft on Youtube

    They come out CLEAN

    I will try the SPF again on a door because thats next going around the car and use both a new pad and a cleaned pad and see what happens, and I noted the humidity is 61% right now so hopefully that will be the same

    My first thought was a weather anomaly but 61% is pretty normal

    IDK

    Thanks, I really love it too

    It looks different at different times and in different light, almost seems to have a touch of purple at times

    It's been said a number of times not to wring them out, I'm sure someone can explain why. I clean my pads with that brush and let them soak in water and rinse them again and push the water out with the palm of my hand and let dry naturally.

    I’m sure it’s an adhesive issue

    Been doing it for 15+ years and can’t say a pad has ever died because of it

    Just finished the laundry from today

    Rsurfer, you will enjoy this

    The mint colored stack of towels came from Ranney
