Anyone have a better way, chime in. Won't hurt my feelin's to learn something new.
I’d skip the water overnight and go straight into the WG Pad Cleaner.
If I get off the couch I’ll show you how I clean my pads and post pics. Otherwise just follow the directions on the bottle and that should suffice.

Re: HELP. Let a friend use my buffer/pads.
I’m gonna through out Snappy Clean. It’s made by LC and you can get it fairly cheap. I had a pad sit for a week with griots correcting cream in it.
Mixed the snappy clean with some hot water and it rinsed perfectly clean and couldn’t tell the difference from the ones i cleaned right away

If salvageable, how?
Thanks in advance.
Just throw the pads away and get some news one's. I'm not understanding why ppl are saying you over reacting. If you gave them to a friend clean then they should have been returned to you cleaned.

•What the heck: go ahead and give
him a couple more while you’re at it.
-That way: the next time he wants to
use your buffer on his vehicle he will
have some pads of his own.
•Why risk a decades old friendship
over a couple of pads?
And you did say his vehicle does
look better—Win. Win.

I'll go a step further....
IF I actually let someone use one of my machines I'd tell them they had to:
A. Use their own pads, or
B. Could use mine and reimburse me money for new ones.
Just me folks.

I'm not letting some fool ruin my good pads!
Honestly, I don't lend anything of mine out... learned that as a kid. I got my stuff back broken or worn out.
