What's the best method/product to clean the foam pads used with the orbital? Any easy suggestions? Wash by hand? Thanks for any comments Yes, I'm a rookie

Second Killr's recommendation on the XMT pad cleaner, that stuff is amazing (just used it this morning).

I did a review of it and some other XMT products, search by my screen name.

I didn't have any XMT available so I used some Castrol Super Clean(purple stuff) on it this morning(before the rain), let it soak for a few minutes, sprayed with the hose, worked the pad with my fingers, rinsed again, wrung out, then spun it on 6 for a few seconds......I have to say it worked pretty well:-) Degreaser was too foamy though. I'll have to get me some XMT. Thanks guys for the recommendation.

This what i use. I soak the pads in a bucket for 15mnts hit'em with a nylon brush then rinse. Works extremely well.

Asking like you did is the way I learned. I don't know if I am qualified to make a list, maybe someone else will. Welcome to the forum!
