    LC CCS pads and a dryer?

    just wondering if its possible to put the pads in the dryer after cleaning them. I'm guessing u can't but just want to make sure.

    All I know is that I read here where one guy's wife threw one of his in, and it pooched out in the middle....

    I'd like to know the real consenus, too.

    Spin them on your DA or rotary, then wrap them in a towel and give them a squeeze around the edge. Ready to go, works for me.

    This is the process I use. It's always worked for me.

    I air dry mine also but if i need it to use right after cleaning giving it a spin works perfectly.

    I've used a hair dryer in the past to dry them when I've had only a single pad or maybe two...

    Re: LC CCS pads and a dryer?

    I wash mine in the washer on delicate with warm/cold settings with a normal amout of tide and about 1/3 cup of apc, I do a second cycle with no cleaners, I then dry them on low heat. It does shorten the life a bit I am sure, but I go through way to many pads to sit around and clean them by hand. meguairs original soft buff wont last at all. the new ones are upposed to be washable but I havent used them
