How to clean wax from foam pads
I got some LC pads , and I have a soft wax I will be applying. I plan to use my DA and a foam pad. However , how will I clean it ? Doesnt wax repel water by nature ? I have some all purpose cleaner I use on my pads after a polish. But what about wax ?

I use my Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer. I usually spritz the pad with some APC and work it into the pad some then run it on the Pad Washer. I haven't had any problems cleaning them.

Re: How to clean wax from foam pads
When you're done you can use any APC to clean off your pad. Either have a bucket with a APC solution premixed and or spray the pad itself and work the product out with your fingers and wash it out with a hose.
I usually have a bucket with a APC premix, soak the pads in there for a bit, pull them out and work the products out with my finger and spray them down with water. After that I try to get as much foam and crap out with my hands and then have them laying face down on a grit guard inside of a bucket to air dry them.

As a car shampoo, Dawn is forbidden. But to clean wax and sealants out of pads, it works great!!
