LC hydro vs LC waffle pads

[FocusSTguy]

I have six cyan pads set to arrive on friday. The real test will be when my season starts, when spring arrives.

Also, great post.

Would using a soft terry cloth towel, lightly pressed against the pad help soak excess liquid?

I tried Mike Phillips http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-articles/20135-how-clean-your-foam-pad-fly.html. method and found it worked great on the Hydrotech pads. You can use a fair amount of pressure.

Excellent!

Thanks for letting me know.

I really don't see myself having a huge problem with them, especially with the upgrades David mentioned.

I have had great luck with using a pad brush on the hydro tech pads.

The biggest caveat to this is to go over the pad with the brush completely flat to the pad, and to barely make contact between the pad and brush. Scrape the surface, don't try to penetrate the surface.

The more you try to dig in, the more damage you do to the surface of the pad. No need to be a gorilla.

As of now, I have the brush at an angle, and just kind of graze it along the pad. I severely damaged a Rupes microfiber disc going to town on it, trying to get out thick, caked residue from super severe oxidation. It's still alive, but relegated to test spots.

I have started using a much bigger brush to clean MF, Foamed Wool and Denim pads

Not sure what the upside is to using the small pad cleaning brushes

That looks good. I have one of those yellow bug sponges too.

For the microfiber pads, I started using microfiber towels to absorb excess fluids, and fluff the fibers. I

Ha!

Not yet, sir. I have a detail this weekend. It's an older suburban. I was thinking of using the Hydros on it. If so, I will report back.

The best Lake Country pads I have used are the 5.5" Flats, 5" Hybrids and 6" HD Orbitals. I am sticking to those as they durable,cut and finish very well.
