I heard you guys like 50/50 shots? Wash Pad Brushing

[HFX Detailing]

Under the care section for the wash pads, the Adams website mentions using a brush or comb to get rid of deadlocks. I was a little nervous at first to do this, so I called up the product help line to be sure I was using proper techniques; turns out, these pads are pretty good for brushing whatever way you want.

 

I chose to use a hair brush with a handle.Something similar to this one: 

 

After little effort and some time later, my pad was as good as new! 

 

 

 

That is a noticable difference. The test wash that followed proved to be satisfactory. There was a huge difference in using the pad before/after. Shame on me for letting the pad get so bad.

 

So there it is, don't be afraid guys to get out that hair brush and restore your wash pads!

I do this regularly as well.  The only thing I would add is that you need to use a brush with widely spaced plastc bristles.  One with lots of straw bristles might leave a bristle or two in your pad.

Nice......Keeping your wash pads brushed out will save you scratches and swirls.

yup!

 

It was a night and day difference to use.

 

A LOT of dirt released while brushing too, I had to re-wash it after.

Hmmm...I wonder if this is why I had numerous scratches in the roof and hood after washing last time.  No other areas of the car though, but those two areas which were the first spots I hit.  Maybe the fibers relaxed after that.  Looked like someone took sandpaper to it.
