Roger Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hello my name is Roger, im new to the detailing world i recently purchased a 7424xp with the megs m105&m205 compounds and some pads and mf towels. I own a 2005 Gmc Sierra Crew Cab, i plan on getting the paint to be swirl free though i have a few questions. I have used some pads on other cars but i didnt buy any pad cleaner, what would yall suggest i buy to clean them up?? I plan on getting started on my truck in the next couple of days, so i would like to get the pads cleaned up asap. Thanks again, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1anonly Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Roger, if you would asked me this 2 months ago I would said to use Simple Green. But now that I've used Adam's APC, I wouldn't suggest anything but the APC. The APC gets my pads very clean. I will give you a bit of advice. (This would apply if you store your pads in a air tight container) After washing your pads, make sure they are completely dry before storing them. I learned the hard way and ruined a pad because I put it in bag damp. Mildew grew in the pad and the pad crumbled apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman2008 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Maybe these pictures will be worth a thousand words. Here are some pads that I used and cleaned with APC. This is PAINT on the pads, not dirt: After cleaning with APC: The subject: Welcome to the forum. Use quality products, get quality results.
