cleaning PC pads with a new tooth brush

[gymrat7953]

In another thread a forum member recommended brushing the wash mit with a hair brush to extend its life & avoid dreads. It gave me the idea of brushing my PC pads with a toothbrush ( new of course). soft bristle tooth brush / APC and the pads look like new plus you're removing the wax from the pads pores.

I've been using APC with rinsing in the sink until clear, then rinse-only in the washing machine with extended spin and drying on a standard boot dryer. So far, they come out like new.

The toothbrush might be too rough for the pad.

It might just work. I clean my Americana applicator with a toothbrush and APC, and it still looks brand new. I doubt the PC pads are will shred due to a toothbrush.

Good idea. I've noticed when polishing with the flex, no matter how much product you use it seems to dust like crazy. This could eleminate the dusting problem.

Great tip, I think it's soft enough to use on the pads.

I'll try it.

I've used brushes for cleaning in the past, not tooth brushes, but similar. The one issue I always had was that the pores would get ripped up, even by the softest brush, around the edges. Remember the pore size dictates the cutting ability of the pad so if you open those pores up or destroy the pore structure your pad now has less polishing ability.

Next time I pull out the PC I will definitely try this

I have a brush I use all the time on my pads

I tried it today, works really well.

Thanks for the tip.
