0 Ricky Bobby Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Nick, is it ok to clean foam and MF pads with the MFR&B, i.e. is it stronger than APC for cleaning, but still safe? I use a ton of APC when cleaning my pads and applicators, and if MFR was stronger and worked better I'd definitely start using it as a pad/applicator cleaner, as well as detergent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I've found it works well on sealants and waxes, but APC seems to break up polishes better in my experience. I just cleaned about 30 pads last night, so it's fresh in my mind. Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I would say then you would definitely be the man to ask about it! I'll stick to APC then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 landshark Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) I've tried to use the All Purpose Cleaner to clean the Hex wax pad; however, after dried, there's a lot of white dust residue on the pad. Is it normal? Will it scratch the paint when I use it next time? I've tried to clean it again, and still has a lot of white dust when I simply shake the pad..... Oh, lastly, I saw there's different bottom color hex applicator from most other Adam's video, but can't seem to find them on the web site? Are they discontinued?

0 Beemer Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Have you tried letting it soak for a day or two? Put the grit guard on top to keep it from floating. mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ricky Bobby Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 If apc doesn't get it clean use Dawn dish soap and hot water to rinse it out. Works for me landshark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Holder Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Personally I squeeze mine in a shop towel until no more tire dressing come out on the towel. Then let it sit on a paper towel until next use. I don't find it necessary to clean the tire applicators. I've had the same one for over 8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
