How clean are your white pads?


Mooser

Question

Long story short, someone ran into my DD in a parking lot. nice long dent / crease in the door and several 1 - 2 foot long scratches / smudge marks above and below it where their bumper rubbed into my door. 

I just needed to make it look somewhat better until I can get the damage fixed.

 

Severe Swirl (old green stuff I had) Swirl and then fine polish, ended up running around the whole truck with a quick swirl and fine then gave it a coat of liquid sealant.

 

Got rid of the big smudges and it looks a lot less noticeable (nice shiny dent now)

 

Cleaned everything and I'm wondering about the white pad. All the rest look basically new but the white is grey, light to light-medium but definitely grey.

 

Used a pad washer (DIY version but it works well) all purpose cleaner, then by hand, massaging the cleaner into the pad, rinsed and re-rinsed, probably went through 1/4 bottle of APC that's just the color it is.

 

Will it lighten as it dries?

 

How are yours?

Yep, no problem at all if they're stained as long as the foam is still good and you clean them properly, which it sounds like you're doing :)

 

I have an orange foam pad that is basically red now from polishing on a single stage paint on a boat, and another orange pad that is part grayish-black from polishing a single stage gloss black enclosed race trailer, both are fine. And one of my white foam pads has a pink hue to it as of tonight, from having a little bit too much dried up detail spray clay lubricant on a white diamond Silverado that I'm detailing. It had very fine scratches in the hood that didn't even warrant using an orange pad with Paint Correcting Polish. I'm not worried about any of them as long as they keep working  :cool:
