Applying americana I get dust like crazy!

[hemi1300]

Have had this issue for a while now, every time I apply americana it dust's like crazy. Mostly when I am wiping the applicator across the panel, and if it kind of makes a squeaking noise, it creates dust like crazy. Took a look at my foam applicators the other day, which are relatively new, and they have a good white substance still on the face even after cleaning with apc. If I rub my hand across the face or agitate with a brush the dust comes flying out. Any advice? Am I not cleaning the foam applicator well enough? Have discovered it's definitely the foam causing this issue, as there is dried wax still in the pad which creates dust when applying americana

Probably needs to be cleaned better. Let the face soak in some all purpose cleaner diluted 1:1 for about 30 minutes. See if that helps

I think you answered your question.....the pad isn't clean enough.

I always spray mine down with APC and let set sometimes over night, then spray it down again and  wash out in the sink with warm water. Wash it until you think it's clean then do it again.

I agree with Chris, it needs to be cleaned more.  I soak them for several hours (or overnight) and rub them on the Grit Guard to clean them as much as possible.

Had the same issue when used Americana for the first time. I thought I cleaned the pad good until I went to use it again! Now I do what the others have already said!
