philhibner Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 What do you guys do with your pads after a correcting session? I made the mistake of setting mine back in the cabinet and weeks later they have somewhat hardened to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nathan Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 That sucks! After I detail, I spray the foam pads with All Purpose Cleaner, scrub with my fingers, than rinse. I do the same with the microfiber pads unless they are completely trashed, if they are I wash them alone in the washer with Microfiber Revitalizer. I air dry all the pads.

0 falcaineer Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Check out this article/video... http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/28827-ask-the-shine-doc-ep-10-cleaning-accessories/ I hope you can get them back to working condition. My guess is you'll be able to, though it will take others' advice on here for how. Edited March 4, 2017 by falcaineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I spritz them with APC, then put them in a bucket of left over wash water. I will clean them later in the day, or even leave them in the water for a few days. I place a Grit Guard upside down over them to weight them down, and put the Gamma Seal lid to keep stuff out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mariner Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I was able to rinse mine with hot water after a polishing session and remove 98% of the polish. A spritz of MFR removed the rest. Then I set them out to air dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ls1transam Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Spray APC on mine any agitate with my fingers. Then spray them down with my water hose. Basically just like the video above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I spray mine down with APC, let them soak awhile then wash them out with warm water in the sink, then put them up to air dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stripesace Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I spritz them down pretty good with Microfiber Revitalizer, set them on a grit guard and with a 40 degree nozzle on my PW blast them from the center outward to the edge all the way around.Once they're all washed out, I'll take the sidekick and give them a quick blast to get all the loose water out of them, then hang them on a hook in the garage to air dry.

0 falcaineer Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hadn't considered the Sidekick. Good idea, John. Another use for this awesome tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
