0 clipser Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I was told to spray them with apc and hang dry...should work like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Spray with Adams APC (All Purpose Cleaner) and let soak for a few then go back with the hose in the garage or drive and spray them and kneed them a bit until you see clear water running out. I then set them on there side on a shelf to dry after slinging as much water out of them. You can also put back onto your PC and stick it in a bucket and turn it on and watch the excess water fly out. I learned that one here...

0 Loud Pedal Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 APC and air dry. Not sure about putting them in the washer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah I wouldn't put them in the washer. They are WAY easy to clean by hand with APC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 estecoca Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I also use a tip I read here to dry them. Put them in a bucket with the grit guard so the water pools in the bottom...however, dont leave them in there too long or the grit guard pattern will leave its imprint.

0 GerryC Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 This is what I do: Spray with APC Agitate with fingers to break the polish loose Spray with hose (I use the spray attachment on my sink) Squeeze out majority of the water by hand Put the pad on the pc, set it to 6 Put it inside your bucket and turn on the polisher to sling all the water out as suggested above Sit the pads in front of the dehumidifier in the basement or put them in the dryer on low heat for 15 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Devin04 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone use the GWC to clean their pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adam Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone use the GWC to clean their pads? Hi Devin, and YES! Report back with your findings, but I found it to work as well as the APC, at least. Thanks Devin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Devin04 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi Devin, and YES! Report back with your findings, but I found it to work as well as the APC, at least. Thanks Devin! Thanks for the speedy response Adam. I don't have any GWC yet. I'm running low on APC and from what I'm hearing GWC works on everything that APC does and cleans better, so I was planning on just buying GWC to replace my APC. Any thoughts?

0 Superdutytd Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It seems like the APC cuts through thicker grease better than the GWC? Am I the only one who thinks this? I could be delirious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Devin04 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We are thinking the same thing! It's not a bad thought. To quote some guy "We don't want to be one of those companies that offer a million variations of the same product - it just confuses people."

0 D C Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 will simple green APC work as well or any other APC out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superdutytd Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 SG does work well as an APC, but not as good as GWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Marylander Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I just did mine today with GWC. Sprayed them up pretty good, let them sit a minute, then rubbed them to lather up the GWC a bit. After that I dunked them in a bucket of warm water, squeezed them out a bit, then rinsed them clean. The GWC worked far better than anything I'd ever tried before.

0 Bubba Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 What I am hearing here is when my APC runs out I buy the GWC, That means I need to order again pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jjwvette Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 GWC it is then....I'm going to try it:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I mix the GWC 50/50 with water. Spray it, let it soak in for a few minutes then rinse it out. Works like a charm !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Junkman2008 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I confess, I cheat. I'm also waiting to see if they are economical enough for Adam to carry. They are by no means cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well if I polished it as much as you i'd cheat too :banana: Wait, that didn't come out right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
