Wash pad interrogative

[GXPaycheck]

I noticed that after a few washes the pad looks like this. It tends to trap dirt and not let go in the rinse bucket. I'm afraid it might be causing some scratches. Normal look or not?

I usually rinse it good after a wash and hang it to dry.

Wash it in woolite for a few minutes and hang dry

I like to run mine through the gentle wash cycle to get most of that trapped stuff out, I use anywhere from 2 to 4 of them during a wash depending on what I am washing. Two for a small to medium car and four for a truck. And I ALWAYS give them a good going over after to pickout anything stuck in there too

 

 

 

And a foam gun can knock some of that big stuff off the paint before you get the wash pad on the paint :thumbsup:

 

 

 

And yes, to me that looks normal but my screen is dirty so I can't see it real good

Yours looks like mine after a wash. I just run them through the washer with Woolite. I usually use two when I wash. 1 for the top and the other for the bottom. They don't touch the wheels.

I wash mine also in the washer and they look about the same as yours, like Bill said you can pick some of the big stuff off.

I just blast mine out with a heavy stream from the hose after each use. Any particles still trapped in the fibers I pull out, but for the mostpart mine is debris-free after hosing.

Normal

thanx folks. I use the foam gun but there is always something getting stuck in there. I also use microfiber cleaner to wash. Just have to keep picking the trash out I guess.

That's what I do before washing with the Woolite. Place the pad on the grit guard and blast it:2thumbs:

Ah, that woolite and a washing machine sounds good. I soak my marked up Great White towels in a cleaned wash bucket with a touch of woolite. The towels seem to magically find the black spots on my black paint that I missed in while washing it, so before putting them in the bucket, I give them a spot treatment with APC and then soak them overnight. This seems to really remove that black marks on the towels, and when I remove them, the water is a little gray from what has floated out of the towels. Then I machine wash them again with woolite.

 

I wonder if this similar overnight soaking treatment would work for the wash mitt before tossing it in the washer?
