Also, my main reason for asking this is, i know companies like meguiars recommends cleaning the pads like this but they also say to use the same product on it, but can the pad be effectively cleaned and able to use different products/polishes using this method. I don't have enough pads or money to dedicate each product to one pad, so i am wonder if it is safe to use this cleaning method and still be able to use different products. Seems that the pads backing would last a lot longer this way, but i don't want to cause marring or other problems and cause more work for myself either. i always wondered how professionals clean there pads too, the amount they use their pads each day with different products, they would have to wash them every night if that's the way they cleaned them. thanks for the help. |
I've cleaned my pads several times over the past year or so in many differnt concoctions and have not had any problems with them. I usually hand wring them out and run them through my wringer and just let them air dry.
