Then I hope you won't have to polish a car with heavy oxidation, as you would go through a LOT of pads then
I am currently working on a car with heavy oxidized red ss paint, and I have to clean the pad pretty much after every 1 x 1 foot area. I think I would need at least 30 cutting pads if I couldn't clean the pad during the detail
I use a stiff bristled toothbrush, and it works pretty good (with a rotary that is). But from time to time when the residue won't let go, I spray the pad with QD and wipe it with a terry cloth towel, sometimes while spinning the pad. This really gets the pad clean.
I have a hard time justifying paying $12 or more for something that looks like a big toothbrush. But at some time I will probably get it, as I'm sure it's more effective than a toothbrush.
