Lake Country's System 2000 Pad Washer

I did a search and found only one post on it from last year. Is anyone using this pad cleaning system? I first saw it on the Lake Country web site, they recommend using this or the washing machine to clean their pads. Looks like a great way to clean and prolong rotary pads. I noticed Autogeek sells them.

Woolite and the washer is what my pads get. Some are over 4 months old now.

You put your pads in the washer even with velcro?

I wash the Lake Country pads every weekend. I've been using the same ones all summer and they still work and look fine.

You could hook me up with some free pads

Juztang · 10-24-06, 04:06

Free? What's that? lol

No velcro on my EDGE2K pads to come off.......ever.
No backplate to detonate on the vehicle's finish either.

My LC pads (yes has velcro) and MF go into my whirpool DUET 9400 and get 40 minutes with a spin at 1200 rpms and come out it a "happy ending". LOL

Same with my MG wash mit and WW for ONR only.

I've been using the Lake Country System 2000 pad washer forever. The one I have has lasted over 10 years now and I love it. Doesn't prolong the pad life, but certainly helps in terms of being able to clean and dry pads quickly between panels or whenever needed. I've even used it with wool and I do find that it keeps the wool soft and gets compound out better than a spur. I highly recommend it.

I have never owned one but if I did a higher volume of cars I sure would. A buddy of mine that used to run a dealer detail shop had one and it was a great tool. Especially good for the highspeed pads.

Thanks for your input on this. I don't have a high volume of cars but I like the simplicity of the system, and much quicker than the washing machine. How dry are the pads after cleaning them?
