Pad use

Hey guys,

I had a question about foam pad use. I was wondering whether or not you could reuse foam pads for multiple polishes, as long as you cleaned the pad with a horsehair brush afterwards, or washed them (??).
The reason I ask is it seems that with there being 4 or 5 different types of pads (orange, yellow, etc) that you would need 50 pads for just 10 products otherwise, so as to have a each type of pad for each product.

Yes, Pads can be washed out and reused with no problem. As long as they are thoroughly washed out and dried.

Not a problem, as well as being cost effective.
Just make sure you wash pads after use if switching to a different product. Do a search for such a term and you wil come up with member- favored methods for cleaning PC pads........
