How are you cleaning them?

To clean them, Im letting them soak in a mix of REALLY hot water and Dawn detergent for about 30 minutes. Then Ill take them out and wring each one out into the hot water mix, dipping it back into the hot water/suds until after I wring it out I can tell there is no more product left (you'll tell, "product water" comes out milky, not like just soapy water). Once Im satisfied there is no more product left, Ill start spraying it down with warm/cold water, and wringing it out under the running water until that water comes out clear.

Then I squeeze out the excess water (between folded halves of a WW towel works very well, you can actually use the pad very shortly afterward), and either go back to working on the car or just let them air dry overnight.

Be advised, SSR1 seems to stain any pad its used on. I believe this was confirmed from Poorboy himself as "normal" (he said SSR1 stains his pads too, so it must be normal). For SSR1 pads, I use the same procedure, maybe put a little more effort into it because the stain will always be there, I just like to make sure all of the old product is out of the pad.

Cool thanks. That's the same way I clean my 7.5 Lake Country pads. I've also found that ssr1 stains pads. The first time I used it I must have spent an hour washing and rinsing the pad until I figured as long as the water comming out of the pad looks clean I should be ok.
