    Looks good! I pretty much do the same but I use a light pressure washer.

    I like the idea of using a hose. Under the sink, I just don`t get the pressure, and I end up kneading the product out of the pad by hand.

    i like using my hose on the "jet" setting. only thing that sucks is the back splash and getting all wet

    Re: How I clean polishing pads & applicators

    That`s a nice idea with no set up time!

    I use this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkLX...ature=youtu.be but it requires time to set up the pressure washer, but works very well. This was developed by user swanicyouth over on AG

    I never wring out my pads by twisting them as I feel it will eventually cause Velcro issues--I just place them between double thicknesses of an old terry towel and then just step on each one for a few seconds--they come out almost dry.
