I have Snappy Clean and it works great on polishes, but I`m having a hard time with sealants and waxes.

Cleaning foam pads (by hand) ? use a spur to clean of excess polish debris. Mix a scoop of Optimum Power Clean in 3-4 gallons of water before you begin polishing. When you`ve finished with each pad, place it in the mixture and allow pre-soaking, mild agitation will release the ingrained polish residue. Intense cleaners and degreasers break up oily deposits left by car care products so the pad rinses completely clean.

I let it sit on a towel faced down (velcro side up) until I am done for the night. I then continously rinse until water that comes out is clean

I have read that Megs Super Degreaser is great. I may have to try that next time.

Another Meg`s Super Degreaser user. Spray them down, wash them out, spin em on the rotary while hitting them with the air compressor.

you could use a 5 gallon pail with hot water, 1 to 1.5 cups APC, throw pads in and let sit for about 20-30 min. Agitate with hands, rinse out and spin dry.
