    What is the best way to keep the pads and MF`s looking and feeling new. My pads with just soap and water never seem clean enough to me. Also, the wife washed the Waffle Weaves and used a Fabric softner and now they just don`t absorb like they used to. Ideas?

    Vinegar in the rinse cycle for the waffle weaves. For my pads I use Meguiar`s APC at 10:1 or 4:1 depending how nasty they are. Let them soak in that for an hour or two, them dawn dish soap overnight. Seems to work pretty good for me.

    MF can be washed with detergant just like your clothes, make sure to use NO fabric softeners, a bit of color sfe bleach works well also



    Pads- spray with APC let dwell, pressure wash and spin dry on a rotary
