cleaning wool pads...

[wannafbody]

I`m not sure how others clean their wools pads but after rinsing them a couple times with a hose and letting them drip dry I`ve changed my method. I mostly use ZPC and HTEC and mist the wool pad thoroughly with an ISO/water spray, I simply take a clean MF towel and work it over the face of the pad. It breaks down the polish and leaves the pad clean. I suspect that Menzerna would respond similarly. If using oily polishes and compounds this method might not get them clean enough.

I dont think you are supposed to rinse them... I just spur mine.

I always mines. I don`t clean them with a MF (unless dedicated to this use) because the threads contaminate the MF. I just rub them with a normal bar soap, then use the "CENTRE" setting on my multi-pattern garden sprayer which produces very strong, thin needle like water jets, then spin them dry on the rotary @ 3000 RPM, and let them dry. They are drying in no time and they are still like brand new. I use this setting to clean my foam pads too. Quick, convenient and this pattern pushes even the most stubborn polishes out of my pads.

Yes it is worth every penny!

oh nice... I haven`t washed mine yet afraid it would harden the wool like some have said. I`m contemplating getting the system 2000.

I didn`t think about the fibers messing up the MF. I assumed the MF would wash clean.

I spray woolite on them while rinsing in hot water, spin dry on a rotary, and then immediately use a hair dryer to dry them completely.

Man I hope you don`t do that where a neighbor can see you.:laugh:

I soak mine in a bucket with warm water and a little Dawn - then rinse and spin dry on the rotary.

That would be a little odd... :chuckle:

I soak them in water and simple green for a good 20 minutes.

Then message them.

Then rinse thuroughly.

Then sping dry on rotary.

Then let air dry the rest of the way for about a day.

When a day goes by i put them back on the rotary and spur them.

Look brand new.



I only use the edge wools so i dont know if this method is safe for any other wool pads not made by edge.
