    Master blaster sidekick for cleaning pads

    Was curious if anyone has used a master blaster sidekick for cleaning out microfiber and foam buffing pads?

    Would it work as well as a compressor?

    While I have zero experience with the SideKick, I`d sure be surprised if it were potent enough for that.

    I tried it when I got mine...didn`t seem to work that well...but neither did my motorcycle blaster 4hp either....I still prefer to use a brush

    I will see if I can get a video after work. I have a dirty urofiber pad on my duetto right now from polishing my roof on my lunch break but I don`t have anything set up to catch all the dust it may blow around

    well I had it all all de ironed (not that there was any anyways) and clayed and ready to be polished and I had a vehicle call for an interior job on Saturday and it was easy money so I took the job but it was raining so I had to pull the car out from the garage and I put a quick layer of QD+ on there because I`m just ocd like that....I got water spots on my hood`s vinyl stripes now, which I`m not happy about but I`ll use some gyeon water spot to fix that soon enough


    but I have tried using this before on pads and it didn`t seem to work very well as a cleaning device
