How do you clean the pads after using Blackfire Wet Diamond ?

It appears to have an oil base that soap doesn't cut through.

I tried Dawn dish soap & laundry soap without much success.

I sprayed my pads with Purple Power APC, let soak 5 minutes, then washed in the sink by hand with Dawn and warm water. I let it soak in the soapy dishwater for about 30 minutes.

When I wrung them out, they were clean.

The APC should cut it.
 
I have never been able to remove all of the WD residue from an applicator. I have two specific 6.5" Hi Gloss Gold Concours Pads I use on my PC/Flex for application, and while I clean them, they are still stained. Imagine how long it will last on the paint ;)

I designated a brand new Meg's 9006 6.5" pad for Wet Diamond and I CANNOT get it out completely. I've tried several methods and all have been unsuccessful. The pad is probably just stained, which is fine and since it is a dedicated Wet Diamond pad, i'm not really concerned.

I have not used a machine yet to apply, but I've had the same result with my applicator pads, they are stained. No worries, I just use the same ones over.

I always use a hand Applicator when putting Blackfire Wet Diamond on any painted surface, I just throw them in the wash and reuse them again with the same product.

Pretty much what I do. I use Blackfire applicators with Blackfire only, but that is why we ship a free appicator with everybody bottle of WD!
 
OK - I now don't care if Blackfire is a pain to clean out of the pads.

I recently polished my car with Meguiar's M105/M205 combo and waxed with P21s.

It looked great but I was intrigued by the comments on the Blackfire Wet Diamond so I gave it a try.

It looks even better, the results:

Not quite the "Wet-ice over Fire Shine". I do not have any Blackfire Midnight Sun wax so I used P21s. It's two coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond followed up with two coats of P21s.

That looks amazing and you have a goregous house to keep that Porsche in as well :notworthy:
 
That's the ticket (2 coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond) and it's just is so wet!
Thanks for sharing it Jeff with us here at TID.........:notworthy:
 
Jeff,

That looks efn amazing dude! Maybe you can do a seperate write up about it.

I did my brother-in-law's Audi A8 about 10 days ago, he asked if I could leave Wet Diamond behind so he could be another coat on his car. Here we are now 10 days (and 5 coats later) and I still don't have my Wet Diamond.

Bastard!!!!!
