seal them in a ziploc bag and then use them tomorrow night or do I need to wash them out each night. If I need to wash them what is the best way to wash them out and be able to use them again in 24hrs. Im going to have to do a few hours of work each night after work but wont be able to finish my entire truck. Thanks Im a newbee with a PC, 8 hours just to wash and wax was just too much to do by hand ever again. I have searched and been able to find answers to most of my questions. You guys are full of helpful info, and a great deal I would have never known.

Thanks in adavance.
 
Wash them after every use. squeeze them dry and stand them up. They will dry overnight. Welcome, and good luck with the PC. You are going to love that thing.
 
Yeah I'd wash them after each use. They're much easier to wash out before the product has a chance to dry in and on the pads.

Rinse them out and then stand them up. They'll be mostly dry the next day, except maybe the bottoms. Grab the pad by the top, and swing the pad toward the ground. Cetripetal (or centrifugal...I always confuse the two) force will push the water out of the pad.



To wash the pads, take some Dawn and warm water in a bucket, and scrub the product out of the pad with your hands. Then rinse it thoroughly.
 
would this delaminate the velcro backing for example sonus,meguiars,LC, and so forth. and void the warranty...

by the way i have meguiars pad i was told they upgrade there adhesive pads can you still do this cleaning method...

also correct me if i am wrong get a five gallong bucket with warm water mix some dawn soap(substitue that with rejuvenate/snappycleaner) then drop the foam pad velcro side up allow it to soak(will it float) few hours then squeeze/agitate the soap and product out so your wetting/cleaning the velcro backing as well when agitate by hand or toothbrush....please add anything i forgot to mention...thanks
 
You don't need a 5gal bucket to wash pads. I usually wash two at a time in a 1gal bucket. Yes the pad will float, even if it's saturated with water. Squeeze the air out of it when you drop it in the water. That way the soapy solution will be allowed to get into the entire pad.
