Cleaning PC pads?

I started out and went the expensive route and have one pad for each product that I use but I've noticed with my finishing pads that they aren't taking all the polish off when I go to remove anymore. My question is, what method of cleaning your pads completely do you use? Thanks in advance.
 
i keep a bucket of soap and water out when i'm using my pads. After i'm done with a pad i dunk it in and lightly rub the product off. Then i shake the pad till the bulk of the water is gone. You can also put the pad on a rotarty or PC to shake more water
 
I now use the Sonus der wunder wash.Although a dawn wash cleaned pretty good in itself.

and watch out for flying pads LOL !!!!! Those things fly pretty good :D

quick question - are you using the finishing pads to REMOVE the product, or APPLY? From my understanding, finishing pads are used to apply fine glazes and LSP's, not to remove products. If you want to remove products via machine, you should be using an MF bonnet over a pad...
 
oh wow, I never knew that... I was always under the impression that finishing pads were used to apply... learn something new every day :)



how come you don't like buffing off by hand?

I usually take the wax/sealant off by hand. I guess it's just preference for me to remove the polish by hand.:nixweiss
