Foam Pad Cleaning Tool

The tool will not wear down the pads. It will "spur" the excess compound out of them. Also, if there is a gouge in the pad, you can shape it out, or shave off extra foam.

I see. I only have foam pads. Which tool should I get, the yellow plastic or metal one?
 
I have it, it's very useful especially during rotary usage but I also keep a tooth brush like brush handy as well.
 
I also have the duo-spur and it works very well. I use it for PC and Rotary. It keeps the pads very clean and is good for reshaping old pads.

How can I keep my (Sonus) pads in good condition without buying additional products? I heard tooth brushes will clean the pad, but what about between uses? Should I wash them with soap?
 
Foam Pad Care / Washing:

Snappy Clean is a citrus pad cleaner in powder form; empty the contents of one packet into a 5-gallon bucket of water. As your foam and/or wool pads become caked with residues, just peel them off your polisher and place them into the bucket to soak. Put a clean pad on your polisher and continue polishing.



A word of caution when using foam pads, check the pad face for residue build-up, when loaded with dried product they have an abrasive action that could be detrimental to the paint finish. Clean residue from pads often with a soft horsehair or soft nylon brush as metal may damage the foam
