Pad cleaning

[bimmer330i]

I just picked up a PC and ordered the essentials kit for the PC. I think Mike had a good post a while ago about cleaning pads. I did a search and found a few but not the one I am looking for. Can someone post the link so I can print it.
Thanks

Hi bimmer330i,

I'll do some searching and see if I can locate the thread you reference, until then,

Here's some things to avoid and some methods some of our other members are using

I tryed Jimmys method tonight which is:

I have more than 30 pads. They all get washed at least once a week..

We use a 3 bucket method:

1. Dawn soak for several hours or more. Hand scrub/agitate, squeeze dry.

2. Rinse, squeeze, rinse squeeze, repeat.

3. Rinse, squeeze, rinse squeeze, repeat.

If the water in the third bucket is still clear, squeeze, and spin in bucket #4 via the PC or rotary for 10 seconds, and airdry over night.

Kinda labor/time intensive, but, at $10-12 each, these pads deserve special attention.

Oh Yeah, heat is bad...

Jim

and I can say this method worked great! My pads look brand new again!
