Questions on Pad Cleaning

[WindsorGP]

Well after all said and done, I'm done cleaning my car now what are the best options for cleaning the pads, do I wash by hand with mild soap and water or through them in the washer machine on delicate and hope for the best. Last experience I did wash by hand but the drying time took days before I could move on to polish and waxing the car, I have ordered more pads for next time but I wanted to see what others are doing this way i'm not wasting my time inbetween steps from now on.

I just kind of squeeze them out on a towel as best I can and zip-lock bag them.

What about saturation inside the pad, left over product that kind.

Careful about washing pads in a washing machine, the action of the machine can loosen and remove the Velcro off the foam.

If you do choose to wash your foam pads by hand or machine, squeeze as much water out of the pads as best you can and then place them upside down where air can circulate around them but hopefully not dirt in the air and let them air dry.

Stock up on a few extra pads so you have enough to tackle a car in one day.

As for pads ordered more yesterday this way now I should have 4 80006, 4 90006 and 5 of the LC pads as they came as a bundle when I bought my G110, but should this be enough pads for now I hope.

Ya I found those really handy when I first joined I think there in the Hot Topics or the How To section.
