Pads and Products

[IBAUCLAPlaya]

1. To apply Scratch X I use a foam pad right?

2. To apply DC #2 I should use an even coat applicator right?

3. To apply NXT liquid wax I should use an even coat applicator right?

4. How do I wash/clean the foam pads?

5. How do I wash/clean the even coat applicators?

6. How do I wash/clean the supreme shine microfiber towels after buffing?

Sorry for all my recent questions, these are my last, then I shall detail my car w/ Wash, Clay, Scratch X, DC#2 and NXT. Then I will post pics .

Thanks in advance...

1. Depends how aggressive you want it to be, but use a foam pad for the final application.

2. Any applicator will do fine.

3. Ditto #2, just preference again.

4. In the washing maching or by hand.

5. Same as #4, by hand seems to be the better way of cleaning these though...

6. Wash them all together in the washing machine with some Woolite.

For the applicators, I don't need soap right, I just rinse them w/ water?

For the microfibers, is it ok to buff off say Scratch X, then shake out the MF towel, then buff out the polish, with the same towel?

For washing the microfibers, what is Woolite? What water combo should I use, like wash cold/dry cold? Then air dry?

No, you will need soap to help remove the product from the app. pad.

Shaking the towel won't do anything. It is best to use a different towel for each product.

Woolite is a gentle fabric cleaner.
You could use any laundry detergent as long as it doesn't have bleach or fabric softener in it.
I wash my towels in cold water and air dry them, but you should be OK to dry them in the dryer as long as it is on low heat.

For the pads and even coat applicators to wash, do I just get a bucket of warm water, put some dawn soap in, and let them soak for a while?
