Used pads

[radicalrev]

If you have used the meg's pad with one product such as #83...how do u make it "like new" or clean it so that I can use it with #80?? Will it be okay to mix it?

Re: Used pads

Meguiar's recommends using only one product for a specific pad and not mixing up products in one pad you must have a dedicated pad for each product. Meguiar's does not recommend washing pads because you might have some problems with the Velcro coming off but I do wash my pads after every use since I don't have that much pads yet, I hand wash them either with dish washing soap or Snappy Clean Citrus Pad Cleaning Powder and rinse with tap water.

Hope I helped.

Take Care!

Re: Used pads

hey radicalrev
I too wash my pads like sydster mention
But i use dawn direct foam. spray a couple sprays on and use my finger tips to work in then soak in hot water for a few minutes then rinse in cold water.
squeeze out remaining water and dry on a rack then put back in there original bags until the next detail.
been doing my pads this way for about a year now with no problems and even my dedicated #83 pads when used for old red single stage paint looks fresh with no traces of any paint what so ever.
hope sydster and my post give you some ideas

Re: Used pads

with Sydster and Stang Crazy. Besides following thier advice; When I air dry my pads I use the grit guard racks. This lets air get to them from both sides. Good Luck.
