Default What's the best way to wash my Adams dual PC Foam pads?

My current method is soak in some warm soapy water (with pure ivory liquid soap), and then scrub by hand until clean. Again warm water and Ivory liquid.

I then throughly rinse, squeeze, and hang vertically to dry.

Any thoughts here?

I thought using dish washing soap wasn't good for the pads? I usually just use car soap

Default I've gotten lazy... I just use the washing machine now. I try to presoak

in a warm bucket and squeeze out excess before I machine wash. Frankly it works fine for me and I have no interest in cleaning pads after detailing.

Your method is closer to textbook, so if you are cool with it, keep it up.... or you can always join my lazy bastard club. We have jackets.

Default Nothing, obviously

Otherwise you wouldn't be a lazy bastard and would therefore be ineligible for membership. You could always join the procrastinators club when we get around to organizing one.

I wash mine in a bucket with Dawn, rinse under the faucet and then air dry on a rack.

Default Soft bristled toothbrush and soapy water while on your PC...

You're trying to get the wax build-up out of the surface.
