What does everyone use to actually clean their pads with? Thanks
wait until they are totally dry, after using them.. then use a little Murphy's Oil Soap .. work them one at time under some warm running water at the sink .. then blot them dry .. don't wring them out, as it can cause the velcro to delaminate from the back. once they are totally dry, store them in a dust free cabinet, or in a large zip lock bag.

Key words are underlined.

Like many, I use Ziploc bags for storage but, I've goofed once or twice and have placed them in there "slightly" wet. A few days later in a non-climate controled garage and it's a pretty 'fuzzy' site with the mold growth.

Pads aren't cheap. Take good care of them!

Thanks and I'll be waiting until I get back from Tenn to actually use everything. That way I can read up on everything and make sure I really know what I'm doing before I break out the DA polisher. Any recommendations on some good reference books or videos? I saw in another topic someone mentioned a video that came with his DA polisher, was that a seperate purchase or was there actually supposed ot be an enclosed video? Thanks

No, the DVD is not included with the kit. It does have some good information in it for a new user like me.

I have the DVD and have watched it three times since I bought it. I think the DVD is very, very helpful. It has a ton of useful information. I bought mine from ADS but I have also seen it on eBay a couple of times.
