I need help with cleaning my Pads!
you guys have any suggestions for cleaning my DA pads? I have only used them once and that was at the end of last summer. I searched the forums and couldnt find anything for some reason. I know I have read some stuff on here before. Anyway, any help will be appreciated

I through mine in the sink with hot water and Dawn dish soap and let them sit for 1/2 hr. Then fold the pad in 1/2 and squeeze the dirt out, I repeat until clean. Leaving it in a bucket over night works even better. After that some times I will put the pad back on the DA and spin some of the excess water out.

I soak mine in the sink with hot water and Dawn dish soap over night and then rinse them out in the morning with the hottest water that I can stand to have my hands in. You may have to do this a couple of times if there is dried probuct on them. There is a pad cleaner made by Pinnacle that some of the guys here use and get good results with and it can be found at AutoGeek.com. Hope this helps.

For those using Murphy Oil Soap, how much of it do you dilute with water?
A cap or two in a gallon?
Does it really clean the polish off the pads that well?
I used Simple green (about a cap full for a gallon of water) and let the pads soak for about half an hour. It semed to do a decent job but I still had to work the pads by hand to get a majority of the product out of the foam.

Awesome, thanks. That really did work well.

Ha! Yeah, that pollen is a major PIA. We haven't quite hit that point up here yet, but I'll be doing a serious detail tomorrow before heading up north (where pollen season happens even later in the season) where I spend a good portion of my summers. I park under trees and that yellow stuff really covers everything. At least by detailing/sealing the paint now the pollen will come off easier.
