I don't know how you polish without one... same with a brush and foam pads... I can easily use 3-4 pads on a 2-3 step polish around the car.

Well if the pad gets really loaded and gummed up, I just clean it up in the UPW.

Do you find that you also might not need to buy as many pads because you can just re-use the same few through out a detail, as long as you use the pad washer after every couple of panels to keep them clean? Economically it seems like a smart investment then. I bought like 10 white ccs pads becuase I use them so often on a detail that when one gets dirty I just grab another and another and another but I might only need 2 of them on a detail if I keep cleaning them with the GG as I use them, that sound about right Denzil?

Yeah, by having the UPW, I really don't need all that many pads for a detail. However, it's convenient to have more than 2 pads of each type just in case you have some time constraints that you must meet and just need to power through the detail by saving the pad washing until the very end of the day.

Totally agree on that. I have at least 5 of each pad I own. I just bought some new Edge 8" CCX pads to test out and there double sided so I dont need a bunch of them, maybe 2 of each is all I would need for now, being double sided that gives me 4 pads per 2 technically and if I keep em clean throughout a detail with the UPW I could save some coin in not having to buy so many. Thanks.

Sure, no problem dsms!
