Most of the time I just use worm water and wash by hand, but I clean all my pads as soon as I'm done polishing that way the polish wont be as difficult to remove from the pads.

I do use this method only for wool pads, the wash with water that is. For the foam pads I use the Pinnacle pad cleaner (can't remember the exact name) I like how it foams up, but that's just me

Wow, Carlos..what do the worms do to the pads?? hahahahhahah..sorry, couldn't help myself on that one!! for me, spin them with a spur while doing the job...every panel or two, depending on how dirty it is. After, spur again, and then in my Universal Pad Washer.

I do the same as Carlos pretty much, in that I spur them often, usually after every section, during the detail, then spray Meg's APC+ 15:1 after the detail and wash by hand in warm water

Hmm, the more I hear about wool spurs being used, the more I think I should invest in one. I guess I could technically get by with just the UPW but maybe it's just me trying to convince myself that I need to make another purchase. Should I really get one?
