Rinsing out the soap is hard. takes way too much time. That's why I personally like DP polishing pad rejuvenator. Cleans well, easy to use, and is not very pricey. With 19 oz for $16 it's only $1 per application.

Looks like it worked very well. Nice review Eric. My wife won't go for me cleaning my pads in the kitchen. It's a good thing I have a sink in the garage.

But I apply/use my PD with latex gloves. This stuff is pretty strong, and has a strong chemical smell as well.

Keep that in mind if you go this route. Not quite as bad as bleach, but still very strong. I think the gloves were a must have if you are a weekend warrior.

My .02 cents.

I've used Dawn's Power Disolver, and its the best hand cleaning pad product i've used.

My favorite and easiest way of cleaning buffing pads is to spritz some APC on em and pressure wash them. One pass with the pressure washer cleans them perfectly and a spin on the rotory dries them. I've been using this method for a year now with no ill effects.

Very interesting post, I do hope there isn't any long term damage from cleaning the pads with the DPD. What is the 2nd must have? Would it be the Edge pad cleaner?

if you take the PD and mix it 50/50 with water in a spray bottle it cleans as good and easier to rinse out..its very concentrated in its own bottle....just keep some straight for hard to remove waxes like collinite...it only takes 1 spray to clean a pad...let it sit for a few minutes and then wash and rinse....

PD is difficult to rinse out so after cleaning my pad with PD, I will generally clean them again with Dawn to get the PD out. Works pretty well.
