But how will your ex-wife feel about sharing the freezer with some foam polishing pads?

 

"What shall we have for dinner tonight dear? Prima Swirl on a Pad or perhaps Amigo? Mmmmm, dear?"

bahahahha. having car parts lying around the house seems like a perfect living environment for me

 

Whilst in the Navy (a loooooooooong time ago) we used to roll our MotoCross motorcycles into our rooms in the barracks to disassemble and clean and reassemble for the next race.

Ok back on topic.....where's OctaneGuy when you need him?

 

Internal parts storage

 

For all of you with parts in your living room: I can make an educated guess on one thing that you don't get.

 

That's a spare bedroom type space, door is normally closed when guests are afoot.

 

Back to the question. I wash, then let my pads air dry overnight, then I store them in zip-lock bags, not in the freezer.

When I use the pad the next time, I give them a good rubbing with my hand before putting them on the machine, this gets any product off them that may still be on them. I give them a light spritz of QD before putting product on them, it helps the pad take on the product being used.

Ah....lotsie weighs in with some sage advice. And it sounds good, so that's what I'm going to do. Never thought to hit 'em with QD before use.

Good stuff.....

 

When you 'wash' are you talking in the clothes washer or hand wash with liquid detergent?

 

I hand wash the pads, with Dawn, rinse well, lightly squeeze out water, then let air dry, foam side down on a drain rack thingy.

I threw em' in the washer last detail and they looked a little beat up after. Serviceable still it seems. Think I'll try your route. Probably get a little more longevity

Thanks!

 

Unless you need to use a pad right after it is washed, just let it sit till it's dry, less wear and tear on your pads.
