  1. for MF pads, I use a plastic wash board in the sink after blowing them out and brushing them a bit with a stiff pad brush. Just be careful not to drive the edge of the pad into the washboard, I have peeled the MF off the foam base in the past. after a brushing and blowing off, there is not a lot left in them to clean out, 3 sprays with GG pad cleaner and scrub for about 30 seconds each half. I have the grit guard pad washer, and for foam pads there is nothing quicker for me. Use the LC pad cleaner powder in the water, give the pad 2 sprays of the GG pad & MF cleaner, mount on the rotary @ 1500 RPM, and the pad is clean in ~ 2 min. I still use mine to this day, foam pads have never been cleaner, quicker.
  2. On doorjambs that are really nasty, I use a Tornador Black cleaning gun with APC in it ( ~ interior trim dilution ). I clean it with the jar of APC on the gun. Switch to a jar with water in it, then a jar with ONR @ QD strength then shut off the jar valve and just blow out the door jamb. I keep an old towel to the interior side next to the Tornador as I move down the door jamb ( or around the trunk / hood jamb ) to get any overspray that might happen. A cloth shield of sorts. Once I am done with this, I can just use OCW on the jamb for some protection and to help make it easier to clean the next time. If I have already cleaned out the jamb and applied OCW, I can just clean it with ONR in the jar, and blow it out ( check for streaking - buff if needed ) re-apply OCW. The Tornador Black was kind of pricey, but it is worth the investment if you plan on doing nook & cranny type detail work, saves a bunch of time and is great for cleaning headliners ( dogs get the headliner dirty by the windows ).
