I really like Poliseal on a white LC pad applied with a PC and the Optimum Polish with a green or blue Edge pad on the rotary. The problem is getting the pads clean afterwards. Lately I've just been soaking them overnight in warm water after spraying and scrubing with a simple green type cleaner. I'm open for suggestions that will clean better and faster but will not hurt my pads.

Spray them with degreaser, then pressure wash them. The PW will not hurt the pads, and if you shake them out, then run them on a rotary for a minute or two, they will be ready to use again immediately.

I've had no problem with Dawn dish washing liquid.

Yeah, I found an old tooth brush and Dawn works ok. I just wondered if there was something out there I was missing.

I don't scrub any of the pads I just wash them with SA8 From Amway, Works GREAT in both cold and hot H2O

To effectivly clean pads we use a LC System 2000 pad cleaner, the most expensive bucket I have ever purchaced, and the most cost effective as well.
