ECLIPSE AUTO VALET Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 always do mine by hand in the sink , bit of washing up liquid and warm water , rinse with clean water squeeze out i normally place one at a time in a towel and press down hard to get out as much water as poss then just leave to dry. then every couple of jobs ill soak them in a bucket with a proper pad cleaning product dont want to contradict any reply really , but as a point each bit of your detailing gear should be kept and washed separately. i spend ages after a full detail getting all the drying towels ,mfs, pads, washed, all separatlely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am doing some machining over 2 days, I find you are able to put them in the bag (without washing) and they are still good to go the next day - assuming they werent too clogged up from the day before.

bronzee Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 but as a point each bit of your detailing gear should be kept and washed separately. Clear snap lock bags are fantastic for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impul350z Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 i always do mine in washing machine at 40deg wash, and if they dont come clean first wash i just put through again and seems to do the trick, as mentioned above for fabric cond though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
