Cleaning foam pads How the hell do you get Poorboy's Pro Polish out of the foam pads ?
I've tried both snappy clean and soaking in dishwashing liquid and the stuff just never seems to come out all the way. It's like grease.
Any tips ?

maybe use some adhesive remover or goo gone then rinse out real quick? idk if that would damage the pad or not. i guess if its filled with that polish its kinda ruined anyways, so it can't hurt?

Have you tried just using the washing machine? I use NXT and Mothers, they both come out in the washer. Same for buffer pads, except for microfiber - I always hand wash those.

Murphy's Oil Soap.
put a quarter to half dollar size bit of soap on the pad, and work it in under running warm water. it will clean the pad right up ..
rinse the pad thoroughly, then blot it dry with a lint free towel .. (I then put it on the rotary at 1,000 rpm and hold it down in a 5 gallon bucket to spin the last of the water out)
set it in a dust free place to totally air dry, then place it in a zip lock bag to keep it clean.
Also .. the product on the pad needs to be totally dry prior to your cleaning attempt. if the product on the pad is still wet, you will never get it clean.
