at the time (i.e. before each panel) I spin the machine on the lowest setting and use a stiff brush to remove any polish from the pad.

Sometimes I'll just quickly wash them with hot water and fairy liquid.

Then, at the end of the day, put them into the machine with the rest of the clothes and wash.

You can never have a pad that is too clean....

+1 on sticking thein the washing machine. Though I use neat washing up liquid to get most of any wax out of applicators prior to washing them.

hmm be careful with washing up liquid, it contains salt which is an abrasive

It's completely safe, no reason to worry.

It evens cleans the car very well.

Neat washing up liquid dissolves the wax almost instantly. Then the pads get chucked in the machine. I don't use washing up liquid on the car :wink:

washing up liquid will dissolve the wax etc as that's what is designed to do to your dishes...

i tend to wait till i have a decent amount, give them all a soak in a bucket/bath for a few hrs and then run them through the machine on a normal cycle
