snappy clean powder

so i put all my pads in a bucket to soak in some cleaner to loosen up the polish residue overnight with some water and a packet of snappy clean piowder. i come back in the morning and all my pads are blue... :mad2:

AVOID this product!

 

I have never used this product berfore. I usually soak or wash my pads in Micro-Restore...Why blue...:shrug:

 

I love snappy clean.What happened?

 

Mine says "Soak for up to 15 minutes" on the container.

 

I use DP which is the same with no issues

 

I use Snappy all the time and never encountered that problem.

 

That's odd, I've used Snappy quite a few times never had an issue..but then again I never left pads soaking over night :shrug:

 

did you leave them soaked overnight??? That would explain it...

 

Never had that issue when I let mine soak (MF's included). Maybe chemical reaction with whatever you are using and the powder? :shrug:

 

It happens when you leave Menz PO106FF on white foam pads. First rinse the residue off the foam pad on running warm water before tossing it into the bucket with snappy.

 

Cant be cause you left it overnight. I actually leave mine for a few days cause i end up forgetting about it and nothing has happened.

As mentioned though if i used 106, usually i have a brown stain from the polish but thats about it.

 

:giggle: Sorry...when I read that part it made me chuckle.

 

Yeah I've had that issue, but I let them soak for 20 mins then had to squeeze out the 106ff. Definetly rinse them before soaking them.

 

I left a bunch of pads soak overnight in some snappy clean they didnt change colors. threw them in the wash with some dp mf cleaner and they're fine. Weird issue.

 

What's your process with the Micro-Restore? Since it can degrease MF's of polish and wax, figured this would be a good alternative to Dawn or buying Snappy Clean for pads.

 

i clean pads right after use so no need for presoak and used that cleaner packet today, works fine i guess

 

Hi Bonehead. My process is very simple. I soak my pads and towels (not together) in a big sink I have in my basement. I only use one ounce or less and let soak for only a few minutes and then wash and rinse by hand. Then I towel dry as much as I can or spin dry with my back up rotary and thats it...:thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

Excellent! Thanks, Buddy! Have any experience with Menz Power Lock? Does it work with this stuff too?

 

I use this to clean my pads. Been using it for about 4 years or so now.

DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator was created to provide detailers with a fast and effective way to clean pads without soapy residue or foamy degreasers.

 

Looks good. Just trying to use stuff I already have. If the MR doesn't work, I'm getting that or Snappy Clean.
