Method to remove product from pads/applicators?

What's the best method to remove waxes, sealants, compounds, and polish from pads and applicators?

 

I soak in APC + hot water then do a bit of manual pushing stuff out of the pores of them applicators.
for pads I soak em in pad washer then scrubadubdub

 

I do the same seems to work good.

 

I started using dish detergent + hot water for 5 min...works great for applicators and dirty MF's

 

After I'm done using the pads I set them in a bucket of hot water with dawn and zep citrus. Then later I clean them using hot water n dawn

 

When I'm done with pads I soak them in hot water with dawn and then scrub them using more Dawn...seems to work well. (Except I can NEVER get Powerlock out of anything)

 

Thanks for the info guys.

Anyone use a condition specific product like CG Pad Cleaner?

I'm having some trouble getting wax out of all the pores of an applicator.

 

I just use an APC like Optimum and let soak for a while then rinse clean with very warm water. You should spray them as you finishing using them.

Dawn works too but then you have to rinse out the Dawn which takes more time.
