    Happy 2011 everyone!

    Quick question...I found a few pads I used on a detail I did maybe 6 months to a year ago. They were new and only used that one time. Can they be saved? If so, how should I go about cleaning them? My cleaning practice is to use the Foam Pad Conditioning Brush and dump them in water with soap. Then dry off on towel. Will that process still work? Thanks!

    They may be long gone but worth a try. The polish may have solidified by now which would make it tough to get the remaining amount out. Thats a long time to let it sit.

    Try running them under hot water. Then dowse then in full strength Zep Citrus cleaner, agitate, rinse, repeat at least 4 times. They should come clean. Also, try to soak them in as hot of water possible with a Zep dilution as well. It should work.
