    Product: Blackfire Advanced Pad Cleaner
    Price: $14.99
    Claim: To clean the hell out of some pads of course!
    Directions: Pictured below


    Alright, so I picked this up as well as Wolfgang Pad Werks (review on that comes later) on my last order. I have been SICK of using Dawn & APC to wash my pads, they do an "okay" job at best. I really wanted something that worked specifically for this.


    I left the pads to sit overnight to really test the strength of this product, I would advise against this normally.


    4 Pads, a conditioning brush, and the product.
    (Two 5.5" / Two 3" ) (Megs Cleaner wax on 5.5" // Dimondite Glass Compound & Polish on 3")

    So, of course I went for the dirtiest pad first, this pad (and now the other) are my designated "Megs Cleaner Wax" pads. 5.5" LC Flat.

    As directed, i sprayed the pad down liberally and waited 30 seconds, then started agitating with the conditioning brush.

    Now a good rinsing!

    And vuala! Here is the difference!

    Now to try with the smaller pads..

    The results speak for themselves. This stuff works great and will most likely purchase more in the future. Thanks everyone for checking out my review, I like to be straight forward and let everyone know my experience from it, good or bad, and give an unbiased opinion.

    Did you clean the pads right after using them on a car?

    I found that the longer dirty pads sit, the less likely you are to get them "back to new" clean again. Freshly used pads are super easy to clean using any apc, but if I used some pads and left them dirty on the shelf for a week, it's a different story.

    see above...hehe, i know you just missed it. :p:

    thanks for the review on the product.

    what i do, is i have a dedicated bucket for used pads and towels. right after i'm done using it, i throw the pad or towel into the bucket filled with diluted cleaner with water.

    i find that as long as you keep the pad wet, it's wicked easy to clean. i don't like the idea of having a laundry basket to keep used pads and towels and then clean them after the basket is full. i clean them after each job.

    Thanks for the review! How many pads do you think you can clean with a full bottle?

    Around 50-75 give or take, that's my best guess. And your very welcome!

    Thanks, & your welcome!
