What's up guys?
Welcome back to Detail Garage.
My name is Hector and today, we are going to go over pads.
A lot of people message and call asking us "How do we clean our pads" "How long do they
last?"
"What do I need to do to keep my pads fresh and looking good?"
(like this guy).
So, what we have here are a couple pads that are pretty beat up.
Jenn used them on her new car that she does not know how to drive,
but hey, she has a
cool car and I don't.
I'm going to show you a couple of ways to maintain your pads.
This is the easiest ways by hand, you don't need that much stuff.
One of the ways that I like to clean my pads is with Pad Cleaner and our Pad Brush.
So, you pick up your pad and as you can see, these are pretty messed up.
What I do is I'll give it a couple of sprays onto the pad and I let that soak in a little
bit.Then, I'll grab the Pad Brush, give it a couple of sprays to the brush and then you're
going to lightly work on the pad.
You don't have to dig it in.
If you dig it in, you can damage the pad, so just a nice, light agitation.
What you're going to do is you're just going to work the brush in there.
You don't dig it into the pad.
You can damage the pad.
It's just a nice, light agitation to the pad to get the cleaner in there and to get into
the pores.
Just give it some love.
Back and forth, you know what I'm saying?
Give it a little agitation.
Then, you grab your microfiber towel and you work it in there and get all that stuff that
was on the pad off.
Now, as you can see, it's getting there.
Another way I like to do it is I will run it through warm water and kind of work in
more of the cleaner and then I do that until the water runs clear out of my pad.
I will then stick my pad back on my machine and then turn it on high and get it as dry
as possible.
You can then leave them out on the table or a tool bench that you may have to let your
pads dry out for the next hour or so, or you can use them right after if you want.
So, after you work in your Pad Cleaner with your Pad Brush, it doesn't take that long, you
get a really great result with minimal tools.
So, here's a nice 50/50 of our pad.
So, another awesome annd easier way of cleaning your pad is using our Universal Pad Washer.
We have these on our website right now at www.chemicalguys.com.
Go to website and check them out.
It's an awesome, awesome product and it makes cleaning your pads a lot easier.
So, what I have here is another dirty pad and what we will do is spray another couple
of sprays in here.
There's water in here and a Grit Guard.
We'll spray our pad as well (just a couple of sprays, not much is needed).
We also have our awesome TORQ rotary.
We'll put this on our rotary like we're going to polish something and this will eventually
go in here, we'll do a couple of pumps.
This will shoot the liquid and cleaner into the pad and in a sense, condition the pad
and allows you clean it a little bit better.
So, let's get started.
Here we go.
So, grab your rotary, put it in here, close the saftely latch, and on level one, you just start
it and give it some pushes here and there.
Really get in there, don't be afraid.
It looks really aggressive.
I promise you it's not.
It's not damaging the pad at all.
You'll see the pad right now and it'll be nice and clean.
Now, you'll stop and take it off of the Grit Guard in there.
Turn this on high and you're pretty much getting all of the water
out of the pad (as much as the water as you can).
Turn it off.
Remove this little safety latch, and the pad is nice and clean.
You can do a lot more pads in a lot less time.
So, if you are a professional detailer, or not-
If you're a guy that does it at home, or a gal that does it at home, that has a lot of
pads, this is an awesome product.
Check out our TORQ rotary as well on our website ChemicalGuys.com and that's it.
These are the easiest and fastest ways to clean your pads.
