How do you clean your foam and mf wax applicator pads? I'm referring specifically to hand applicator pads. I've seen Megiuar's recommendation but that required a rotary, which I don't have so that was not helpful.

I was JUST reading about this a few days ago when I ordered new pads for my polisher...

I just throw all the towels and pads in the washing machine. Hot/Cold setting, throw some detergent, cascade, and dawn in there.

I hand wash the real waxy pads first though with dawn to get out most of the wax.

BTW... good luck getting responses in the detailing area... it doesn't seem to have too many visitors

Hand washing with dish soap worked really well on the foam pads. Some of the MF pads still had a light yellow stain which I guess I won't be able to get rid of.
