The 8 commandments of cleaning
DOs:
- Use several pads during paint preparation.
- If the pad is soaked with polish, continue polishing with a fresh/new pad or wash out the pad.
- Carefully separate the pad from the Velcro pad using a spatula.
- We recommend washing the used pads by hand. To do this, moisten the pad generously with an alkaline cleaner (e.g. Green Star 1:20). After a short exposure time, the pads are freed from the remaining polish residues by kneading them under lukewarm water. Hot water must be avoided at all costs, as the fleece can shrink and thus deform the pad.
- Store the pads on the Velcro side to dry.
DON'Ts:
- Do not polish over sharp edges.
- Do not polish the entire car with just one pad
- Do not remove the pad from the Velcro pad on the polishing side.
- We do not recommend washing in the washing machine, as this puts too much strain on the pad. For example, the adhesive could come off the fleece, which would have a negative impact on the durability of the pad.
If you still want to clean the pads mechanically, the used pads should first be soaked in a bucket filled with alkaline cleaner (e.g. Green Star 1:20). The pads are then wrung out with little pressure and washed in the washing machine at a maximum of 30°C/40°C with plenty of water and few revolutions.
