    Hi everyone,

    Do you guys wash your foam applicator pads after using it? Can you use different products with it after washing it? For example if I use black wow with it on trim and then wash it, can I use it for some other chemical?

    Thanks!

    Depends on what's used on it. I always wash mine as soon as I finish using them, it will be exponentially harder to remove whatever you used it for if you let it sit and soak into the pad.

    Just give it a quick APC soak (5-10 min), I like to massage it about halfway to get some stuff out, then rinse after and it should be clean. The Black WOW one is one that I keep dedicated to it, I usually just give it a quick clean to get out any dirt or something. All my other foam applicators generally see the same use, but it's just habit and you should be able to use them with other products as long as they come clean.

    I dont think just washing them with the MF wash does the job.
    I just toally wash/rinse/clean them in the driveway beside the drain.
    I wet it, spray ......
    .... Wait, exactly how I told you how I clean my pads ahahhaha

    Hey man! I think I asked you about LC foam buffing pads. Do you do the same process for the foam applicator pads? I'm talking about these:
