What do you clean your buff pads with?

[ufm82]

I've filled up my twisted wool pad with Meguirs #49 and I don't know what to clean it with. Regular degreasing soap did nothing and I don't want to try that much acetone or thinner. <br /><br />UFM82

Let it dry and use a firm bristle brush to fluff it up. Otherwise just some water should help rinse it out.<br /><br />You could also through it in the wash with some rags.

Put the pad back on the buffer & while running at medium speed, use a screwdriver or similar tool to "spur" the pad. Start at the center and work out to the edge. This should be done regularly during use as the pad begins to load up.
