Default Wax applicator pad


How do I go about cleaning a foam applicator pad for waxing. I used it last week and I'm gonna use it again soon but I am hesitant to use a dirty one.

Two choices. Soak it in the sink with very warm water and liquid dishwashing soap. Work it pretty good to get all the old wax out then rinse very well. They make buffer pad cleaner to soak and clean buffer pads, works well for wax applicators. Many people dont clean em at all, just brush it with a nylon brush to loosen the dried wax and go at it with the new wax. If it gets dirty or hits the ground it takes a trip to the trash dump. Overall they are pretty cheap and I don't reuse mine more than 2 - 3 times.

Good luck

If I think of it, I rinse mine out with plain water right after i`m done with it. Then its ready for the next time.
Or I just start off with a new one. As said before, they are cheap to replace.
