It's our favorite way of washing after each training session as the number of pads could accumulate close to 100 pieces. One cleans with pressure washer, 3 person spin dry it.
The first pad washer is the best and quickest although it's also the most expensive but I feel if your polishing cars often it pays for itself quickly in the time it saves you. Having a clean pad is a huge time saver plus makes your work way better quality wise. Coming from someone whose tried about every solution out there just buy the first option here the other purchase options aren't worth the money they cost. I have the details guards pad cleaner that thing works well but to me it's a waste of money since it requires you to remove the pad and if I already have to do that I might as well just run it under the sink which cleans the pads decently enough.
I usually have a bucket of rinseless Wash that has the grit guards at the bottom. I dunk the pad in and rub the face against the grit guard inside, pull it out and it's down as heck. Then I hand squeeze it, put it on my polisher and on high speed wring it out in the bucket. Ready to go.
I just lazy, just remove the polishing pad then put into front load washing machine then wash together with microfiber towels. After done washing then put into a front load drying machine to dry it with cool air. So far still working fine, the polishing pads are still maintaining its softness. I am using CarPro MFX as microfiber towel detergent.
gosh i really want to learn badly from osren class about polish paint, but time is not on my side at the moment, find doin paint polish is like an art, you get to learn car paint sensitivity, the paint level, its like a science class to get an outstanding result. hope one day i have a time to get into one of their class
Come join us, we would love to have you! Our courses are designed to progress step by step. So you do not have worry about overloading/jamming your braincells. Side note, there are occasional open demonstrations from time to time, perhaps you could participate in that to find out more. Event details will be listed on our FB.
I dont recommend pressure washing some pads. But if you do, have it a long distance away. Use wool wash with wool pads to keep them smelling nice and staying soft and fluffy. If using the system 4000 pad washer make sure you have a polisher that spins fast enough to get the pad barely damp or your pad will be too damp.
Do you clean it each new section you touch? For example. If you’ve got big doors like I do, and it’s 4 sections per panel. Would you clean the pad each section? Or clean after you’re done with that panel?
Usually, after each panel. Occasionally, we will clean it after several sections. There is no hard rule, but if the pad is dirty and cutting feels a little different (even before completing an entire panel), we will clean it. There is no definite rule here, but a proper prepped car, (wash, clay and tar being removed) will ensure pad stays cleaner for longer time
contrary to that, we recommend using pressure washer as it doesn't introduce friction from scrubbing the pad clean. we found that it extends the lifespan of pads. It's safe on pads just like it's safe on the waxed and coated cars. Doesn't not tear anything apart unless use incorrectly.
Hey Croes, osren.com/product/tools-and-accessories/all/system-3000-pas-washer-da It's the pad washer by lake country that we are using. We do sell it physically but not online at our e-store. you may find the our distributors here : osren.com/distributors
Hey, so for heavier cuts/compounding, we often clean it 1/2 of a panel or so, we find that heavier cuts result in more residues. for polishing or lighter cutting, we can get away with cleaning the pads after completing a panel (door/hood).
If you exhausted the clear coat, you will have to respray it. It's somewhat of a paradox. It's not easy, yet not difficult to exhaust a paint clear coat. If you know what you are doing, the paint would last for years to come even with regular polishing. When it comes to 'polishing', there are 2 different types. namely paint correction vs paint cleaning. We wrote about this and trust that this will help you to understand more: osren.com/blog/2020/11/06/paint-cleaning-the-vital-maintenance-after-paint-correction/
The best one is the one that can remove the defects on the car while leaving behind minimal after-defects. It varies from paint to paint and should be seen as a combination approach rather than a singular pad.
hey, yes. totally possible. spin dry it at the highest speed. it should be around 90 - 95% dry we find da spins dry better than rotary (because of the throw)
I start with a spun dry pad. You will get almost all of the water out. But I find it balances the machine and reduces vibration. It also makes the product spread out better.
Compressed air it's not the best all-rounder in our experience. On foam and wool pads, it doesn't perform well in blowing off dust on the surface when it's still slightly damp from the polishing cream. Cleaning on the pad washer is by far our favourite.
Spray some body shop safe liquid or onr rinseless wash, give it a quick gentle rub then blow with compressed air, aiming the blow gun across the pad not at it. This will clean it very well.

Can we talk about that perfect video loop?
Great video. I never even thought about using the pressure washer😂

How is this great?
Are you impaired in some way? You never considered washing something to clean it?

you have to "Hawk tu " on the pad to clean it good !
Ive used the pressure washer method for years. Wish i had 10 of each of my pads but that would be a couple grand for the pads i use

Nice
No compressed air?
Or use air
Hi. May I know what you use as a pH balance cleaner you mentioned? Ty
Hey , there are couple of pH balanced cleaner to pick from, this case, it's our fabric cleaner in this video
How often do you have to clean it ? After polishing the entire car ? Or each panel
Hey Modz, we recommend after each panel. unless the particular panel is gigantic, then perhaps half of the gigantic panel.
How do I save this video to watch in the future
make a video with your potatoe
Option 4 compressed air gun and spinny spinny 😅

Pressure washer will destroy the cells in the pad. Don't do that!!
contrary to that, we recommend using pressure washer as it doesn't introduce friction from scrubbing the pad clean.
we found that it extends the lifespan of pads. It's safe on pads just like it's safe on the waxed and coated cars. Doesn't not tear anything apart unless use incorrectly.
@@OSRENOfficialokay thank u 👍🏼
Link for the pad cleaner?
Hey Croes, osren.com/product/tools-and-accessories/all/system-3000-pas-washer-da
It's the pad washer by lake country that we are using. We do sell it physically but not online at our e-store.
you may find the our distributors here : osren.com/distributors
How often are you cleaning the pad? Every section before you apply additional polish?
Hey, so for heavier cuts/compounding, we often clean it 1/2 of a panel or so, we find that heavier cuts result in more residues.
for polishing or lighter cutting, we can get away with cleaning the pads after completing a panel (door/hood).
@@OSRENOfficial thank you! I appreciate your answer and wisdom
where can i find the pad cleaner bucket?
The one we are using is my lakecountry system 4000. Hope this helps!
Or just use dawn dish soap
What happen after the first layer of the paint gone ? Does that mean it cant be polish anymore ?
If you exhausted the clear coat, you will have to respray it.

@@OSRENOfficial wow , tqsm for the info !
@@OSRENOfficial i see
which polishing pad is best?
The best one is the one that can remove the defects on the car while leaving behind minimal after-defects.
It varies from paint to paint and should be seen as a combination approach rather than a singular pad.
If you want to do 1 paint correction job for 6 hours than the last 2 methods are good lol. They don’t dry quick, they never do 😂
Can you reuse the pad straight away after cleaning it out and spinning it dry(using the one pad for a whole car)?
hey, yes. totally possible.
spin dry it at the highest speed. it should be around 90 - 95% dry
we find da spins dry better than rotary (because of the throw)
@OSRENOfficial thanks so much for the reply. Being only slightly damp shouldn't affect the cutting ability of the compound too much?
@@perfectshave85 not too much, hence 90-95% dry.
alternatively get more of the same pads and rotate accordingly
I start with a spun dry pad. You will get almost all of the water out. But I find it balances the machine and reduces vibration. It also makes the product spread out better.
Do you recommend also using compressed air for cleaning the pads ?
Compressed air it's not the best all-rounder in our experience. On foam and wool pads, it doesn't perform well in blowing off dust on the surface when it's still slightly damp from the polishing cream.
Cleaning on the pad washer is by far our favourite.
You’ll also blow chemicals in the air so will need to wear a mask if you use compressed air
He to clean your pad- clean it
This is why UA-cam is a dying platform and why this video has no interaction
Yet here you are. Interacting. 😂
@@Kynetguy I won’t be your friend. Stop dm’ing me
I use apple cider vinegar to clean the pad 😂
Can someone translate this to me please …
