Pad cleaners, Snappy Clean and XMT

I have and love both Snappy Clean and XMT Pad Cleaner but I'm running low on XMT. I prefer the ease of use of XMT. Just spray, agitate, rinse. Mixing part of a Snappy Clean packet for only a couple pads is annoying.

Is there is any reason I shouldn't mix a concentrated batch of snappy clean to use in a spray bottle?

I use the DP Pad Rejuvinator which comes in a larger canister and I can vary mixing based upon number of pads. No packages to open and try and store, just close the lid.

When I run out of Snappy clean I will be buying DP for sure.

Man, you could just use half or less of your snappy clean, re-fold the package and use it next week. This is what I do. I do 3 week with one package.

I do the same thing already...

What I was asking is if anyone knows whether it is OK to use Snappy Clean in a concentrated form in a spray bottle. Well I went ahead and tried it. I measured out 1/4oz. Snappy Clean in a measuring cup that came with DP Microfiber Cleaner and added to a cheap 710ml Walmart spray bottle. I like it! Convenient spray, excellent cleaning power and cheap to mix. Just over $1 for 5-6 bottles of pad cleaner spray. I'll keep experimenting with dilution ratios. :xyxthumbs:

Instead of doing all of that, why not just go to walmart and buy a bottle of dawn power dissolver and just use that instead of doing all of the experimenting and mixing. Its excellent if you are just cleaning a few pads on the go.

For one I enjoy experimenting/testing. Secondly, I already have a lot of Snappy Clean... a product made by LC for cleaning LC pads (Power Dissolver is a dish soap). Plus, like I said, it only costs about $1 to mix several bottles worth of cleaner. It is just a convenient and money saving way to clean a couple pads and I thought I would share my experience with my fellow AutoGeeks.
