Cleaning pads with a Pressure washer

[SlowWRX]

So if you hate cleaning pads like me and have a Elec pressure washer. I cant comment on gas cause I dont have one and dont know if it would be to much power and damage the pad.
I have a 1700PSI 1.4gpm unit
Using the 45degree tip.
I put them in an empty bucket ontop of the grit guard. This is after about 5-10sec of spraying
Dirty filled with polish


Pretty much 95% cleaned better then I can do at the sink scrubbing for 5min or more. All thats left is the bit of water on the face of the pad. All the polish has been basically blown out

Good call.
Great posting rops:

I use a gas PW to clean all my pads, including MF.
The backup unit has a pressure regulator that I can dial down as low as 300 psi.
My go to PW has a throttle that allows for rpm adjustment, thus psi manipulation.

I also like to spin dry Optimum 5.25" mf pad on the DW 849 with a 6.5" bp @ moderate rpm's.
Notice how the pad is distorted as the water is being released.





DRY



READY FOR THE NEXT JOB this one is done.

I also use my pressure washer, a Honda gas pressure washer. I regulate the pressure to a really low setting or else I'm sure it will damaged the pad. Then to dry I'll use my rotary for about a minute or two.
