Whats the best way to clean these pads. I have the Pinnacle xmt pad cleaner!
 
Have you tried the XMT cleaner? I use Dawn direct foam.
 
Yes I did just feel as if there is still more product in the pads.
 
What product is it ?

Polishes can generally be removed with pad cleaners. I don't like stuff like Dawn, because it seems impossible to me to get all the soap out of the foam. A lot of waxes can be removed with IPA 70%. Spray pad with pad cleaner, then put a sprayer on your IPA bottle and use it like a pad cleaner.

The toughest sealants, pad stains, and some hybrid waxes are only removed with mineral spirits IME. I feel like I have to get the pad 100% clean and free of product - and this is the only way I've found to do that. IPA after will remove the mineral spirits. I've found the "safer" white fake mineral spirits all the places sell now work nowhere as good as the real stuff.
 
x2 on dawn being impossible to remove from stuff.

in the past when i used the XMT I would spray it on, let it sit then agitate the pad against itself and then rinse it out. Seemed to get the products I was using out of them at the time (Menzerna compounds)
