There are many good ways I've read to clean pads and this one may have been talked about but after getting so much knowledge from you guys i think i may have a little of my own i can finally give back.
What i do is use some megs apc diluted around 6:1 spray all over the pad (soak it) work it in with my fingers. Then use my small low power pw (1400 psi) adjust the nozzle to the widest setting so it's not a very strong jet. And just rinse out for dirtier pads I may do this twice. After getting all the suds out i spun dry on my rotary then either set in the sun in a tupaware container or set in front of my halogen flood light. My pads have never been damaged and come out looking almost brand new.

I hope this helps some one since I've received so much help here I'd like to think i was able to give some thing back

Thanks for that!

I typically get another bucket (1 gallon) , fill with water and clean each pad one by one, changing the water out once it turns white from the product. I air dry the pads after. Have also come out looking as good as new.
 
After reading how difficult it was to get Duragloss 501 out of pads, and not having much luck with a soapy rinse, I tried putting my pad at the bottom of a clean empty bucket and blasted it with my Karcher electric power washer from a distance I thought should be safe. I was pretty amazed at how quickly the pad went from blue/green back to white. It doesn't appear to have suffered any ill effects compared to my other pad. I did notice the next day when I went to fill up that bucket again, the inside was coated with little bits of blasted off DG. I had to give it a good scrub to get it all out.
 
Great tip! For those with a tornador it is also great for cleaning pads.
