I am going to venture a guess and say that I would need to pre clean new pads has a step to remove anything present dust etc. or is this really not a necessary step?

wanted to get an idea of common practice
 
I inspect them before attaching to the buffer but a few taps against your hand and you should be good to go
 
meant to throw this in as well... also have a bottle of pad conditioner, so that should help. :xyxthumbs:
 
I soak my new pads in the sink with hot water and some dp pad cleaner...prob not neccessary but I just like knowing they are clean and slightly broken in.

If their in a package, I visually inspect, then start using. No need to wash IMO
 
One of my first orders of pads I found little specs of stuff on them. I learned to rinse them all well with water and dry them before placing them in their home ready for future use.

You never know how long a pad has sat around in a warehouse and what kind of particles landed on it.

Could be a pack of rats crawled across it at some point in it's journey across the country or world before it was ever packaged. ROFL
 
If in sealed plastic, I inspect and use. AG has a tendency to send them and MF towels in paper bags (one of the few things I dont like about AG). IF in paper, I clean them first. I feel like I have to assume they were not protected from particles if they were free of packaging and then placed in paper bags for shipping.
