What do you do with old foam polisher pads?

What do you do with old foam polisher pads that lose their backings?

I cut them up into small sections and use them to apply cleaners, polishes and protectants in tight spaces.

That sounds like a good idea :xyxthumbs:

Earmuffs.

I cut them up into sections and use them as applicators for a variety of things (most often tires)

I use them for target practice. I place them on clothes lines, tree stumps, stick them on poles and assign each color a different point value. Then my friends and I have fun plinking away with 22.s. I have a big back yard with a lot of trees, so there's no danger of strays going where there not supposed to.

I think most of us do the same thing and a great way to do some recycling and save some hard earned cash! rops:

I'm surprised none of the real crazy guys have chimed in with "I use them as pillows to sleep on".

I'm about to sacrifice them to a car with single stage paint.

Some I use on black rear view mirrors/arms; and black hard plastic trim around windows on my motorhome. It turns them black. Next I toss them.

Just make that paint gleam like a pool of wet paint against a warm winter's sunset, and those pads' sacrifice will not go to waste!rops:

I love this place! I would have never thought to cut them up and use them in tight spaces. Thanks Geeks!

They make nice and safe Frisbees for kids Or I cut them into four and use them to apply trim or tire dressings.

You can always stick the backing back on a not totally spent pad, though. A waterproof, elastic contact adhesive works out great. Spray ones may work even better.
