Polishing cars means cleaning polishing pads at the end. This task can be pretty tedious, some pads and polishes clean either than others.
I have had this Detail Guardz Pad Washer in the cabinet for a while now. After completely forgetting about it after polishing the Mustang, I finally had a chance to try it out after polishing my Ranger this week.

I have to say, these are pretty expensive for a couple of pieces of plastic, and you do need to buy the Detail Guardz Dirt Lock grit guard separately as well. Although, these are quite a bit cheaper than the more advanced Lake Country pad cleaner. If you were doing this professionally, the Lake Country version would be worth the extra spend, for me doing one or two paint corrections a year, the Detail Guardz one will be enough.

I typically rinse used polishing pads under running water before throwing them into a bucket with APC or microfiber detergent to soak. I will then rinse again and throw them into the washing machine.
The pad washer comes with two main parts, the plunger/pad holder and the unit that squirts water from underneath. As mentioned, you will need the Dirt Lock grit guard as well and an appropriate bucket.
The black pump action part attaches to three specific grooves in the Dirt Lock grit guard.
Once attached securely, the unit will then spring up and down when downward pressure is applied.
Place the assembly into the bucket and fill with water to just above the top of the unit.
I still did a pre-rinse and soak in Green Star, mainly because I wasn't sure how effective the pad cleaner would be. To use, attach a pad to the plunger, which is fitted with the same hook and loop material as the face of your polisher.
Then push the pad up and down against the attachment, rotating as you go.
Do this as many times as you feel necessary. The up and down action shoots water upwards into the pad, flushing out the Green Star and remaining polishing compound.
From here, depending on how thorough you were, either throw them into the washing machine and/or allow to air dry.
Having hated cleaning used polishing pads ever since I started machine polishing, this item makes the job easier.
