Proper polishing pad cleaning and maintenance is key to make sure that the polishing pads will last as long as possible, and this will keep them fresh and ready for their next use. Polishing pads are quite expensive, so it makes sense to take proper care of them.
In this video, I go through three different methods of cleaning your polishing pads:
1. Using dishwashing liquid or an all purpose cleaner.
2. Using a pad washer assembly for higher efficiency.
3. Cleaning the pads in your washer using the same methods I demonstrated in my microfiber towels cleaning tutorial here: • HOW TO WASH MICROFIBER...

Hi pan this Carlos from Orlando fl what I am
Asking how long you work the polish and sealer into the paint please advise me
Due to this channel I have been able to do a full paint correction and ceramic coating. With 0 experience before watching this channel.
Congrats Andrew. What polisher did you buy and what brand of coating did you choose
Same here - three years ago when I bought my golf R! Used pan’s method to do a full clay bar, 1-stage compound to get the dealer-induced swirls out, then polish with essence, then ceramic coating! Using a griot’s 6inch DA polisher and so far it’s working very well for my needs - I’m no professional so it’s perfect to just do my vehicles.
@@pjfan173 Thanks Pan!! I used the Rupez mark 3 with their 3 stage system and their pads. Then I used the CQuartz 3.0 for my ceramic. All thanks to your channel! I have enjoyed the videos and now have a new hobby
Pan is awesome! He knows so much,helping us constantly!providing links to everything He uses....takes the time to record,edit and shares videos! He is an asset to all of us! Thanks, Pan!
Ah thanks for that Andrew! If I can teach my viewers a thing or two about detailing, I can go to sleep happier at night. :)
Curly Wolf here - I really appreciate Pan’s honest and enduring enthusiasm for detailing and teaching. His infectious love for what he does helps me want to strive for excellence in detailing my car and whatever I’m doing. Thanks, Pan!
I appreciate that! What's your favourite video on my channel so far Curly?
@@PanTheOrganizer Hard to select a single favorite, but among the ones I like best are the ones with Yvan and the garage tour. I also enjoyed the interviews with the scientists at Turtle Wax, 303, and the blending company. These latter three granted me new insights into the industry behind the industry! - Curly Wolf.
JUST WHAT I NEEDED!❤️ Pan is the best Man!!
I would like to thank Pan for getting me hooked on car/bike detailing... I am about 600 dollars in deep with my Karcher K3, IK multi pro pump bottles, sprayers, 4 different foam cannons, dressers, drying towels and assorted micro-fiber towels, car pro gear coming out the wah-zoo and of course brushes....I just need to look eventually at getting buffing/cutting and polishing gear which is going to hurt me again and got a feeling I need to spend another grand to have the entire car detailing deluxe kit 😂😂😂.
Glad I could share the detailing bug Tommy! 👏🏻👍🏻
I’ve actually combined method 1 and 3. I’ll rinse with a detergent in the sink then put them in the washer with my microfiber towels
Are you kidding me?!?! I just ordered pads for my polisher and you upload this video. Pan, you are always on time! Thanks for the video!
Glad I could help! And you guessed it, having clean pads and cleaning them as you polish (after passes or panels) is key to a proper paint correction.
Pan, thank you for sharing all your knowledge. Every single vid has been a banger.

That bucket pad washer worked surprisingly well!

This was very helpful. I will be following you for more information thanks

@@PanTheOrganizer Well, any English one! You have too many great videos. Definitely shorter ones are nice, but your longer ones really cover the right amount of detail and info. My trick is to watch you at 1.5x speed. You've taught me a lot about the full detail process and I've bought a lot of the products. Still looking for a good leaf blower.
One more thing that I have learned from You my Man. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. Blessings from LA 🙏🙏🙏

How did you discover my channel by the way?
I used the warm water, then sprayed purple power and used a plastic brush. They are as good as new. Thank you pan!
The Detail Guardz plunger method is awesome and well worth the money. Big time saver.
Yeah it works great!
Great video as always! I use all 3 methods depending on the mood that I am in. Most of the time I feel I can get the best results when I do it by hand though.
Thanks bro! For me the pad washer is the best for speed and efficiency. But I have seen too many videos where people don't use it correctly. It's important to use the pre-treat spray on the pad, and work it in with your fingers, rubbing it in thoroughly, and then you plunge it in the bucket and pump up and down. Mine always come out perfect as you saw. :)
A great video on a step that should not be overlooked during the detailing process. 5 ☆ pan 👍🇨🇦
Thank you!! And yes, I agree. Working with clean pads, and cleaning them between passes and panels is key to a proper and efficient paint correction.
Can pads be reused right away after washing them
Your channel is absolutely amazing. You are my go to channel to learn about anything and everything for car detailing information

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
Awesome Pan! Learning more and more every upload!
Awesome! Thank you! What's your favourite video on my channel so far Kenny?
@@PanTheOrganizer love the ceramic wax sprays vs turtle wax it amazes me and you’re the reason I made that purchase! I also just coated my car in Glassparency’s graphene coating and I’m in love!

Happy to help!
Every advice from Pan, about detailing, cannot be better explained! ;)
Thank you Alexandar! What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer Every video is enjoyable to watch. But my favourite is waxes sealants and ceramic coatings... But every video has its purpose they are all important to have. Maybe if i forget something and want to rewatch again, its always good to learn again and fun to watch
Great video. All of your videos are great. I needed this information
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice video pan those are some innovative ways to cleanse the pads.

Thanks for the positive feedback Josh! What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer it’s hard to pick but this is one of them but I might have to go with the video where you showed us how to clean rims and the process because I believe that’s my wrap point when it comes to detailing
Great as always Pan
Thanks Mike!
Super vidéo à voir tout de suite merci pan
Great video..much love and respect
Much appreciated
Good morning Pan! I don't polish but this was a good video on how to take care of your supplies. The bucket method was quite quick and effecient.
Thanks Barbara!
We need a pan the organizer house tour... that house must be next level organized
Hehe it’s my dream home. New construction. I will eventually make a full house tour for you guys for sure!
Great job Pan👍🏻😉i learned something With your drying technic on a microfiber
Glad it was helpful! Here is my popular tutorial on how to properly care for microfiber towels and microfiber products: ruclips.net/video/t_ryfGlkE9I/видео.html
Great info and timing. I gave pads to clean. Also very useful to know how many pads you use for a typical car
Thanks Ric!
Awesome video Pan!! However, do you have a video of removing the black residue from polishing chrome, aluminum, and stainless steel from Terry and microfiber towels?
I was wondering what is the best way to clean my pads. Thanks for this video.
You are so welcome!
Hi pan,
I'm a diy and was looking at the Grigots G9 buffer/water any thoughts on it? Also I was adding touch up paint to my Chevy 2011 equinox and was looking for a way to level it smoothly I was wondering about wet sanding it down or do you have a better suggestion. Thanks
Method 2 was awesome!
Yeah super efficient!
Method #2 is amazing!
Yup. Makes things so simple!
Bonjour Pan,vous pouvez faire la même vidéo mais en français svp,un grand merci.
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hey, what's your favourite video on my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizer that’s a tough one! I just watched your video of you washing your M550i and I really enjoyed that because it gave me some insights on how to be more efficient in my detailing. I haven’t seen a video yet that I haven’t liked a ton. You’re a huge inspiration and great mentor thanks for all you do!
Great vid as always 👍
Thanks 👍
How many panels/sections between pad wash? Should a visible look determine when to wash or should I assume several panels or doing the entire vehicle as long as the pad doesn't appear to have a lot of buildup? I'm just a first time end user with a new polishing tool on a 3 yr old black Silverado.
Love this guy
Ah thanks Dennis! What's your favourite video on my channel so far?
Thank you. I think I can easily make a pad cleaner like that. The other ones they sell are too expensive. Good idea.
Thanks for watching!
Pan you should run a contest for your subs to spend a weekend in your garage. You have so many cool and job specific tools. Weekend detailers dream man.
Thanks for watching Jason! How did you discover my channel by the way?

Good video. Some very good tips.
Glad you enjoyed!
So far by watching your videos and trying to learn the proper ways to detail my cars you cost me about 2 thousand dollars. For the first time in my life I m detailing my cars the proper way and loving it thank you very much. You have been detailing cars properly for 25 years and I have been washing my cars cheap for 50 years and very cheap bucket, sponge, shame,and cheap soap. 30 dollars. Now I'm retired and have lot's of time . I bought a 2021 c8 corvette will get it next year. I'm trying to learn on my cars how to detail and ceramic coating so I can do it on the c8 .could you please tell me how to do all the stages leading to ceramic the new c8
It's awesome that I was able to give you the detailing bug. I love sharing my passion and knowledge with my audience. Having the right tools and products leads to a better detailing experience and to better results as you have more fun doing the work.
Congrats on your new C8! Those look wicked! What color did you get?
And you are in luck. I have the most popular ceramic coating tutorial on RUclips which has over 4 million views. Here: ruclips.net/video/byKcYsEyWGk/видео.html

Pan, any tips on minor scratch removal on rubber/plastic exterior trims? I’m guessing meguiar’s scratch x 2.0 but that works well on painted surfaces, not sure about trims 😭
Very nice thank you Mr Pan.
You are very welcome
Bonsoir pan belle vidéo instructif même si je n'est pas tous compris en anglais bon week-end
Merci Bruno bon weekend à toi aussi!
Hello Pan I have a Chemical Guys Torq X DA polisher and I have never used it so if you could provides some tips. I want to remove light swirl marks and I have all the Chemical Guys 5" pads (Red/Black/Blue/White/Green and Orange) what color should I start with? I have both the Meguiar's Ultimate Polish and Compound as wells as the Chemical Guys Kit V32, V34, V36 and V38. What pad to start with, setting on machine and which polish as mentioned above is easier for a beginner to use.....Meguiar's or the V32 to V38. Thanks in advance for any tips you could provide.
TOP MARKS PAN. METHOD #2 IS DEFINITELY A GO. I LIKE THAT ONE THE MOST👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thanks 👍
@ 7:22 pan says “so let’s go ahead”
And I said “and start the show” 😂
Hahah that's awesome!!
Nice!!! 😊😊😊 that's help a lot to clean ...
Definitely!
i have a question the way we compound and polish the paint on the car can we do the same method on a glossy black rim ? They're no videos showing it, just how to clean them, I'm trying to get rid of minor scratches on the rim's
Pan a question please involving polishing/correction and pads. I noticed the pads Rick at RAD used on the Lexus IS video then watched you doing polishing tutorials using foam and MF on different cars. Lake and Rupes told me to use a medium MF on my soft Lexus paint then finish with Sonax. Is there a formula you use on manufacturers cars? Such as : Audi gets this pad with this compound and this polish? Porsche i use this pad with this compound and this polish? Hope the question make sense but I am thinking by now you have a guideline for manufacturers and then a corresponding “recipe” for the compound/polish then adjust based on condition of the paint. 🙏thx as usual for the guidance and hard work on the pad cleaner options. 👍👍👍👍👍
2nd method is amazing..Good results... 🙏🙏. Deepak Saini...
Thanks for watching Armaan!
Excellent video as always. What technique do _you_ use and _how often_ do you clean a pad when polishing a car? My practice may be too careful
- wash polishing pad every two panels.
- walk into the kitchen, rinse pad with the sink sprayer
- spray pad cleaner on the pad, scrub with dedicated brush
- rinse and wring
- mount pad on polisher, hold down and away from car and run polisher at 4 of 6 speed to expel water
Thanks Steve! I use the Detail Guardz pad washer system, as it's super quick. When I'm done polishing a car, I will typically have a dozen pads (5 or 6 for compound and 5 or 6 for polishing) so it gets the job done super quickly and efficiently.
So how many pads do I need for a small pickup truck (buffing/correcting) and (wax applying)
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Perfect timing. About to tackle a huge truck with only a few pads.
Using clean pads, and cleaning them as you polish (in between passes or after each panel) is key to a proper paint correction job.
Used Zaino line for almost 20 yrs. Only thing that would work well is degreaser. I used Mean Green from Cdn Tire...awesome stuff. Rinse well then would follow up with light gentle soap, Rinse well. Hand wash only.
Thanks Pan. I just spray pad cleaner on all my pads when I’m done with one during my detailing process. I then throw them in 5 gal bucket of water with some Dawn in it. Now they’re soaking while I complete my entire job. At the end of the day I through all my MF’s I used and pads in the wash with Micro Restore and everything comes out clean and done. Just less hassle then cleaning each pad my hand or working a pad cleaning device. But you need to have enough clean pads ready to go for your job at hand.
What ever works for you. Just a quick suggestion though, always wash your polishing pads separately from the rest of your microfiber towels. Pads contain small abrasives that could lodge themselves in the fibers of the microfiber towels and defeats the purpose of having good towels to work with on nice paint, as you could potentially scratch and mar the surface.
can the uro 50/50 pads be cleaed the same way?
Hey Pan! I just got my shipment of brand new Meguiars foam pads in yesterday. Is it necessary to wash them before using them on their first application? Thanks in advance.
No. You can start using them right away as is.
Have you ever created a video regarding the necessary cleaning and protection requirements for a brand new car...new from the dealer? What to do when you bring your new car home. Great videos. Thank you
Absolutely. I have tons of new car prep videos in fact! Here are a few where the customers took delivery from the dealership and brought them straight to me to perform my magic. You will see what I do for both exterior and interior:

Hi Pan quessie for you; products with “pretty” dyes in them that stain pads.
Which is better for attacking pad stains, prepared pad products or dishwasher / hand wash detergents, soak more or agitate harder?
Unfortunately, there aren't many miracles against stained pads, especially black or dark stains. The pad will still be clean, but the stains usually stay. The best way to diminish them is to clean the pads immediately after use, and using the pad washer I presented in this video really helps the most with this.
Pan, in your opinion what is the best set of pads to get for a home user. Because of you my 97 F150 is looking great.
Watch my compounds, polishes and pads video: ruclips.net/video/2JDvQBs1viM/видео.html
The best one is PTO 💯♥️👌🏻
Thanks Ayoub!
Great video, thanks Pan! I was wondering, is it possible to clean rayon glass polishing pads?
Yes same method. Or just a bit of APC, work it in and rinse.
Hey pam I was curious what pad would you recommend for metal polishing with a da polisher? I have a lot to polish and doing it all by hand sounds awful..
ruclips.net/video/_u83kxYunf8/видео.html
Love the channel Pan. Before I started watching, my garage shelves were bare. Now they're starting to look like yours!😄 I live in US in Northern Ohio and my garage is attached but isn't heated. Should any/all of these products be moved inside for the winter in case of freezing? Also, any idea on product shelf life? I don't have a detailing business and only use on my personal Car's so wondering if they would still be okay to use if 2-3 years old or would chemical makeup of product change in that time?
Could be idea for a new post.... compare effectiveness of different products that have been on your shelf for 2+ years🤔
Thanks for the feedback Joel. I appreciate it. To answer your question, it's crucial that detailing chemicals don't freeze! If they do, they're garbage. And typically, chemicals have a shelf life of 1 to 2 years if kept in stable conditions, meaning non freezing.
Perfect👌

Try using your carpet/upholstery extractor with apc and warm water
I like to use the first method with luke warm water right after I'm done correcting the car. I find that the pads come out super clean as long as you don't let the compound and polishes dry for too long in the pores
When you change pads, do you put the dirty pad in a bucket of water while you finish the rest of the car?
Yeah the main point is in fact to don't let the compound and polish dry for too long and "cake" the pad. Makes it harder to clean afterwards.
Is it bad for my washing machine to wash these pads in there? Will it coat or leave a film in the machine that will affect my other cloths? Curious why some people dont like washing their pads in their washing machine.
Hi Pan, great video. I bought the pad cleaner, and I also use the hand cleaning methods that you discussed. My question is that is there a different process for pads used to apply graphene sealants. I have used the McKees product and it is really hard to get those pads clean. Other detailers have told me to just throw those pads away.
When applying graphene or ceramic coatings (in glass bottles), always throw away the applicators and towels used for the application and removal.
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan this is the McKees 37 Graphene deep gloss ceramic paint sealant plastic bottle.
I bought the Lake Country System 3000 Pad Cleaner. What is your thoughts on it
I have that one at home too. It does the job. I just tend to prefer the one from The Detail Guardz as I don't have to use my machine in it, and their pad cleaner liquid is really great.
Another amazing video, I personally liked using the bucket for washing.
In the coming videos will you show us the difference between using foam, microfiber, wool pad, for paint correction and polishing , and how difference outcome each have?
Regards
Great suggestion!
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you
Hello pan! You should make a review on the carpro Iron X, Iron X paste, and iron X shampoo :) cheers!
Hi pan. Just abit off topic with all the new ceramic coating and graphene coatings coming out do you still consider opti coat pro plus the best protection for your car excluding ppf. Cheers
It's the best professional grade ceramic coating yes. The competition is very strong in the pro grade coatings world now. And there is one I'm currently testing that might equal it, or perhaps beat it. More on that soon.
Cheers mate. Great content as always
Thanks Fred!
Je crois que tu es du Québec?! , peux être je me trompe!? ..bref j adore tes vidéos ,ils sont excellents et surtout mis a jour.. étant carrossier, j adore explorer les produits ,faire des test et surtout être a jour ...tu m'aide énormément dans mes décisions difficiles...
continue ton bon travail
Merci Kevin! Oui je suis de Montréal! Comment as-tu découvert ma chaîne?
Haha excellent , je suis de Terrebonne . Je suis tomber sur ta chaine parce que je recherchais des reviews sur turtle wax ceramic polish. Tes conseils etait precieux et tres utiles .J ai ete assez impressionné par le resultat sur ma s4 noir un de meilleurs pour le prix.
Par compte , j ai pas trouvé de produit miracle pour garder le lustre apres le polissage sans aller dans le traitement nano , la poussiere es attirer comme un aimant sur la peinture ,sa perle super bien sauf que l'eau ne s egoute pas..
What a paaaaaaaaaaantastic idea you taught us. Like always a great job bud.
Thank you! Cheers!
Pan. Can I just wash the microfiber towels with the pads together using free n clear detergent in cold water ? Dry on tumble air dry ?
I always separate the pads from the towels, as the pads contain abrasives from compounds and polishes, you wouldn't want those getting stuck in the fibers of the towels and potentially scratching the finish once reused.
Merci pan,d après la vidéo,utilise tu d abord un liquide vaisselle et ensuite un produit de nettoyage pour les pads,et rincer à l eau tiède ou froide, merci beaucoup pour tes conseils précieux a tantôt bonne journée Fred boni
same procedure for pads used when applying products such as Ice Turtle Wax Seal & Shine or similar products?
Seal & Shine would be applied with a microfiber applicator or towel. Here's my tutorial on cleaning microfiber towels : ruclips.net/video/t_ryfGlkE9I/видео.html
Great video Pan, most useful one I've seen related to this subject. 🙂
Video idea:
I'd really like to hear your thoughts on air compressors and their use in the realm of car detailing.
Thanks Thomas! Unfortunately, I don’t use air compressors.
@@PanTheOrganizer
Thanks for the reply. So no vid, I do have a quick question however.
I was just wandering if there was a particular reason you choose to not use a compressor such as a particular drawback, is it to minimize your equipment to keep things uncluttered, or do you just not find them necessary because of the other tools in your arsenal. You obviously accomplish a high level of detail without them and I value your opinion.
Thanks again for your great content, your production quality is top notch.
For both reasons. I don't like clutter, and in 23 years of detailing, I just never had the need for one. After decades of detailing, I also got to a point where I only offer one detailing package: the total new car prep. So the vehicles I detail are brand new mostly. I don't do those disaster details like I used to when I first started. Not worth my time. So for people who deal with disgusting older filthy cars, I could see where a compressor could be used to blow out dirt, or for use with tools like a Tornador.

Huge Mahalo for the replies and sharing your insight. I know you're a busy guy and I truly appreciate your taking the time to answer fan questions. 🤙🏽
My pleasure Thomas! Hey, what's your favourite video on my channel so far?
Thank you for your help Pan. One last question, while you’re polishing do you prefer to use compressed air or a brush like the Rupes one to clean the Pad? Are brushes safe or abrasive to clean pads? Is it a better idea to have multiple pads and cleaning them by hand after polishing so they last longer? Thank you from Portugal 🇵🇹
I use dedicated brushes while doing the paint correction, and I switch pads often. Clean pads work better. Some say that blowing compressed air is fine on microfiber or wool pads, but that it can damage some foam pads so be more careful. They say compressed air can damage the cells of the foam. So perhaps use a brush on foam pads.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you for your help, you are one of my biggest inspirations for car detail.
I just use apc and fairy liquid when I need to when I’m doing my car I use 2 pads when they need to be washed I Wil use apc or somtumes just rinse them out gets rid of most of the polish wring the pad out then spin dry it on the machine then continue
For method 2, are you changing the water for each pad?
No, as the pump system filters the dirty water at the bottom.
Hi Pan just an update on the bathroom sink with the graphene coating. It does seem easier to clean. I may take some tissue and give it a quick wipe down periodically. Before I would have to clean with a sponge.
Good to know! I might just start doing that.
@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan I feel like you may want this titanium mug. Buried in the comments so no one sees. www.ticonindustries.com/collections/ticon-gear/products/titanium-double-wall-cup-15-oz
Pan, if the pad will fit, would you say it would be safe to clean it in an ultrasonic cleaner?
I have never used ultrasonic cleaners so I can’t answer that question unfortunately.
So I recently purchased a system 4000 for pad cleaning…but I’ve also been told that you can’t truly remove the clear coat that’s embedded in the pad no matter how you clean them. Especially from microfiber pads/Wool pads
Pan: I have a drying rack adapter with my clothes dryer. When I'm finished hand washing the pads, I'll lay the pads with the hook&loop side up on the the rack and set the dryer on low heat for an hour. It speeds up the drying process.
Good method too!
Can you use damp bad and treat as "priming" ?
No. Pads are primed with lubricating sprays or polishing compounds depending on pad type.
Hei Pan I like to wash my pads in sink, method 1. After im done washing it, I never twist a pad to not ruin it but I put it back on my DA machine, turn machine on and speed slowly to max and boom its basically dry. Is this pro tip or am I going to ruin my machine?
That is also an acceptable technique.
