Rupes Pads Cleaning etc
Was wondering if anyone could offer the correct way to clean rupes pads or even the hexlogic pads? ( haven't purchased the hex pads yet ) I'm going to work with the rupes pads for now.
I've purchased a duetto deluxe kit and looking at doing some work on my lexus when the weather gets better, just need to know the best way of cleaning the pads if anyone could assist it would be appreciated. |

You could go all-in and get some pad conditioning spray, or put them to soak in a solution of Lake Country "Snappy" pad cleaner, or even just put them in the washing machine, but they do clean up quite easily sprayed with APC, worked in with your pad spurring brush and rinsed with plenty of warm water.

As above, I tend to either use an APC or throw them in the washing machine. Don't forget to use a brush or cloth to keep them clean whilst polishing

As mentioned, I just chuck my pads in the wash on a 40oC wash with a cap full of APC in the detergent drawer. works fine for my Rupes BF180 pads
