Buffer Pad Cleaning
How do you clean you buffer pads with OUT spending $135 for a plastic bucket and gizzmo?

If the pad is just lightly used, I'll spray some detail spray on it, then run warm water through it, and wash it with my hands or a soft tooth brush.
If the pad is heavily saturated, I use detail spray first, then i use diluted dawn dish soap to get it out.

This is what worked for me, I diluted dawn in a bucket of water and let the pads soak for a couple of hours then thoroughly rinse and air dry in shade.
