  • Buffing Pad Cleaner - Effortlessly condition, clean and dry polishing and buffing pads with our pad cleaning system. Regularly cleaning your old pad increases the effectiveness of the polishing pad, while also cutting the time it takes to finish the job.
  • Save Time and Money - Our cleaning method keeps the backing of the pad dry during the cleaning process, which keeps the adhesive from getting wet and causing damage while cleaning. This extends the life of the pad, which allows for more applications.
  • Easy To Use - Designed to clean quickly and thoroughly without leaving residue behind. Effectively removes chemical based soap, wax and polish, making buffer pads look brand new. Perfect for a car wash pad, detailing pads and electric polishers.
  • High Compatibility - Designed for use with most polishers and pads including foam pads, wool pads, buffing balls, buffing bonnets, felt discs, felt flap wheels, microfiber applicators, and more. Take your pads from dirty to clean in under 10 seconds!

As Advertised, Time Saver
I was dubious about the functionality of this device. I use Optimum products for car care, and working clean is something that's been the mantra for detailers for a while. I had a few issues where my compressor blew oil into pads because it didn't have an air oil separator or air cleaner in-line so I purchased this in order to stop destroying pads. I put enough water in the bucket so that I had to compress the pumps about one to two inches before the pad was contacting water. Dropped the appropriate amount of ONR into the water and used the Hyper correction system to polish the paint on my 2019 STI. Rather than having to switch pads in the South Florida heat every panel or so I was able to correct the entire car with two pads. One for compound and one for polish. This meant that the time wasted swapping pads and letting them cool on a table after having cleaned them out was saved and I could just keep correcting. The pads were cooled off after having run them in the washer with solution. I will say that you need to keep your polisher speed while cleaning out the pad down at the lowest setting or you will chew up the foam. Max speed gets your pad dried out. I was using Lake Country pads as well as Griots Garage fast finishing pads. The foam as well as microfiber pads came out clean and with just enough ONR on them so that the pad was fully lubricated. Overall this was worth the purchase. I detail three or four cars in a year and this was worth the money spent. It cuts the amount of time I spend during the correction process down by approximately half and keeps me focused on the correction process. ... show more

Works incredible
This bucket is incredible and will save you time and money as it cleans each pad as if they were new. Absolutely incredible. Well worth the money.

This thing will save you time and money.
I was skeptical of this item but decided to order it anyway. It seems like it’s overpriced for a bunch of cheap plastic but you’ll have to get over that. Between saving time and pads lasting longer because you don’t get your adhesive wet, this thing pays for itself very quickly. It’s almost as fast to wash your pads with this thing as it is to have an assistant doing it for you. I don’t know how I did without it. ... show more

time saver
just as expected. works great follow the reviews on how to use. fits perfect for 3 inch to 7 inch pads.

Yes it's kind of expensive, but worth the time and money saved
Yes, it's expensive.... yes you can buy a 5 gallon bucket, a $10 grit gaurd, and a $3 kickball and make your own..... BUT The pumps are nice. The sealing lid is nice (for when I mobile detail). Even at $120, you make that back the first 2 or 3 paint corrections with time saved, and pad life increased. Pads cut better when they are clean and fresh, but washing by hand is a pain. Now I do 3 panels, wash, dry, repeat. Cuts at least an hour per job, and realistically probably more. Try it out. Return it if you don't like it. No risk, but lots to gain! ... show more

Just... Buy it. No regrets here. Major time savor. MAJOR.
Is it expensive? Yes. But the convenience is amazing. It makes cleaning pads so much easier. I have a out 40 different buffing pads ranging from waffle weave, to hex logic, wool, microfiber. All of them. Double sided, you name it. I have it pad wise. I cleaned ALL of them in about 5 minutes. Dryed too. Each pad can be cleaned in just a few seconds. Pumps are nice to pump the cleaning solution into the buffing pads. I mean, I had 3m perfect it compound on my pads. The compound had been on some of them for weeks. Loaded right up. Rock hard. Still only a few seconds of cleaning. Such a time saver. For me who details everyday, and buffs 10 hours a day. This was worth it for me. If you are a weekend warrior, it may not be for you. But for me and what I do, HIGHLY recommend. Absolutely. ... show more

Pad cleaner
This product is fairly inexpensive for what it does.. a very easy way to clean your pads as well as keeping them conditioned.. I also found that the Interior components were sturdy and very durable.. Very well made.. with that and the price you can't go wrong with this product

Tears your pads up
Worst bucket ever tears yours pads up and rips the pad off the Velcro which makes it not useable anymore. It does leave it clean but damn come on
