    Question Applicator staining?

    Decided to clean some of my applicators. I started with my yellow apps from my XMAS Detail where I thought the SSR application was like waxing (wayyy to much product and not breaking down at all). As you can see SSr1 and 2 are still stained after I did a rinse, tide wash in warm/cold water by hand x2, murphy soap by hand, and a final rinse. I dunno whether the pads are stained or if the product wont come out because I used too much.

    SSR1 and SSR2 will stain pads, especially if you let them dry out with the product still embedded. I wash my pads as soon as possible after every detail.

    :beat What about the dirt I can see in those other apps? I use one really saturated with ProPolish. Finding out the worst way of not cleaning.

    don`t worry about staining porus pads ...now you at least know what was on them previously and can assign them the same task over and over..

    btw..why would you use wax/ sealant applicator pads for polishes
    life is short ..do it while you can

    I was a little crazy Christmas Eve doing a roof of my stang. Now I will never ever use foam apps for polishes. But I am still concerned for of the apps that had propolish overload since I can see dirty. I can see dirt on a coupon of those apps also.

    So I can use the pink/green apps cause they just are stained? Nothing foreign there?3

    All my polish stuff will be fixed once my pads/pc get here
