How to get nxt out of applicator pad?

**kaos** · 11-17-2004, 01:25 AM

How do you get nxt wax out of the applicator pad? I was washing it, wouldn`t come out with just water like most stuff does. Used some soap, that didn`t seem to do anything either. Still some nxt coming out when i squeeze the pad. Is there some particular type of soap that will get this stuff out? Or do I let it dry and try to beat the powder out of it? *shrug!*

Try some dawn.

I`ve always just waited for the applicator to dry out and then I just beat it out. The best part about these sealants is that they are designed to be durable through many washes. What good would a product be that just washes off? :naughty Its designed to resist water and that is why cleaning the applicator is hard. I just throw mine in the wash when I do my towels and that seems to do the trick. They are always dry when I do that, so I really can`t say what would happen if it was full of wet product. :dunno

Murphys Oil Soap does a good job of cutting through most waxes without the rinsing problems (tons o` suds) that DAWN has.

Try using an All Purpose Cleaner added into the wash.

Ultimately, you might want to pick up a dedicated MF wash. It really cuts up any polish/sealant/wax etc residue.

Heres what I do. I squeeze the pad as small as I can to get as much excess out as I can. Then soak them in hot water and dawn for a couple of minutes. Then rinse them with warm water till it rinses clean. Then I throw them in the washer and air dry.
when I throw them in the washer, I treat them like I was wahing my microfiber towels.
Hope this helps.

Same here, ever since you told me about this it is all that I have I used when washing pads. Works great!

Just by some Akyra Klean from Top of the Line. Akyra is Hi-Temp`s body shop line. Klean is a product that is used to strip paint sealants from paint, and also is used to clean polishing pads and panels between buffing. Klean is a great product for sure. I think it will be the easiest way to clean Nxt from applicator pads. You will have to call TOL directly, because it is not on the website.
