Using a pad washer effectively involves a straightforward technique of flushing the pad with liquid at a high speed to remove residue. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Steps for Using a Pad Washer
- Preparation: Ensure your pad washer is filled with the appropriate cleaning solution (water or a pad cleaning solution). The video excerpt doesn't specify a particular solution, but using a dedicated pad cleaning solution is generally recommended for optimal results.
- Pad Placement: Place the polishing pad inside the pad washer. Make sure it's properly seated so it can be cleaned effectively.
- Start the Washer: Activate the pad washer. This usually involves turning it on and setting it to a high speed.
- Flushing Action: The high speed rotation, combined with the cleaning solution, flushes the pad, removing polish, dirt, and other contaminants.
- Rinsing (if applicable): Some pad washers have a rinsing function. If yours does, use it to remove any remaining cleaning solution from the pad.
- Spin to Dry: Utilize the high-speed spinning function of the pad washer to extract excess water from the pad. This helps it dry faster.
- Inspection: After washing, inspect the pad to ensure it is clean. If necessary, repeat the process.
- Drying: Allow the pad to air dry completely before its next use.
The key technique is to utilize the high-speed spinning action of the washer combined with a cleaning solution to effectively flush contaminants from the pad.
