IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

Proper care of your Car Polishing Pads is very important to ensure you are getting the proper performance from them. It doesn't matter if they are foam polishing pads or microfiber polishing pads... I am going to show you the process I use to safely clean my compound and polishing pads to remove all of the contamination that has. built up in the pores of the pad. I will also show you how i clean my pads while I am still using them on a car. Keeping your pads clean will allow you to get the final results you are looking for! Polishing Pads of all types... compounding or cutting pads, polishing pads, and finishing pads all get very expensive and proper maintenance will allow them to last longer so you can get the most out of them... ENJOY!!!

Try out a pad washer. So much easier and better for the condition of your pads! Gets them really clean too.

Thanks for the great info Josh. I'm only recently subscribed, but I've seen almost all your videos. May I suggest an idea for content (selfishly? 😛) You reviewed the Adam's Pro pressure washer 8 months ago. You may have seen the OG review where Matt craps all over it. A little way down in the video comments an early tester of the unit named Dylan Riggs offered tips to adjust the unit for more accurate test results and greatly improved performance (a set screw in the unloader valve?) He says "I have a 4.0 nozzle getting 1150psi & getting 2.2+ gpm. It runs quieter than the Kranzle, 15 amps and I have the capability to use a 2.5 nozzle and get 2200psi at 1.5." I'd like hear your thoughts on how the unit has held up since you put it in service and to see if that adjustment makes an improvement to your tested psi/gpm...maybe even a how-to of the gravity-feed from a tank. So far I haven't seen ANYTHING on KZfaq about it. Worth a shot maybe?

Thanks for doing this video. Is there any reason why you shouldn’t clean dirty pads in a washing machine? I’ve done that using warm water and a “clear” detergent along with a second rinse cycle. They come out very clean.

Josh, I’ve never tried this, but I was wondering what your thoughts are on using an extractor for cleaning pads… like a Bissell? Just curious. Thanks for your excellent videos 👍👍

@gregory3227 7 ай бұрын

Just a random thought… not sure if it would work but maybe using a small bissell extractor with a light towel or old t shirt over the pad might be effective and time efficient as well.

@wufwuf-ue5jm 3 ай бұрын

Yo Josh, thanks for another money saving vid. but why not put you on a K/N 95 mask when you blow off the pad with compressed air. That way you'll be around to make more vids for us.

cut and polishing how many pads to u use pre job?

@lukedoe1791 Жыл бұрын

Josh what do you think about doing this but with the addition of using two buckets, one with a super clean solution and the pad soaking before you get to them and then a second bucket of clean water to do a first rinse quick and then a final rinse with a faucet?

@imjoshv Жыл бұрын

Yea thats a great idea. The only issue is the pads want to float so the dont soak as much as they should but if you can get them to stay down that would help. Just dont go too heave with the mixture because you dont want it to affect the glue holding on the velcro attachment point

So if I’m just starting out and can’t afford a ton of pads, can you clean on the fly? Is it ok if they’re a little damp when start to polish again?

@The1Music2MyEars 2 ай бұрын

I'm sure it's fine, but I would sandwich them real quick in a microfiber towel and just squeeze/flatten them on a flat surface to push some moisture out. You have to condition the pad again anyways with the compound/polish to resaturate them and then put on your dots after
