    I came up with this idea one day while cleaning my buffing pads after waxing. Would work well after polishing and compounding too. Normally I would clean my pads over buckets or fill the sink and rinse with running water. As anyone who has been there, wax or compound that can be embedded deep inside the the pads and takes a long time to clear.
    Grab a large Ziploc freezer bag as they are usually thicker than the regular bags. Add some warm water and cleaner then toss in the pads.

    Now you can squeeze, press and work the pads with your fingers without damaging the cell surface of the pad. Empty and repeat as required until the pads are clean. Remove the pads and give them a quick squeeze under clean running cold water, wring out and let dry fully before storage.
    Doing pad Cleaning this way I used 10% of the water and completed in half the time.
