Foam pads?

You should always lube a pad with a few sprays of a pad conditioner before usage. You can use a detail spray to do this, most people do not like to do this because some sprays contain fillers and some don't. So your mileage may vary with this.

As far as cleaners go, you want something that can break down the polishes that are embedded inside the foam pad while they soak.

Snappy clean is pretty cheap and goes a long way for pad cleaning. CG Pad Cleaner also dillutes very well.

Now to clean MF towels. I wash anything that touches the painted exterior parts of my car seperately from anything else. Use a MF specific detergent, or if you want to use a laundry soap make sure it lacks bleach and fabric softener.

Nice but I'm wary of the Sasquach MF's. Silk banding around the edges will scratch and mar the paint.

Which one are guys talking about. There are so many microfiber towels listed on the CG website. Also their website isn't the best.

and these: http://www.chemicalguys.com/ELITE_DELUXE_PREMIUM_MICROBIFER_banded_p/mic_502_1.htm

I forget the name of the guy working when I went in....(Danny?) He wasn't really a fan of the silk banding after I told him my intention to buy the sasquatch microfibers. I'll be going back to their Inglewood showroom tomorrow and see what else they have out on the racks....
