I simply rinse with hot water when finished using them. I also have small Velcro pads on the backside of my detailing cabinet door where I hang them to dry.

I use Pinnacle XMT Series "Polishing Pad Cleaner". Works great.

the trick is to clean them before they dry (as in after you're done using them) to avoid the need to use any serious products or damaging them.

i just use warm water (heck i even used my garden hose on 'shower'), rinse, squeeze them out and do it a few times til the wate runs fairly clear.

my products i am using are meguiar's ultimate polish/compound and lake country pads.

I did this video while in Boise, ID last month. Here's a sneak peak. Personally, I use the pad washer but I didn't have to pay for either of mine. At how much they cost, I probably wouldn't because that price is pretty steep.
