Why is it important to clean polishing pads?
First, it's important to understand why you should clean polishing pads. Polishing pads need to be cleaned regularly to prevent them from becoming saturated. If a polishing pad is too wet, due to too much polishing compound on the pad, it can tear. It's also possible for dirt to be absorbed into the pad during car polishing, even if the car has been washed. To prevent this from causing scratches in the paint, it's also important to clean the pad regularly.
