I am looking at some Lake Country foam pads for my new porter cable 7224 polisher and was wondering if the pads are a one time use only deal or if you can wash them to re-use them again? If you can re-use the foam pads how long do they usually last? Thanks!

You can wash them and reuse them. Wash them in some warm water with Dawn.
They last a good amount of time, depending on how you treat them.

Wash them in a big bucket of soapy water right after you are done using them and let air dry........

I dont wash mine & I reuse them 4-5 times as long as you dont rip them all up.

Leaving product in the pad could cause problems. I can use mine 10-15 times if I take proper care of them.

Ya screw it I get my 3m pads at wholesale & plus when I detal a car I charge for the materials I use included in the price so Ijust buy each week ,LOL not sounding like a prick sorry . I just pitch them after a few details . Expecaly some paints it doesent bother them anyway , Black & dark colors I like to use a new one everytime . Ill try the wash out next time I use one & see how they hold up .
