Over time, wash pads go through wear and tear, causing the fibers to become nappy. Many of you may know this already, but by using a dog's hair brush, you can restore your wash pads to their original brand new status. Just a small tip that may be useful

Pics or it didn't happen! Happy washing

 

Nice tip. I'll be in Petco before the week is out.

 

^ +2, thanks for this, OP. Good post.

 

I tried it and it works.
Thanks.

 

Glad you guys found it useful!

 

yup this is an awesome trick, and have been using this for a long time! better then buying new wash pads after a few months of use

 

Just a small update on this. After using Adam's Wash Pad for the past year, I gave a different product a try recently. Reason being that Adam's pad holds onto so much dirt even after grinding against grit guards. This has caused some scratches on the paint. I'm now using Increditmitt from MiroFiber Madness and it's awesome. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it's smaller in size (~8x6 vs Adam's 10x10). But if it's not scratching my paint, I'm sold. I highly recommend it

 

that wash mitt kinda looks like the one adams now sells but its cheaper

Yea they look awfully similar. I wonder how they perform. If they don't hold dirt, no reason to spend the extra bucks on incredimitt

I actually misspoke in my post earlier. I actually bought the Incredipad, not the mitt. Mitts feel weird to me and I prefer pads. Again, it's much smaller in size compared to Adam's pad, but that didn't seem to be a problem when I washed my X3 yesterday.
