- Volume: 5 litres

- Main function: Removes polishing residue, wax and contaminants
- Benefit: Extends the lifespan of foam pads and microfibre pads
ADBL Pad Cleaner 5L is designed to clean polishing pads between and after polishing sessions, whether you're working with foam pads, wool pads or microfibre pads. The product dissolves polishing residue (from polish/compound), wax and dried-on contaminants that would otherwise become trapped in the pad structure.
Regular cleaning helps pads retain their original structure and cushioning function, giving more even buffing results and less friction heat against the paintwork. The product can be used directly on the pad by hand or diluted for use in a pad cleaning machine.
The 5-litre bottle is intended for regular use in workshops or studios where several pads are rotated daily. More polishing pads in our range complement the cleaning routine.
Why detailers choose ADBL Pad Cleaner
Detailers choose ADBL Pad Cleaner because it quickly dissolves baked-on polish and wax without breaking down the foam or microfibre structure of the pad. This means the same pad can be reused more times before it needs replacing.
As the product works for both manual application and in cleaning machines, it suits both one-off treatments and workshops that clean many pads simultaneously.
Is ADBL Pad Cleaner suited to professional studios and home use?
Yes, ADBL Pad Cleaner suits both professional detailing studios with a high turnover of pads and hobby users who want to extend the lifespan of their equipment at home.
- Reconditioning workshops with daily polishing
- Detailing studios rotating several pads per day
