1st off just want to say thanx for the fellow DB'ers that had mentioned this product. I dont remember exactly who it was, just stumbled across thread posts last week. Anyways, i was able to purchase it @ WallyWorld. Some of the guys said some had stopped carrying it, the Walmart i frequent had it avail.:thumb: it worked great for OTC product imo. products cleaned were uber 5.5 pads green w/P203s blue w/85rd blue w/cg ez-creme glaze black w/powerlock spray-apply product, dwelling time varies on product on pad (aprox 15 min) scrub-agitate with orange uber pad brush and rinse =) clean-citrus type scent,non chemical smelling. thanx again fellas :headbang:
Wow did it really take out powerlock? I looked for it at Wally world but there was a tag but none on the shelf. It is so hard to find.
for PL i had to reapply-let dwell-agitate the next day, it still had that "solvent" smell on the uber pad. not after the second round though
Be careful and make sure you thoroughly rinse it out. Read on another thread that it deteriorates foam due to the aggressive chemicals. Someone sprayed it on a foam applicator pad as a test and left it on overnight, next day the foam was falling apart. Just make sure you rinse it all out.
It's a great product. I usually try and get as much out just by using water, then spray some PD on there and let it sit for 15 minutes or so, then rinse it out. Have not had any issues with foam applicators falling apart.
That was me :hi: I used it on flat pads with great success. I also used it on those little yellow wax applicator pads and it destroyed the wax! Which made me really curious. I sprayed one with some wax on it, left it to soak overnight and when I started to rinse the next day chunks of foam just flaked off. It was very interesting. I'm going to do it again this weekend and post pictures if I get the same results. I also have a couple old pads that I plan to test this with.
sorry my net connection was acting up last nite ftl *edit* when i cleaned the black uber pad w/PL i didnt let the product dwell overnight i just repeated the same steps the 2nd day spray-dwell-agitate-complete rinse
Been using DPD for a few years works great cleaning all my products except BFWD I don't clean these pads. It won't clean these pads at all ! It just repels the water! That's what sold me on BFWD durablity.
so i thought this product was "new" to me, i was under the kitchen sink getting a new wash sponge(4 dishes) and there sits a bottle of Power Dissolver for washing =( FML the old lady was light years ahead of me, LOL
I originally posted about the stuff on autopia a few years ago. I have been using for over 3 years now. On megs and lake pads, I've had no issues. I have had some of the cheapo applicator pads fall apart, but I'm not sure if they would have fallen apart on their own. Like anything else, test first, and unless you are about to junk the pad anyway, don't let it sit overnight.
kept getting the run around at wal mart so i ordered it over their i net site. 3 bottles on my steps for about $11. figured i save 100s on my older pads. but yes no letting dwell overnight.
