Full Description

Wash with the professional way with an Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad. It delivers 20% more sudsy water than ordinary car wash mitts and no swirls.

The Adams Professional Car Wash Pad feels like a wool wash mitt on the outside, but that's where all similarities end.

If you want the most sudsy, satisfying car wash experience you've ever had, try the Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad. Available in 2 sizes, they hold 20% more than ordinary car wash mitts. That means you can get the soapy water to your car where it will do some good. Most wash mitts let all the water go (normally all over your feet!) before it ever gets to the car. The Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad is a suds making machine!

Safe and durable, the Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad is made of a soft, synthetic wool that gently lifts dirt away from your paint and freely let's go of the dirt in your wash bucket. The Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad won't swirl or scratch your paint.

Sizes Available: 10" x 10" (250mm x 250mm)

Care Instructions:

  • To care for your Adam's Professional Wash Pad simply lay pad on top of your grit guard bucket insert and use hose to rinse out on both sides thoroughly.
  • Comb through the fibres with your fingers and inspect for remaining debris, if any is found repeat.
  • Wring out Adam's Professional Wash Pad out well and allow to dry in a clean area with good air flow.
  • After a few uses you may notice them begin to get a little 'dreadlocked' which can be fixed easily with a regular hair brush or wide tooth comb.

NOTE: Adam's does not recommend machine washing.

Expert Notes

The Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad is a 10in x 10in (250mm x 250mm) contact wash pad made from plush synthetic wool with a 3in thick foam core. Adam's Polishes states it holds 26 ounces of shampoo wash water, and a squeeze of the foam core releases suds as they are needed. It sits at the contact wash stage, after a pre-rinse or pre-wash and before drying, and suits anyone who prefers a large pad to a mitt. Pair it with a dedicated car shampoo, two buckets fitted with grit guards and a soft microfibre drying towel. Care is simple: rinse it over a grit guard, comb the fibres through, let it air dry and never machine wash it.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Roofs and bonnets
  • Doors and side panels
  • Boot lids and tailgates
  • Painted bumpers
  • Cars and vans
  • Motorcycle bodywork

Caution: Keep the pad off wheels and tyres. If it is dropped, rinse it thoroughly and check the fibres for grit before it touches paint again.

How To Use

Using it

  1. Rinse the vehicle first to remove loose dirt and grit.
  2. Fill one bucket with car shampoo mixed to the shampoo maker's dilution and a second with clean rinse water, ideally both with grit guards.
  3. Soak the pad in the shampoo solution until the synthetic wool is fully loaded.
  4. Wash one panel at a time from the roof downwards, using light pressure and straight passes.
  5. Give the pad a gentle squeeze to release more suds onto the panel as you work.
  6. Rinse the pad in the rinse bucket after each panel before reloading it with shampoo solution.
  7. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly and dry it with a clean microfibre drying towel.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Lay the pad on a grit guard insert and rinse both sides thoroughly with a hose.
  2. Comb through the fibres with your fingers, check for debris and repeat the rinse if any is found.
  3. Wring the pad out well and leave it to dry in a clean area with good airflow.
  4. If the fibres start to clump after a few uses, work them loose with a hair brush or wide tooth comb.
  5. Do not put the pad in a washing machine, as machine washing is not recommended.
  6. Store it clean and dry, away from wheel brushes and other dirty tools.

Top Tip: Check the fibres for trapped grit before each wash, since a pad can pick up debris in storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this wash pad?

The Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad measures 10in x 10in (250mm x 250mm). It comes in one size.

What is the pad made of?

The Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad is made from plush, professional-grade synthetic wool with a 3in thick foam core. The soft fibres are designed to lift dirt away from paint and let go of it in the wash bucket.

How much wash solution does it hold?

Adam's Polishes states that the 10in x 10in pad holds 26 ounces of shampoo wash water. Squeezing the foam core releases the suds as they are needed on the panel.

How do I clean the pad after washing the car?

Lay it on a grit guard insert and hose both sides thoroughly, then comb through the fibres with your fingers and repeat if any debris remains. Wring it out well and let it dry in a clean area with good airflow.

Can it go in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for the Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad. Rinse it by hand with a hose over a grit guard instead.

What should I do if the fibres start to clump?

Brush them out with a regular hair brush or a wide tooth comb. The fibres can begin to clump after a few uses, and brushing is the recommended fix.

Can I use it on wheels and tyres?

No, keep it for bodywork only. Use separate brushes or mitts for wheels and tyres so brake dust and grit never reach the pad you use on paint.

What should I use with it?

Use it with a dedicated car shampoo, a wash bucket and a rinse bucket, each fitted with a grit guard, and finish with a microfibre drying towel. The grit guard also serves as the rinsing surface when you clean the pad afterwards.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Pre-rinse or pre-wash the car before the pad touches the paint.
  2. Change the rinse bucket water once it turns cloudy or gritty.
  3. Work from the roof down, leaving the dirtiest lower panels until last.
  4. Wash in the shade on cool panels so the shampoo does not dry.
  5. Keep a separate mitt or pad for the grittier lower sills.
  6. Dry the car promptly after the final rinse to avoid water spots.
  7. A sealed bag keeps dust out of the fibres between washes.
  8. Available online with UK-wide delivery from The Drivers HQ.

The Adam's Professional Car Wash Pad

Plush synthetic wool. The pad feels like a wool wash mitt on the outside, but its professional grade synthetic wool fibres soak up shampoo solution and carry it to the car instead of letting it run off over your feet. Adam's current pad measures 10 by 10 inches and holds 26 ounces, about 770ml, of soapy wash water.

A foam core you squeeze. Inside is a 3 inch thick foam core, so a squeeze of the pad releases more suds just where you need them, panel by panel.

Reusable. Rinse it clean after each wash and it is ready for the next one. Adam's backs the pad with its own swirl free guarantee, but a clean pad is what keeps it that way.

Adams Professional Car Wash Pad - The Drivers HQ

Washing with a wash pad

Two buckets. Fill one bucket with shampoo solution and one with clean rinse water. Load the pad in the shampoo, wash one panel at a time from the roof down, then rinse the pad in the clean bucket before you reload it.

Light pressure. Let the suds and the fibres do the work. Glide the pad in straight lines rather than circles and keep a separate mitt for wheels and the dirtiest lower panels.

Pre-wash first. On a dirty car, snow foam and rinse before the contact wash so less grit reaches the pad.

After the wash. Rinse the pad thoroughly, squeeze it out and let it dry before you put it away, so grit is not stored in the fibres for next time.
