8 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Watched a couple videos on YouTube and looks like it will help me save some time

It's the DIY Detail pad washer of choice and Detail Kings has the best price I've seen

Best reputation online, easiest to use and great price on your site.

was shown to be the best way to clean pads

I note it says I can get it by 4/6/2024 is that accurate?
Does this work with a cyclo dual polisher?

Best Answer: This works with rotary and dual action polisher awesome
Forced rotation machine doesn't have enough speed to dry it fully
Residue control/working clean when polishing is the most important thing when polishing and this is the best and fastest way to clean your pads after every pass
One pad is enough for entire car when using pad washer therefore everyone needs one of this pad washer they work awesome just get one

How often do you change 
the water? And does it come with more cleaning products? Can you purchase the cleaning product? Thanks

Best Answer: I change the cleaning water when it’s gone from the bottom of the bucket. You’ll know when it’s gone because when you push down the wash plate, no water will come through the perforated wash plate holes. The contaminated water is held in the anti-bucket. The cleaning product I use is: McKees 37, it’s a citrus based cleaner and it works well with foam or lambswool pads.

How much for postage to Brisbane Australia
82 Birkdale cct
North lakes
Qld Australia
4509?

Best Answer: You will need to put this item into your shopping cart, enter your shipping address, and proceed through the checkout process. After your shipping address is entered you will see shipping options and pricing, along with the estimated import duties/taxes prior to submitting payment information.

Shipping costs to Maui, Hawaii 96753 ?

Best Answer: You would just need to put the item into your shopping cart and then click "Calculate Shipping" on the right hand side of the page. Then when you enter your zip code and click "Calculate" it will give you various shipping options along with the rates. I'm showing $100.19 currently as the least expensive shipping option.

If I’m understanding this cleaning process, it cleans with the solution you put in the middle, low speed and after it’s clean, high speed to dry. 
So the pad dries with the cleaning solution inside after spinning most of it out???(no way to rinse with clean water)

Initial Impressions - Lake Country System 4000 Pad Washer
After using several different methods to clean pads that were unsuccessful, we decided to invest in the Lake Country System 4000 Pad Washer. It is an investment that has saved us time and money. It cleans the pads thoroughly during the compounding or polishing process in minimal time. The time savings is worth more than the price. The design makes it easy to use and clean. To keep the mess to a minimum, we increase the speed of the polisher/DA slowly to full speed. A YouTuber, Improved Garage,

I FINALLY FOLLOWED THE CROUD
I saw this pad cleaner used in several detailing shops I visited and decided to ask about it. What I found is that they loved it and classified it as a time-saver and they cleaned their pads more frequently because of the little effort involved.

Thanks for the review and glad to hear you are happy with the pad washer. You will definitely get more cars out of the pad and will also use less pads per car! We will still probably use a few more than you are saying here but it all depends on the paint correction necessary for the specific vehicle!

Thanks Lake Country!
This unit is phenomenal. What a time saver. Not only cleaning, but speeding up my correction process by not having to go back and redo an area because deposits left behind from a dirty pad. So glad I bought this, and yours was the best price I could find.

Works excellent!
I saw the pad washer upon a YouTube video and thought I would give it a try. It works excellent! Keeps the pad clean preventing all that buildup and only takes seconds to use. Do yourself a favor and add one of these pad washers to your detail kit, you won't be disappointed.

Makes cleaning pads easier
Makes things easier. Only issue I have is they need a solution on clamping the upper section to the middle section. If you accidentally grab it by the upper section to move it. The upper section lifts away from the middle section. Dumping the dirty water into the clean water.
