  1. im curious how others do it.

    it seems like i pick-up alot a [censored] on my pads, and i sometimes try to "clean" them up if i stop. but they seem to be sort-of "glazed" and a roadside spit-and-finger cleaning does little to remove the glaze. 🙁

    at home i sometimes scuff them with a med grit sandpaper.

    what do YOU do to keep them in best condition?

    PS- and yes, i do clean my rims, usually with scotch-brite.

  2. Scuff with sandpaper and pick any little stones/bits of metal out of the pad. Give them a rinse afterwards too - if there's grit from the sandpaper left on the pad, it's bad for the rims.
