i usually do wax by hand. or you can use a black or blue finsishing pad. I usually soak my pads in some dawn then, throw them in the wash.

To clean them, you can spray a degeaser into them, rub it in with your hands, rise out, then hang to dry. I also think pinnacle makes a pad cleaner and conditioner. They also make pad brushes to pull out old excess wax and polish.
