Edge pads

The 4" pads I really liked, especially the soft blue one they made me. I never liked applying sealant/liquid waxes by machine as you had to use more product on the pads b/c it soaked in and the 6" pads might not get to the all the angles and tight places. The 4" blue on the other hand was so soft that even if it absorbed the product it was still workable spreading the product around. It went so much quicker by PC and the 4" blue then by hand, I got the perfect even coat as well where I could just barely tell I had product on there. Doing by hand was weird sometimes as I felt like I kept missing spots, some spots I saw some product, some I didn't etc.



The 4" orange was a great spot buffing pad, good for glass, and also using on metals with chrome polish or AIO to clean up.
 
well with these coming out and the new zaino coming out, im like a gitty little school girl. i cant sleep at night anymore.



is applying lsp's with pc the same as applying polishes? what i mean is that polishes, you have to break them down and you will be able to see when its done to wipe off. with an lsp is it the same way, does it break down the same or do you buff it on and when you have the panel covered just wipe off?
 
I too am all over the 4 inchers when they arrive. They will be awesome for cutting with the PC. I know that the durability is there.
 
I just got 1 green cutting pad and 1 white finishing pad sample from Aaron. They where all ready sending me something and he threw them in. :2thumbs: I have not had a chance to try them out yet. He said they should be out this month.
 
I just switched over to the edge system for both the rotary and p/c. I really like how easy it is to change pads from one buffer to the next and is always perfectly centered on the D/A.I like the fact that once the pad gets dirty you just use the other side and you have a fresh clean pad right there, its so fast and saves alot of time. I also notice that the quality of the pad is alot better that the previous brand i was using.I have both the regular 6 ' pads and the waffle style. When the 4 inch pads hit the market i will get some of those as well for tight places such as jeeps and small cars. Alls i can say is if you havent tryed the edge pad system yet , you should definatley invest in them because they will pay off in the long run..:2thumbs:
 
I have a set of 4" pads that Aaron sent me. I had been really bugging him to make 4" pads after I started using the 6" pads with my PC. I've used them on several occasions and they work really well and still look like new.



In talking with Aaron he mentioned they have been testing these pads on the Cyclo extensively. He mentioned to me the Edge 4" pads transform the Cyclo into a totally different machine. According to him vibration is greatly reduced and pad durability is greater.
 
I just sent Aaron a message regarding the 4" pads and a Cyclo "kit". I am a fan of the Edge pads and dont want to buy LC pads and backing plates for my Cyclo. I am getting close to causing damage with the old pads I have left......

Sealants/waxes don't need to be broken down. Though maybe the action of the PC "melts" it more into the paint? I used the 4" blue which was very soft, just put some PB'S EX-P on it, dabbed around panel, then spread at spead 3-4. I moved around quickly too, not slow like breaking down a polish, it quickly spread a thin even coat. Let it set like normal then buffed off.



I'll pry be doing this from now on for sealants and if I use a liquid wax, so much quicker then by hand.
