Buy them, the best pads I've used so far, very durable and easy to handle and use. Plus its like having two pads in one. Well worth the money.

you won't be disappointed.

raising Cain. I haven't heard that expression in years!! Kinda cool to hear it again. At least I know I'm not the only one who says it.

PC speed with edge 2000 pads

I'm hoping someone can help me out here - I just received my 7424 and the edge kit. The edge pads came in plastic packaging which warns not to exceed 2000 RPM. It doesn't say what will happen if you do exceed that. Anyway, my question is, does 2000 RPM = 2000 OPM (orbits per minute) as in PC speak? What speed setting does this correlate to on the PC? What is the max speed you have used with your edge pads? i appreciate any help - i don't want to screw up the pads or my car!

I think the package warning was more for a Rotary. On a PC I only use speeds 5-6 for any real work to be done.

I believe that 100 posts gets you labeled as a "Senior Member", nothing more. Except for the gatitude of your fellow forum members for being an active participant!

I have been using LC pads, Wolfgang Pads (made by LC), and Meguiar's Pads. However, all the hype recently around the Edge 2K pad system combined with some bad experiences I've had with velcro backed pads convinced me to give the Edge system a shot. So, I ordered that kit you linked to a month or so ago and I'm NEVER going back to velcro.

The Edge 2K pads are great! They're extremely easy to attach or flip over. I love that you can flip them over and use two different products with the same pad. Plus, I love that they automatically center. This seems to result in a lot less vibration and according to Aaron from Edge less wear & tear on the motor.

RPM and OPM are two totally different measurements. It's not like converting meters to feet. The two measurements are completely unrelatable. However, I believe 2000 OPM is equivalent to speed 2 on the PC. You'll need to run your PC at least at speed 5 to do any effective polishing. Personally, I almost never use speed 6.
