Just a thought, if you used our waffle blue or white e2k foam pad you would not have to take the adatper off EVER and the results would amaze you.

maybe i missed something but i did not see a natural white wool pad. i see the black , yellow, a green, blue, and the lambswools. just to get this right. you are saying the natural white more aggressive than the yellow but not as aggressive as the black?

I thought his black was the most agressive pad....and the Natural white was his softest....

the black shows the most agressive cut and the White being a super fine Ultra polishing pad....

I just used his Green and Blue wools and they are very nice....the green gave me the cut I needed...

If AG starts carrying 6" ones in stock I would buy them. I am not buying 8" ones.

To Clarify,
Natural White is 100% wool cutting pad also an agressive pad. We wanted our wool line to match our foam in color and texture so we made 5 types of wool ranging from heavy cut (black) like our foam to very soft (white lambswool). However there are many people that cannot get over the fact the our 100% heavy cutting pad is Black in color and they requested we also make it in the natural white. So we did, but we don't actively advertise it because it is special ordered by people who have customers that know what white wool is and only want it in that color.

Hope this helps.

so if i am reading this correct. the white and black are the same. only made white wool for those that are use to white wool being most aggressive. am i correct?

i know edge makes presta pads what i was wondering is. are the presta pads a cheaper line of edge pads or are they the same pads?

Ok, so you are reading this right except for one small tidbit of info. When we die the natural white yarns black the die actually encapsulates the fiber and makes is microscopically a bit thicker and hence more agressive than regular natural white wool. This is idea for heavy cutting applications such as heavy oxidation, deep scratch removal, or wet sand removal. The other colored pads do not use dyed yarns but rather mixtures of synthetic acrylic fiber that is precolored. When mixing with natural white wool, the pad takes on the color of the acrylic ie: the Yellow pad is 50%wool 50% acrylic but the only color is from the yellow acrylic.
As far as Presta, they buy our Edge pads in our standard colors, not any cheaper version whatsoever, they are top quality only.

How effective are the Edge 2k wool pads at paint correcting with a PC? I don't have a rotary and wouldn't trust myself with one if I did.
