Edge 200:Wool Pads

I was just cruising AG and I saw they now have the Edge Wool. I always planned on getting Edge Wool when I finally got my rotary, and it looks like that will be coming up soon, so I have some questions for people who have used it before.

-How is the quality of Edge's wool pads over it's competition?

-How do they compare in aggressiveness?

-Black wool, overkill? I planned on picking up the set and just want to make sure the black won't sit at the bottom of the cabinet.

Any other comments on Edge's Wool pads, feel free to throw in.

I was working at a New Car Dealership for a couple years, the only wool pad that I used was the black wool.

Started with the black wool and then went to whatever foam pad was appropriate.

just my $.02

I exclusevly use Edge wool, i do all my cutting with wool only, foam is a waiste of time when trying to cut.

I only use the yellow and green, never found a need for the black.

I use the black, the green and the white Edge pads at work. Brilliant results, the black get to work when the paint is marred.

i just tried the yellow pad and it is not as aggresive as a 3M white pad. I would have liked to of used the black pad on the car I did with the yellow pad. I have a local supplier for the Presta pads(made by edge) so I think I am
going to pick up the black pad just in case I run into something like the last
car I detailed.

Black or even our Natural white (same as 3m) is much more aggresive. check out our chart.

Dan if you had to pick two for a starter kit what colors would you get?

Depends on what you need but the black and the green would be a nice couple if you need to polish heavy and have a favourite soft pad of other brand to finish with. If you opt for a medium-soft combination it would be green and white.

The Edge might give you some more insight on this and then you have all different deoxidizers to add to the pad combinations. I haven't used our toughest 3M with the black Edge wool pad yet but 3M Trizact 50077 was a bad cat with the black Edge wool pad. Don't forget you can custom order pads giving you black+green or green+white in the same pad.

Good luck, man!
