Done with Edge!

I got the Edge starter kit for my PC because everyone loves Edge. Ive only used the kit on 5 cars and Ive had 2 fittings go bad (yes Im removing it correctly). One just happened about 5 minutes ago. Luckily the new one from AG just got here, but the plastic part on one of my pads has worn so much, that it wiggles all over the place when I put it on the fitting. So I just put my old backing plate back on with a 6.5" Meguiars pad. I find that the pad spins 100x better and its a lot easier to keep the pad flat to the surface. Time to order some LC CCS pads!

Pay for more then shipping and you can have them. Ive got 4" yellow, orange, and green/ white pads. The yellow and orange pads are pretty much brand new, only used on a few panels. The green part of the green/ white pad has the most use, but the white side hasnt been used at all. The 6" orange/ green pad is done.

Wow, we are very sorry to hear that, maybe you should call us and discuss what is happening and we could help? The adapters are guaranteed for life so we will just replace them no questions asked.

I don't like the open cell foam. sucks up too much polish so you have to use more.

Well, I love Edge, and if you are serious about getting rid of them, shoot me a PM with a price. But I would take Aaron up on discussing the issue first. They are top notch, I had an issue with a Schmitt, and he called me withing 5 min of sending an email and replaced it same day.

I kind of agree, I sent my pads in because they were very worn out after just twice being used they did replace my blue pad since it was completly shredded they sent back the orange and the green without replacing them saying its normal wear well this sat I was polishing with the orange pad on my friends brothers 2007 S60R (Not a cheap car had to go to sweden to pick it up) and the thing tore apart down to the middle plate thing luckely it only scratched the lower panel plastic on plastic is not a good thing. good thing he said no problems n i still got paid
