well some of you may remember my statement about the edge quick connect adapter and how i thought it could be improved upon. and some of you had the same feelings, well i just got off the phone with Aaron and he walked me though it a little better and wow my opinion has definately changed and id like to say, if after reading this you still have trouble, call Aaron because the system is even better than i thought!
Ok so heres the thing. i thought thta to use the quick connect and disconnect you had to push the button. i also felt like the button was a bit too hard to push, but i couldnt have been more wrong. get a pad and an adapter(attached to your machine) line up the hexes and without pushing the button at all, just push the pad evenly on the adapter( using both hands, one on each side. it slides right on. now grab the buffer and from the back just put your hand kind of around the adapter and push on the pad, slides right off! if you pull evenly on both sides from the front it will come right off, so theres no real reason to push the button at all. I was going about removing and installing pads in completely the wrong way, and im willing to bet im not the only one, so give it a try like i described and i think you may wow yourself yet again!
honestly, if you have a problem with the Edge system, it is likely user error(like my problem) or a defective part. after he walked me through it, i cant think of a way that this system can be improved upon.and i also dont see how regular velcro pads have any benefits over the edge system. if your in need of new pads, switch to Edge, the system is worth the initial extra cost you may have, because in the long run they are also cheaper
also if you havent tried the Shmitt, do it. i used to use old cloths to wash my car until i got this thing, i think ive been through about 30 washes or more, and it has suffered some nicks but it is still just as white as my unused white foam pad, still just as soft, and still works just as good. this product has never induced any swirls on my paint that i could see, and rinses out clean with water every time. buy one, you will be converted for life
to Aaron and the whole company:applause: :applause: :applause: a round of applause is in order
