    Edge Pads?

    I am interested in the 8in pads for a rotary polisher. Can you use the 6in pads with the same adapter you use with the 8in pads? How are these pads? I am thinking of using mostly the 8in pads except for the tight areas.

    Yes, any size will fit on the Edge adapter. All of my wool Edge are 8"; foam 6" & 8". Many guys use the 4" Cyclo Edge pads on their rotarys.

    Cool! It looks like it will be simple to switch between different size pads. What do you guys recomend the flat or wave?

    I prefer flat edge pads for the abilty to feater into trim areas on lower speed without worry of burn.

    Re: Edge Pads?

    I just did my first details yesterday and today after converting to the edge system. I won't go back to velcro unless forced to. It was an INCREDIBLE time saver to go from the 4" cutting pads, to the 6" light polishing pad, to the 6" finishing pad. Other times going to the 4" finishing or light polishing when working on trim. All in seconds. The ability to flip the pad when going from one panel to the next was also a big timesaver.

    I chose to use the Edge Wave finishing (white) pad today. I guess some people aren't fond of it, but I found it worked quite well for me. Maybe with stiffer pads it would be an issue, but with the very soft white foam, it compressed right down. The unique pattern it makes is also very helpful in seeing exactly what is getting polished. Sometimes the normal flat pads' circles blend in.

    Anyway, I am very pleased with the Edge system overall.
