Guys, where can I find the small diameter pads that can be used with the EDGE adapter on my Makita? Do I have to buy the small backing plate and pads or are there pads that connect directly to the EGDE 2k adapter?



I see Gloss-It has the "backing plates" but they`re $$$:



Gloss-it 3 and 5 Evo Rotary Backing Plate Duo (http://www.gloss-it.net/Glossit3and5EvoRotaryBackingPlateDuo-idv-121-8.html)



Thanks for any suggestions.

Here are 4" pads that attached directly to the E2K adapter.



Cyclo Double Precision pads are double-sided foam buffing pads for the Cyclo polisher. (http://www.autogeek.net/doubleprecision-cyclo-pads.html)

WOW! What a selection :) I never realized there`d be so many to chose from.





Thanks, Prince.

You`re quite welcome. I have these pads and they are great for pillars, getting around door handles, headlights, etc.

The six inch edge 2k pads, both wave and regular, are *really* getting hard to find. It doesn`t look like AG (or anyone else for that matter) is restocking them after they sell them out.



The six inch Edge 2k wave foam pads are my favs, too.

It`s not just the 6", seems to be the 8" also...and they don`t have any pads on the 3M site anymore, either. What`s up with that?

The 6" orange pad is almost impossible to find. I love the Edge system. It`s a shame to see that 3M is apparently not loving Edge 2K also...

I can only imagine!

...and rear hatchbacks, deck lids, mirrors, etc.



Thanks again :bigups

That`s a shame. I love my ShMitts and if they had come out with their Flex adapter faster I would still be using their pads as well.

Thanks, Porta, but he only has the green pad left in six inch.



Ranney is a top notch guy, though.... I bought my Flex 3403 from him.

Only the 6 inch wave pads and 6 inch combo have been discontinued. We decided to just stock the new 3m wave double sided. Those are the only changes that have been made.



here are some links -
