    Edge 3.5" 2k DA prototype pad review

    Aren't they cute?!?!?!!? :D Not much to this review...same foam and design as their usual 6" design. I have not used these pads a ton yet but they work just as good as my TOL (LC?) 4" pads. The hole in the center gives up some surface area but it's much better than taking the quick connect off...

    PB's SS&S review

    Well, got my bottle from Bob The Man from Danase at the Xceed bbq. I have decided is smells lightly like peaches :drool of course I asked my wife to confirm this and she just did this=:rolleyes: 1. Packaging & Labeling. Is it well packaged? Are the labels durable? Typical PB's, no frills but...

    Finally figured out Natty's application

    Well, finally learned how to apply Natty's so that removal is easy (yay me :dancin ) What was happening was I was putting too much on the foam applicator to start with, I though I was applying it thin but it was actually still too thick. Then all the wax on the applicator would dry and I would...

    Another question for the Natty's experts

    Well, I tried doing a panel at a time, then removing Natty's and it removed *much* easier than letting it sit. (as covered in a previous post, letting it sit, IMO, makes it too hard to remove :ticked ). Doing it this way, one panel at a time, is was JUST starting to dry (it would sit for maybe...

    Success with PAC.com products

    Why do I do this to myself? Don't look if you have a weak stomach...

    So, we all see these cars out and about, 10 year old single stage that has never been cared for. So, being the :crazy person I am, I offer (to complete strangers in my building sub!) to this car for *free*, needless to say they are :eek but also :dancin It turns out this is a 16 year old girls...

    Anyone else think paste wax is hard to remove?

    Not really hard to remove just more difficult than liquid LSP's. I have tried S100 and Natty's. Natty's is easier to remove but I still end up scrubbing the paint to remove it, this takes about 2x as long as a liquid to remove. Liquids just wipe off like dust, carnauba's stick to the paint like...

    Differences between 4*UPP and EXP?

    I have EXP currently and was looking at maybe getting UPP (not like I need another LSP:cool). What are the differences in terms of ease of use and looks? I'm sure both are very durable. I heard a long time ago UPP needed to cure for 45 minutes (this is longer than I let EXP cure for), is that...

    Question for The Edge/Aaron

    I was wondering if you guys are working on a 4" Edge 2k DA pad size? I like to use this pad sometimes on my PC and now I have to keep switching between my 3.5" backplate and Edge adapter when switching from 6" Edge 2kDA pads to 4" TOL pads. This is really annoying to do in the middle of a...

    Anyone ever use Edge 100% lambswool on a rotary to cut paint?

    If so what products did you use with it at what stage of a detail? I have tried all their foam pads and their "blend" wool pads (blue, green, yellow) The foam pads wander alot on the paint if the panel is not flat and the blend wool pads marr the paint. I was looking at the 100% wool pad as...

    Pinnacle LS and Swirl Remover Labor Day

    Got a chance to try my $10 LS and swirl remover today on my wifes 2000 Focus. The color isn't the best for LS (not like black or red) but it turned out good. Swirl Remover - there were only some light random swirls since I last Klasse'd in Spring (since I have been the *only* person to wash it...

    Wetsanding guru's come inside PLEASE.. 56k warning!

    I really need some help from those who have wetsanded out orange peel before. I met with some one today with a 1973 Mercedes that was repainted a couple years ago. As seen in the pictures it has bad orange peel, some spots worse than others, the hood actually isn't that bad. I have never...

    Any WOOL pad rotary users here?

    I just ordered some Edge wool pads for my rotary (yellow and blue) since the foam pads don't seem to be "cutting it" as well as I'm hoping. Any advice? Do any professionals use them or find the need for them? How should I change my technique for using them compared to foam?

    What cuts faster-slow or fast rotary speed?

    With dimishing abrasives, more heat/speed = breaks down quicker I assume (particles get smaller faster) With a rotary in general, a faster speed would cut faster I assume So...to combine these 2 assumptions, say if I was using SSR2.5, what option cuts faster? 1. 1000rpm for the 1st pass...
