I bought a few of the Edge2000 pads and Connector today and used the yellow, green, blue and white type pads all today in a trial.
I have used 3m waffle, Meguiars, Pacer, Contour, LC and find that Edge2000 pads have the following advantages.
1. Centering the pad is idiot proof and fast.
2. Contour of pad reduces sling
3. No need to worry about velcro backing un sticking (cough, cough Meguiars)
4. Tapered edge aids under mirrors and around trim
5. Double sided with different abrasivness ie, Cutting one side and polishing on another, means a product like DACP for example can be used as a heavy cleaner, mild scratch remover and then on the other side as a mild polish with a light abrasive pad.
6. Easy to clean.
I found that its possible to save a lot of time, which aquates to money when dealing with clients cars.
