Help ID these "wool" pads

These are probably 5+ years old.  They are two-sided, I think synthetic wool, with a hex adapter that they snap onto.  They were big around here at the time, I just didn't write down what they were, or more specifically, what the relative cutting rate of them was.


 


One is light blue, the other a darker blue.  Let me know if any more info would help.  Thanks!

Edge2K I think.  IIRC they were bought out by somebody (?3M?).  The same pads are (?were?) sold in 4" through Cyclo.


 


IIRC (and that might be a big "if"), the darker one has more cut and is somewhat aggressive, but nothing to worry about.  I've used the 4" one on Ford clear without any problems.


 


Eh, I bet a google on "Edge 2K" would bring up the line's specs, even after all this time.  Or see what the colors correspond to at CycloToolmakers.


 


Hey, good to see you posting.

Thanks, good to see you are still around!  You guys are spot on, Edge 2K is exactly what they are, as soon as I read you saying it I remembered.  It looks like green (not light blue) is a light cut, and blue is a finishing pad, which sounds right due to my general aversion to heavy cutting products.


 


A friend just got his '90 ZR-1 back from a shipping company, and it had a lot of scratches.  The way he described them, you'd think someone used sand paper as a car cover, so I was grabbing some of my heavier duty stuff and dreading if it came down to using a rotary...  Anyway, turns out Meguiar's DACP, a Cyclo, and orange pads took them out.  It is leaving some hazing behind, but a PC with a normal buffing pad and some Meg's Speed Glaze easily addressed that.  There's probably a way to use DACP where it needs less followup, but this was working.


 


I suppose by now, though, that stuff is antique...  When getting out the polishes, I noticed I still have an unopened tin of #16 sealed up in a ziploc bag.  I may have to toss some onto one of the cars once spring arrives...  :)
 
Aurora40- Glad you got it sorted out with that elderly DACP/Cyclo combo!


 


Yeah, I'm still using M16 on my wife's Audi.
