Edge Blue Pads

[pingable]

For those that use the Edge Blue pads, what uses do you use it for.

Can't seem any use if I'm using green 4" cyclo foam and then following up with a white pad.



There is supposedly a 4" E2K blue pad coming out.....

I use it for polishing. Have used it with OP several times after using a more intensive polish on a yellow/orange Edge pad, for example.

I use it for my final polishing and on light swirls . Out of all the Edge pads in my lineup the Blue pads are my most used . Next most used pad is green followed by yellow.

Their blue pad is awsome for final finishing especially after their yellow one. I don't have the need for their green or white pads and especially not their black(dangerous!). The blue is soft enough to final finish out 99% of vehicles for me. I'm going to buy their EDGE 2000 blue and yellow combo soon. Can't wait.

Noting that I haven't used the blue pads in question...



Just because there are lot of different grades of pads, that doesn't mean that you *need* to use them all. It's a matter of how the pads behave on the paint in question and sometimes there aren't any appreciable *functional* differences between various pads.



For years the only pads for the Cyclo were the green ones and Griot's orange pads were all he sold for a long time too (worked OK for both polishing and waxing).



FWIW, I really like the Cyclo white pads for final polishing and LSP application. Unless a paint is *VERY* soft I can't see needing anything softer than the white pads (they work fine on the Jag's soft ss lacquer).



If somebody prefers the blue pads, I can understand it; hey, personal preference. But it's not like we all need every type of pad to get a good finish.

The E2K Blue is a very light polishing pad. I do use it with the PC occasionally for finishing on softer clears, but its sometimes too mild. I find that it makes for a great rotary pad both for cutting and finishing out. Behaves sort of like the Propel Green via rotary.
