Default Edge pads

Im thinking of getting me some edge pads but im thinking about it twice do to the fact that i keep reading threads in autogeek about people having bad experiences with them
Like this thread here Edge pads gone wrong if i do go with the edge 2000 6 inchd pads i would get me the The Edge Dual action 6 inch kit
but i was thinking about going back with sonus but trying there
Sonus sfx foam polishing kit since i previously owned the Sonus DAS Pad Kit but had a bad experience with the green pad so i wan to know your good experience and bad with the edge pads i dont want to spend 100 on some pads that im not going to like..

Do edge have the 4 inch pads? couldn't find it in autogeeks site

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the Edge 2000 pad system. Before I had the Edge system I used either Lake Country or Meguiar's buffing pads. I got tired of pads delaminating and I had a bad experience with LC. So, I switched to Edge.

I have been SO happy with these pads. I've used them numerous times and they look brand new. The double sided pads are great because I can just flip it over and I have a fresh pad to work with. Plus, the automatic centering reduces vibrations during polishing.

My Edge products have been 100% problem free. However, Edge always stands behind their products 110%. I think you'll find anytime someone has a broken adapter that when they send it back to Edge they often get two new ones in return. Plus, not everyone realizes this but the Edge adapter is guaranteed for LIFE. I don't think you'll find a velcro backing plate with the same guarantee.

Also, here are the 4" Edge Pads . . .

They say they're for a Cyclo but they work on a PC as well.

Wow! They keep changing the contents of the kits. I'm glad I bought it when I did. I think it was a better deal then.

Anyway, if it helps your decision I can tell you I've only used my yellow pad once.
