Wolfgang/lake Country Pads

Big difference with the two is the way they connect and the fact you can flip the edge ones over. Oh yes and the cost. But I am going to let justin jump in and tell you the details... this is his favorite subject... I dont want to rain on his parade!;)
 
Since it was brought up, I love my Edge 2K pads. Easily the best pads/system out there.
 
Thanks Meghan for the vouch.

Here is the review of the Edge 2000 Pads:
EDGE 2K Pad Review

I have since recieved 3 different types of pads that are experimental. You will not find a company and staff that will back their products like Aaron and his crew at Edge. I've had a couple of problems and they have sent me new items no questions asked! To me, they have cornered the foam pad industry and I'm glad to be taking part in it.

They are truly a 2 pads in 1 setup. I use one side of the pad for half of the vehicle then flip it over. No lining up the velcro. No backing plate failures. I'm intentionally running them at #6 on my PC and have had no problems. They are super easy to clean with the XMT Pad Cleaner and Pad Conditioner.

I've already done a review of the XMT pad cleaner here:

You cannot go wrong with this setup.

How about them compared to the edge 2000 pads?

you cannot go wrong with either product. I think the polls clearly show that Lake Country is more widely used, but that is likely do to price and ease of use. (velcro backing)

Nope. I don't use one. I do to many cars and do not want the liability.
I've heard really good things though.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you can custom make your 2 sided pads with any 2 types of foam or wool that you choose. Can't do that with anything else on the market that I know of.

Once again, I'm not knocking anyone's pads at all. I still use my Meg's Soft Buff for certain things. I just know that they work and save me time. Major thing for me.

Justin is a good honest man, I will give him my thumbs up...:applause: Does nice honest reviews, and from the looks of his work he is one hell of a detailer!:awesome:
 
I don't get free pads for posting the truth from my experiences. I want all of you to have as much info as possible when looking for a new product. I do 4-5 full details a week and over 20+ washes. I see alot of real-world results on lots of different vehicles.

When I can pass on results and I'm excited about a product......WATCH OUT!

Thanks Meghan. I'll be doing a full review of the XMT lineup tomorrow evening. I'm attacking a black 05 Odyssey at 8 AM!
Pray for me....
 
Justin...05 Odyssey?

How did the 05 Odyssey detail go? I have an 05 Odyssey too. I haven't done a detail on it just yet. I'm still learning and practicing on my 8 yr old Accord.

Any tips on how to tackle the beast of a minivan? I find that it's a major undertaking just to properly wash and dry it. It takes me twice as long to do the van as it does to wash the Accord.

How are you going to polish the roof, i.e. how will you get the reach and also be able to apply the proper pressure to the PC?

I was thinking of just using Meg's Deep Crystal paint cleaner and polish (steps 1 and 2) since my van is silver and there are no visible swirls (even in sunlight.) I'll then top off now with 2 layers of NXT.

Justin will you have to have Edge (Aron) make the pads or get'em through the Geek?
 
:righton: Go to Edge! It's unreal the Customer Service they give. I had the old versions of the Classic DA & E2K system. Aaron sent me completely new pads at no cost! The newer textures work extremely well. I'm sure the LC VC pads are great, but the Customer Service I get from Edge is unreal!

Justin, exactly how well does XMT Pad Cleaner & Conditioner work? I currently use DP Pad Cleaner and it works fine from a few washes. The bad habit is leaving chemicals in the pad for a few days :(
