Dedication to Detail / Edge

[Mr. Clean]

Did I sleep through an announcement explaining that Edge pads are now owned by 3M? Or are my eyes and my browser deceiving me? It seems that my attempts all lead me to the 3M site. What's happening or what happened?

you have been sleeping ...that was before they got Megs

Wake up! That is correct. Edge now belongs to 3M. So does Meguiar's BTW. They were bought out about the same time.

I'm sure it was an offer they couldn't refuse($$$)

[Mr. Clean]

I knew all about 3M and Meguiar's, initiated a thread on that topic, but I heard nothing about 3M/Edge. Was there any forum discussion regarding this? Did Aaron go with the company? How is 3M treating the products? Are they continuing with any R&D or just going through with the product as is?

[flash gordon]

Aaron is probally at a beach house I wouldn't fear to much, 3M is a pretty solid company. As far as R&D they already have that covered I'm sure.

I read about it back when it happened, but never read any updates since, ie: what's happening with the double pads, or Aaron.

[Mr. Clean]

Good question. Just today I read where someone from DtD might still be operating as IAP still selling the Schmitt wash mitt. I think the polishing pads are still available.

So does anyone have any further information about how 3M is handling this? Are they standing pat with the existing Edge product or are they looking to improve and or expand? AM was carrying the re-branded (IIRC) Edge pads.
