I'm really digging this HD speed product for my AIO go to. People seem to really be liking this. Does this have any filers in it to mask and hide the scratches and swirls? I hope it does

Also I'm currently using an AIO of Meguiars D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream. I have been using this stuff with a green foam lake county pad.

So, with that said, I'm your guys opinion how does the HD speed AIO compare to the Megs D151? If given a chose between the two for a customers vehicle which one of those AIO would you pick?

The HD speed for one gallon is $70. The megs D151 for one gallon is $35. Is the price difference worth the HD speed?
 
I haven't used D151 but I do use HD Speed and Menzerna 3 in 1. Recently tested them back to back on 2 cars, a 2014 off white Porsche Cayenne and 2014 orange Ford Focus ST. I used the 3401 with BnS Green pads and LC Orange on both cars and both AIO's.

The interesting bit is both Speed and 3 in 1 preferred the heavier cutting Orange pads over the Green polishing pad on both cars. HD Speed while being a fantastic AIO lost to Menz 3 in 1 in overall cut/correction ability, but in overall finish/gloss both were identical. For milder correction Speed is perfect, but on harder paints and deeper swirls Menzerna 3 in 1 is the AIO king.

Interesting, What's the deal with Meg M100. Does that have good cutting power with a nice finish shine?
 
M100 I don't have access to and really wish I did. I have already one stepped with M101,105,95,85 and UC. Meguiars shouldn't be overlooked as they serious cutters with very nice finishing. M105 I won't buy again though, too dusty and too dry.
 
I could not believe how good HD Speed worked with Lake Country orange CCS and a rotary. I experienced better results with the coarser pads as well.

Have you tried the HDAdapt we spoke of too?

LOL on the HDSpeed......I couldn't help but hit a few panels on our van with it and an orange pad as I tried out my Flex 3401. I LOVE how it works and that it's so easy to take off. I have a ton of LSP's so I've not used HDPoxy but I so love Menzerna Powerlock and others.....

In terms of fillers, I believe it does likely have some. Nothing like a true glaze though I'm sure. I use Blacklight and Blackhole on dark cars and love it. Two coats and then lock them in with a sealer. They really work well. I've tested them on the door handle ares that often are riddled with scratches.
 
RE Fillers: Often comes up in conversations and all I can do is pass along info from the Source, David Fermani from 3D.

I personally finish all my correction jobs with Speed unless I'm using a coating. I also feel that POXY over Speed looks better than POXY over Polish so feel free to use either as you see fit.

You seem to have experience with both products and you're "really digging" the Speed. What do YOU think and what is YOUR reputation worth with your customers cars?

Wax Master, I apologize for my wording on my post.. I have no experience with HD Adapt. I'm digging all the positive reviews on here about the stuff.

My reputation is great with my customers. Just curious, why do you ask?
 
I just used speed for the first time the other night and was blown away by it. IMO it lives up to all of the hype and praise that it has been generating. Long working time, great correction, and wipes off so easily.

Here is a pic of speed topped with poxy.

No one answered your question. It's odd that you mention HD Speed and Megs M100 in the same thread. Both are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

3D is a blend of Adapt, Cut, Polish and on the Autopia cut chart they grade the cut as a #3 on a scale of 0-10. M100 Pro Speed Compound – an ultra heavy-cut compound.

3D HD Speed is an AIO with polishes and sealant, hence AIO and finishes off w/out an additional required step. M100 is used to remove severe defects and will require some polish after (could be Speed, 205, etc., or any other favorite).

Also, keep your eye on the Griot's BOSS Finishing Sealant. It's taken a while for the word to get out, but this is also one heck of an AIO.

Don't be fooled by HD Speed... It does correct, not fill!

The following 50/50's are results of HD Speed:

I used HD Speed for the first time last weekend on my Chrome Yellow 98 Cobra. I've never seen/experienced a product that was easier to use. I used an orange pad. As I anticipated it didn't leave me 100% defect free but it did leave me 100% satisfied. I'm not a professional detailer though, just a DIYer who enjoys using great products on his vehicles. That said, after I finished my lunch I went and topped it with Poxy on a red pad, which went on and off like a dream. I know a lot of people ask what the point of topping an AIO is, but I am always a 2 coat wax guy (remember this is a hobby for me). So in that regard, Speed still saves me a step. My yellow paint was pretty much glowing in the sun at that point.

Thank you sir. I was actually looking for a product that cut really good but finishes up like a polish. That way I don't need to polish the car saving my customers money. I'm hearing HD adapt is great for that.
