For you 3D fans. HD Adapt has been discontinued

Please, someone, find the reason for the discontinuation of Adapt. I'm really curious.
 
My guess is the AAT twins is why it's being discontinued. Just sucks that to get the results of Adapt in one step a person now either has to do a two step or mix some Cut and Polish. I've tried mixing 70%Cut and 30%Polish and had great results.
 
Had a sample bottle of it. Once you see what you can do with HD polish and a heavier pad; Adapt becomes....obselete in my opinion.
 
Makes no sense to me. And use Speed instead? Did that guy actually really say that. :doh:
 
Aren't 3D's AAT products (501 & 502) supposed to be the same thing? Or possibly even better versions of HD Adapt? I've heard nothing but positives about both the polish & compound but have not used them personally. I've been meaning to pick some up now that they're offered in 8 oz. containers.
 
From my understanding it seems like it was designed more for rotary, and the price hike from adapt never made me try it
Plus never had an issue with Adapt, it always had enough cut too
I quit using carpro reflect and just used adapt with softer pad and it Finished better then Reflect ontop of better gloss.
 
Yeah, I agree about the Speed comment being stupid. If you want a polish use a polish, not an AOI like Speed. I don't think he was thinking clearly.

Depending on paint type, speed and the right pad can get the job done and if you can add protection at the same time, boom! Top it with poxy and bam!

Yeah but Speed can't correct like Adapt. They are really two different products. I think this is a HUGE mistake on 3D / HD to discontinue Adapt.

I agree. I finally bought a bottle a month ago based off your recommendation I saw in another thread and was impressed with the results. Alas the hunt continues...

I was going top buy a bottle in literally two days after seeing so much praise about the product. I thought it would be my go to product. I guess not.
 
Just ordered the last gallon a competitor had. Winning. This is my go to product.

Seems like a typical response from 3D. That is all I will say about that. Plus they push their product that is a money maker.

That's all fine. But when someone is looking to go with a coating an AIO is not the best product to use unless it was intended to be like Essence.
 
Let not forget how long they have been working at this correction type of product. Adapt replaced Uno which was pretty decent as well.

Seems weird there was stocking issues then this. Hope 3d isnt having some sort of shakeup.
 
I have an unused bottle of adapt if anyone wants to trade for it let me know.
 
Thankfully I have my brand new 32oz bottle of Adapt and a partial 16oz. left. It's really amazing stuff.

This is true. It will take me a while to use a whole gallon but once it is gone I will be switching from HD/3D unless they replace Adapt. Sick of them coming out with great products and removing them with no warning or explanation.
