High, I am a novice in the paint correction world. I do headlights as a mobile business, and wanted to get into paint correction, since I have done it as a hobbiest with my cars.

Now that I have a PC 7424 and a Flex PE8 (Small I know, but it is for headlights and detail work only), I need some advice.

I have Menzerna products, and decided to get an AIO product too.

I am impressed with the HD Speed, but it got me thinking, how "good" can a AIO product be?

Where does this type of product fail compared to using separate dedicated products on the average car?

I know an AIO saves a lot of time (and therefore often money), that's why they exist. I used my PC 7424 first, with speeds no higher than 5. I also used a LC 4" orange pad for this small area on my roof to try the HD Speed out. It worked good, but using a Meguiars MF cutting pad on the Flex PE8 worked MUCH better at the slowest speed, but had a few holograms that I had to chase away with the PC again.

I know all my issues are technic, since I'm new at this. I just wanted to get a good idea on what is the best standard I can achieve with the AIO?

I have a video showing side by side of the PC foam pad, vs unrestored. I also have the same panel I used the PC on, followed up by the Flex rotary with MF cut pad (compared to the unrestored side). I'll try and post that today if I can figure out how to do it. I have a photo bucket account, maybe I can use that.

Thank you guys!
 
I find using hd speed works great on newer cars that need to be amped up a bit.The shine is vibrant and very slick,not to sure about durability as I really don't care.Doing this for a living all day everyday the ease of use is a big plus on any color car.The customer looks at the shine and slickness is all that matters as I will follow up every6 months,so durability is not a big factor on maintained cars.over all the ease of use and the shine and slickness makes it a very nice product.
 
It's about expectations,no matter what product you use you will always have more of a corrected look and defect free finish with a rotary then do the finishing with a pc.for simplicity use the hd speed with a pc if your paint will accept favorable results either foam or micro.
 
HD speed, LC orange pad, on a flex3401 produces AMAZING results.



this truck was pretty bad, and i achieved 80% defect free with an AIO

looks great,I haven't had the opportunity yet to really put this product to the test.Ive done maybe 9 cars with it mostly new or 2 years old.Been doing essence jobs prior to hd.although tried it on a 737 with not so great results,reverted back to menzerna cut and gloss there was just to much carbon embedded.

It can be this good.
 
Wowwwwww!!!!

Thank you for all the before/afters. This stuff is amazing. I thought about using the Poxy sealer, but then thought doesn't that defeat the purpose of a AIO?

Is the shine MUCH more noticeable with the Poxy? Cause the HD Speed shine is pretty darn amazing!

Wow, I am even more excited about this product. I can't wait to get a full size rotary.

How many passes (for example doing a 2'x2 area, Mike Phillips style) does it take to get these results?

Applying any more pressure other than medium?
 
Yup, can't go wrong with HD Speed for an AIO.

I usually work it for around 4 passes with a good amount of pressure on my Flex 3401.
 
Thanks Haris300. I'm guessing by your signature pic that's your 300ZX? One of my favorite cars...

What does "HD speed" mean?
 
Gentlemen, any of the before/after pics possible with a PC or do you NEED a 3401 type polisher to get THAT good results? I have a 7424 and a detail rotary (Flex PE8).

I know I NEED a 3401, but have to wait to save up for one.
