Review: HD polishes!

Good thought, but the 5'' Meguiar's thin pad I used was new. Polishing was done using an MT300 at 5800 opm with light-to-medium pressure and 3-4 passes.

Considering the many positive reviews HD Polish has received, I'm a little disappointed. Actually, some of the dusting spots wouldn't wipe off certain black trim pieces all that easily. Maybe I got a bottle from a batch that wasn't quite right.

The results were good and the finish looks nice, but I'm not planning on buying more HD Polish.

Here's a quote from David Fermani regarding the use of HD Polish, but most of it applies to HD Cut as well. The most important difference is don't overuse the products and don't "prime the pad" in the conventional sense of coating the entire pad and rubbing it in-----

**Take a fresh, clean pad of your choice. Again, if this pad hasn't been completely cleaned prior to use, old product residue could still be in the pad and cause dust to fly everywhere. Very important to get this off on the right foot.

**(initial application/prime) Apply 4-5 small drops of product throughout the outer edges of the pad. This doesn't mean the center and this doesn't mean to use water, QD or anything else.

**On medium speed (speed 4 or 5 on a GG for example) work the product in a 2 by 2 foot area using slow arm speed and moderate downward pressure.

**Make 2 to 4 passes. A pass is considered 1 back and forth and 1 up and down movement.

**Wipe & inspect

**Clean pad with either a firm pad brush, compressed air and/or towel.

**For reapplication, apply 3-4 more drop on outer edge of pad.

**Swap to fresh pad after 2-3 full sized panels or when pad begins to be over-saturated with product.

hope it helps
 
I keep reading more and more about how wonderful the HD product line is from 3D. I will seriously have to look into acquiring some product.

From what I've been reading is that no matter what challenge you throw at the HD product line it always comes out looking stunning.

I believe he mean no need for QD/water to prime the pad.
And yes that polish cream position in the picture is correct but only 3 drops :D
