If HD speed is a combination of products has anybody made their own combos?

driggett · Dec 11, 2015

I was wondering if anybody has come up with good formulas to make combos of HD products that make sense for different type of jobs. For instance one between cut and polish (which is adapt I know) or combining HD touch with HD Express for all in one weekly waterless cleaner.
Thanks,
Chris

I think I remember reading someone mixing a small portion of HD cut with either; Polish and Poxy, or Speed inside of a ketchup bottle. Called it Super Speed lol. Kinda interested on how well it works lol.

I mix D114 Rinseless wash (1:128) and D156 spray wax in a ratio of like 4:1 (D114

156) to somewhat get more milage on my D156. (I use this mixture as a waterless wash, instead of a rinseless) If we're talking nicknames of our concocutions, I'd call it D270 Rinseless Wax.

Then again, there is already D115 looooool.

I have pondered to mix Ultimate Liquid Wax, and D156 in a bottle, to make a somewhat roided up version of D156, but it would probably need a bit more buffing as said by another forum member when I mentioned it.

It would probably be easier to mix D156 and Paint Protect 365, since I already attached a spray head onto the PP365 bottle to make it easier to put onto a pad that I use.

I believe I mixed CKQS and 845 back in the day- I can't say that it was a resounding success, but it was worth a shot.
I'd be interested in a compound/sealant combo

Only thing I ever tried was using poorboys PwS and pro polish 2. 2 dime drops of each on the pad. Didn't mix them in a bottle but wanted more cut while still leaving some protection behind. Actually worked pretty good. Can't speak for how long it lasted though

I hear if you mix 75% HD Polish with 25% HD Poxy, you get a really nice product.

I have heard from a few mixing HD Cut with HD Polish with get a nice semi-agressive polish. I don't know the ratio though.

Ben,
So does HD Speed contain proxy or just the Montan wax?

It contains 25% Poxy I believe.

Ben,
If one wants a milder version of HD Speed could they mix it with HD Poxy to get let's say a 50/50 ratio and would this be truly milder in abrasion?
Thanks,
Chris

what i've been wondering is that people rave about the cutting ability of hd speed while finishing well , so does that mean hd polish would cut as much with the same pad?

I imagine you could. There would be next no polishing power though. You might have to experiment with different ratios.

HD Polish would have a bit more cut, but be about the same to a non-discerning eye.

SPEED = polish and poxy

Hey everyone. Speed has Poxy in it. I make what I call SUPER SPEED. TAKE KETCHUP TYPE BOTTLE, I fill it 1/2 or better with speed. then I just add 1/4 of cut and 1/4 more polish and top off with more poxy. Then shake the bejezesus out of it and or stir.. ITS A BEAST. Using speed alone is great. bumping it up, even better. Wipe off is just as easy. Speed and all the products have a amazing working time. I let my mix sit for about 5 min for the poxy to do its thing. If I just do speed, and want extra protection for the longer lasting effect, then I use poxy on top, and let it sit over night , on my own car, but at least 30 to 45 min for a client if I have the time. Remember, Poxy goes a long way! CAUTION CAUTION ...HYDRO2 DOES NOT LIKE GOING ON TOP! SO DONT TRY USING THAT ON TOP OF ANY OF THE SPEED OR POXY PRODUCTS. It should be fine after polish or cut.

ShaneB · Dec 14, 2015

I wonder... If speed is simply 75% polish 25% poxy, could one make up a similar product using 75% adapt and 25% poxy? Seeing how adapt is a beast at removing heavier defects and finishing LSP ready in most cases, it would make for one hell of an AIO. I'm going to try this!

I'm going to try a custom mixture...but since I don't have cut, I'll use poxy speed and adapt

Yeah, great idea. I have poxy, SPEED and cut in my arsenal!

OK IM REPEATING WHERE SOMEONE FOUND MY ORIGINAL POST.

I make what I call SUPER SPEED. SORTA mix like this, I have no exact other than my eyeball: (ketchup bottle or product bottle of some sort) 1/2 +/- speed mix equally 20% more of polish and cut, then the last 10% with poxy. STIR AND SHAKE IT TILL WELL MIXED. Pretty much what I use for all cars that need a little more umph than just speed. W speed I use a B&S green, with super speed I use green or white or orange depending on how I want to work it.

Hope that helps.
