    is HD speed as good as HD polish to use after HD cut?

    is HD Speed good enough to use as the sole product after a round of HD Cut, or do I need to use something like HD Polish in between? I know HD Speed supposedly contains HD Polish, but is it less aggressive?

They didn't want anything crazy, and didn't want days spent working on it. So while the paint was dull and lifeless (and non matching repaint [rattlecan] in some spots, I...

    hey all, if you caught the miata I did a couple of weeks ago, I plan to pretty much the same treatment for this car. It's actually a vehicle I purchased for myself last week.

    rupes or 3D?

    Ok, so Ive had my GG6 for a year or two now and want to try something new.

    Anyone know anything about these products?

    Just picked them up at a local store that sells cheap merchandise. Anyone know if they're any good? I got the slime because it sounds like a healthy choice that won't damage an dry out tires. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone
