Hi-Temp Levelers - which ones for PC vs. Rotary

I have been wondering about using Hi-Temp Levelers with a PC and wondering if they are really intended as rotary-only products . . .



After asking this question ten different ways in ten different threads (possibly to the annoyance of some :nixweiss ), I finally called Hi-Temp and asked them directly about their line of levelers. Here is what I was told:



HT-61 Light Cut and HT-300 Medium Cut are probably OK with a Dual Action polisher as they are solvent based. The solvents will help to soften the clear coat so that the swirls can be removed with the friction that a PC develops.



HT-357 Heavy Cut, HT-420 Extreme Cut, and HT-440 Extreme Cut Plus are water based and are therefore primarily intended for the rotary. Since they don't contain solvents, the heat generated by the rotary is needed to cut the clear coat.



Just wanted to share as maybe others had the same question. . . :secret
 
Hmm..very interesting information - Thanks for sharing. I used Hi-Temp Extreme Cut for the first time last night via cyclo and it works great!! For $6 I think it's worth a shot to try it on PC, you could always re-sell it to one of us if it doesnt work out. Again, thanks for being brave and calling the company :) Hopefully there will be a nice review or more comments made on Hi-Temp products soon as people are using them more and more.
 
... Not exactly brave, just curious. The person who answered the phone was friendly and helpful. Took all of 1-2 minutes.



Do you think you removed or filled with Extreme Cut and the Cyclo?

If you hate the phone .... sounds like the Internet and this type of forums are a God-send for you. :chuckle:



Interesting to hear that Extreme Cut removed the defects with a cyclo. Maybe it will work OK with a PC at speed 6 and some pressure. :nixweiss
 
There is another forum member drewhaynes I believe his SN is drew.haynes ; he ordered Extreme Cut and if I recall correctly he was going to use it via PC. So maybe he can chime in if he had a chance to use it yet.



As for the internet, yes I do enjoy this site very much and just browsing the internet in general :) (insert geek smiley here)
 
Noting Joshua312's good results with the Cyclo, if I were gonna try the H-T EC by PC I'd use a 4" pad. You can't apply much pressure to the PC with a 6.5" pad without it bogging down a bit and losing the dual-action motion (just jiggling).
