Review - HD Express

[The Guz]

Swanicyouth I hope you don't mine if I post some thoughts on this product in your thread.

I have to start by saying that I agree with you on this being thick. I got a little sample spray bottle just like the HD Dress bottle you have. I tried pressing the sprayer down and no product was coming out. I had to give it a good shake until it finally started to come out of the sprayer. One thing I did notice with this sprayer versus the large bottle you got is that it atomized the product very well. It didn't look like the photo you posted of it on the hood. I was expecting that but it worked good in the little spray bottle. You may want to give a small bottle like that a shot if you decide to use HD Express again.

Even though the directions explain that the product can be applied directly to a painted surface, I prefer to apply it onto a small folded MF towel and then wipe it over the surface. Because of how thick the product is, I feel that it can create heavy spots when sprayed directly onto the surface. With a MF, it allows for a much thinner, evener application. This ultimately reduces smears and quickens removal. Especially on a dark colored car such as this BMW. If possible, I would really enjoy hearing your feedback after trying it the way I suggested. This might give you a new outlook on the product.

I did try both this method and also applying it straight to the paint. With the atomization of the sprayer both worked very well. I didn't have any high spots or streaks with either method. It was a nice 70 degree day here in Southern California when I used it.

Say you finish a quick AIO job with Speed and Express adds even more gloss and protection.

This is exactly why I used it. I used it after toying around with Meguiar's White Wax on my personal daily driver.
