Recently I have been advised by several people to try out some HD products. Given that I already have an ample supply of compounding and polishing products, I was not too interested in purchasing more for the time being... at least that is what I thought.
I was kindly offered a few small samples of Cut, Polish, and Adapt from a fellow detailer, so I was interested to see what these products were all about. After messing around with them on a few panels, I was ready to purchase some more to give them a go on a full project.
First up was this Lingenfelter SSR. I had already decided I was going to need some serious cut to revive this hard paint, so I slapped a MF cutting pad on my LHR21 and applied some HD cut. The vehicle was in rough shape as you can see...
I made 6 passes (3 horizontal, 3 vertical) and then pulled the car back out into the sun to snap another picture and inspect the results.
Needless to say, I was quite pleased. This paint was hard, and I had no intentions of producing a flawless finish with me 2 step process, but this was a good amount of correction and a very nice finish for the compounding phase. You will notice there are a couple of random deep defects remaining, but the majority of the finish is very clear and quite glossy.
I will also say that I experienced very little dusting throughout this entire vehicle with this product. It was considerably less than the Meguiar's M105 or M101 products, and possibly even less than FG400. The most noticeable trait to me was how easily it wiped away from the surface. I was very pleased with my first full detail with HD Cut.
My assistant was following behind me refining the surface with HD Polish. I did a few sections with this product to get some experience with it, and I was very happy with this one as well. Polish was used on a white LC Polishing Pad and produced absolutely no dust and wiped away extremely easily from the surface. It easily removed any haze or marring that was left from the compounding process and produced an incredible finish. Very happy with my purchase at this point!
Most recently I was able to use Adapt as a one-step correction product on this 2013 Mazda MX-5. Adapt was used on a white LC polishing pad on my Rupes LHR21. This product also produced no dust, and was pretty easy to remove (comparable to M205), but not quite as buttery smooth to wipe away as HD polish.
This product easily removed moderate defects and left a brilliant finish on this metallic black paint.
Overall I was quite pleased with all 3 of these products and am somewhat upset that I waited so long to try them out. These have all earned a place on my shelf and I look forward to using them more in the future.
