This stuff is awesome!!! I am amazed at the correction I was able to get, in the time I was able to get it, by using it with my PC and an orange pad. I am very, very impressed with it.



Another thing I noticed is that it's not so fun to use on single stage paint. I did a 97 Lexus SC400 yesterday and the front half of the car was BC/CC, but the rear half was single stage. When I was doing the front half, it was lovely, it broke down well and was easy to remove, didn't leave any marring at all. On the back half, it seemed like it wouldn't break down, like I was just smearing the abrasives all over it, left some pretty bad marring and was difficult to remove. On the BC/CC portion, it would nearly go clear, but on the single stage portion it kept the look of being freshly applied.



I was able to get all marring out using OP and a low profile flat white LC pad, but the product was so much better to use on the BC/CC portions. Another thing that surprised me about it was the fact that it didn't dust. HC and even MC dust like crazy, very irritating. It was nice doing a detail totally dust free from beginning to end.



For those who haven't tried it yet but want to, be very careful with pad selection when using this product cause it's got alot of cut to it. Try the pad below the one you think you should use first. When they say extreme cut, they aren't lying.

What polish/pad did you finish up with after the HiTemp Extreme Cut ?
