SVR posting about HTEC made me remember that I have a bunch of it gathering dust on my shelf. Since I finally got the SUV back from the shop (it's been in to get fixed four times now for the same problem), I decided to start working on the paint correction. So I pulled out the HTEC, filled up a four ounce bottle to about the three ounce point, then added about a half ouce of Optimum Polish. Wow, I forgot how good HTEC is. It got out some very heavy defects, and finished down *much* better than I remembered. This was with a purple foamed wool pad.
HTEC really is a great product. Especially when you add a bit of either OP or OC to extend the working time. Without the OP or OC, it just seems to dry too fast, so you can't really break it down/work it as much as you'd like. It leaves a bad compounding haze. But add in the OP or OC and you can break it down to darn near LSP ready.
Tomorrow comes the first use of M105.. Can't wait!
