HD Pro line will be available online soon. UNO and POXY will be available in 32 oz. bottles. TOTAL and FREE will be available in 64 oz. concentrates (makes 5-8 gallons of ready-to-use). HD PROTECT will be available in 24 oz. spray (as some people have noted, this product can be diluted for pro work). HD GEL will not be available in the HD Pro line, but we will offer a professional exterior dressing.

Any kind of ETA on the pro line? If these products are as capable as everyone is saying, I may be making some major product changes.

I missed out on this special. I really hate it too. Since scumbags broke into my garage and stole everything "power" I don't have a buffer/polisher anymore. I have been looking to replace the one I had but missed this deal because I was to late.

Well talk to David or call them. I wanted the kit with all the products as I'm planning on selling this stuff so I better get to know all the stuff. But since there is a delay on the affiliate stuff/pricing I asked nicely and they very nicely hooked me up. We've got 4 or 5 cars to try it on this weekend if it makes it here in time. Although I'm hoping we aren't getting the bad pad they were talking about in the other thread!

Just got mine! I hope to give it a whirl tonight!

Ok, here's my review! Keep in mind that this is my first time ever using a machine to polish.
First the product came nicely packaged! (I like the HDTape, lol)

Pics of what's inside (I ordered some extra stuff!)

My test area was the hood of my 1993 Honda Civic Si. Now the paint isn't horrible, but the car is 16 almost 17 years old. Neither of the previous owners probably cared extremely well for it.

First pic is of the hood before washing

You can see some of the scratches (RIDS, I think they're called)

Pic of the clay after 1/2 the hood...not too bad I don't think!

Pic of HD Uno and Unopad

Here's some before and after pics. As you can see, I don't have adequate lighting, but I'm currently doing a rear brake job on the car, so I couldn't move it out tonight.
50/50 (Left of the tape HD Uno, Right of the tape washed & clayed only)

These before and after shots aren't great, but the best way to tell is to look at the difference in the detail of the worklight to see what the polishing did.
Before:

After:

Before:

After:

Before:

After:

So to reiterate...
I washed the hood with dish soap
Dryed it with a WW
Clayed using clay magic and Meguiars QD as lube
Wiped down with MF
HD Uno w/ Unopad on PCXP

Overall, my first machine polishing experience was good! I learned how pressure can affect different things, and that I need a lot more practice!

I still have the edges of the hood to do by hand, but I can't wait to get this thing out in the sun to fully see the difference!

Oh and next time I'm gonna try to remember to keep the camera on the same setting so there isn't as much discrepancy in the pics!

Thanks!

P.S. David you have a PM

Fantastic pictorial! Thank you for sharing.

I'd say for a first time machine polishing experience, it turned out fantastic.

Thanks David! Looking forward to tackling the rest of the car in better light once the brakes are done!

Yes. I will make an announcement today!

Hey guys...I received my package a couple of days ago and cannot wait to use it! The PC sounds "meaner" than my older PC7336, almost like a rotary polisher...definately feels like it has "bite" to it...I will report after doing my black 07 F-150 next week. Thanks so much David...
