Am I using HD Polish the right way?

I ended up giving it another go this weekend. Worked much better for me. It`s a very good polish.

Did you do anything different than what David said? I was using it today and was having dusting problems.

I think there was some left over polish residue in the pad or on my machine the previous time I used it. I grabbed a new pad and cleaned my DA from any compound/polish dust. I only got dust when I accidentally caught an edge. I only used it on the hood to polish off an old sealant, so I cleaned the pad as I moved along.

Two weeks ago, I was working on a "frame off" resto project (76 Porsche) that was sprayed with super hard PPG 2 stage. Knowing how anal the owner is about his, well, everything, I went with my go-to products (Megs M105/M205 on orange/white pads on PC) since I know them best. Anyway. I ended that job early, as I wasn`t getting the results I wanted. Told the owner I was gonna do some research and get some supplies.

Picked up Menzerna 400, Megs MF cutting disc, and followed with the HD Polish I already had in stock.

I`m really liking working with the HD Polish. Had virtually no dusting. Went on easy and wipe-off was way too easy. The job was moving along faster too with this combo. The shine? Like, warm apple pie. Never mind the pie. But damn, the finish looks good. (unfortunately, I have to go back and redo the hood!)

^^ That looks great. I typically use M205 and am low so I purchased HD Polish and it is easier to remove than M205. I never had an issue removing M205 or an issue with it dusting unless it was very hot. Plus M205 seems to work well on my cars that have a little harder paint. But HD Polish finished great. I was impressed with how quick it got the job done just using it with a polishing pad. It is also less oily than M205.

JustJesus- Glad that worked out so well for you! And with the HD Polish there are hardly *any* oils/etc. left behind. My paints all finish out fine with M205, but the "cleaner" nature of the HD Polish makes it a no-brainer for me.

The Guz / Accumulator, thanks guys.

I agree with you guys on M205. I still love it, and have a new quart of it that I fully intend to use. I guess just lately, with the crazy heat and humidity I`ve been seeing, it`s been giving me a few "issues." Nothing I can`t work around though.
