Has anyone tried HD Speed vs. (other AIO)?

I doubt it. The red is more a finishing pad. You`d need either the green or more likely the orange pad.

To remove imperfection with a red pad - it isn`t going to happen. Especially not on a BMW pad. Use something more aggressive.

Is it Jet Black or Sapphire Black?

H20 tangerine is a perfect match with speed. It`s also a perfect match with HD Polish. Both will finish down perfectly.

The car is Jet Black. I wonder if the HD Foam Pad Polishing Blue would remove them since it says it is for light correction. If not I could probably use the HD Foam Pad Polishing /Cutting Green. I just want to be as least aggressive as possible. I am considering following up with HD Nitro Seal. I also need a good buffer recommendation. I was going to get a porter cable 7424xp but the guy in the 3D store said they were getting a new 3D buffer in that will be around $100 and exactly the same as the FLEX XC 3401.

I think you should go orange.

Excellent choice.

That`s interesting and exciting!! :clap2: They`ve been keeping that quiet!

Just like the 3401 but only 100 bucks? I`d like to see that

Why not go with the GG RO--more power than the XP and has a lifetime warranty. Here`s a good kit from DD that includes a 5" BP and five Uber pads (your choice of color)--you`ll need more than one or two or each color--I believe the Uber pads are the same as HD pads and Buff & Shine pads.

When my HD Speed comes in, I`ve got a buddy`s blue Saturn (somewhere around 200k miles, not sure what year it is) that I`m going to do a 50/50 on the hood of D151 and Speed. It`s his beater car and since I`ll have access to the vehicle on a daily basis, I`ll be able to test durability. Now just 2 factors to consider - foam or MF pad (I tend to always lean towards MF now, even though I have a vast amount of foam pads), and to QD or not to QD when wiping the residue (I normally use OID but I have the Meg`s Last Touch as well that I normally use as clay lube).
