How does it compare to fg400?
How does it compare to fg400?
First off it smells a 1000 times better. 400 reminds me of some of the older, heavy solvent smelling compounds. As for cut I couldn`t say exactly but I`d probably give the edge to FG400 from my past experience. Adapt finishes much better, it also doesn`t load the pad up anywhere near what 400 does, and one of my favorite things with it is minimal dusting even when using air to clean out pads.
Is there at least a tentative release date for this product? I`m really needing to order compound soon and if this is not coming out for a while I need to go ahead and get a gallon of 105...

Is 101 that much more significant cut than 105? I was going to order some FG400 to try out eventually but might try the 101 instead.
Hey guys how is everyone? Its been a while since I posted here. I know Im sorry, just really busy as of late. HD Adapt is an incredible product that should be in every detailers arsenal. I had been using this product for quite sometime now and love it. Its got just the right cut and just the right finish. The Adaptive Abrasives are absolutely amazing. Here below are some videos that I made a while back testing it out.
This video is from about a month ago.
Here is another
Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks to everyone for showing interest in this great new product! At this time final production has been slightly pushed back. HD is in the process of finalizing an entire line of products and wants to release HD ADAPT with the rest. I also think Tunch is putting some additional tweaks to the formulation to make it an even great product.
What exactly is HD Adapt? Great question actually and it deserves some explanation beside my OP. It`s (in a sense) an all purpose polishing compound that can be used to cut and polish virtually any polishable surface. It not only works great on paint, but also PPF, gelcoat, plastic, alluminum and/or wood. Due to it`s versatility, this product will not only just be marketed to the auto detailing industry. I`ll be sure to update everyone as developments take place. May also try and put up a give away opportunity to a few random testers prior to it`s final release.
We currently have approximately 12 testers experimenting with HD ADAPT. Most have given excellent reviews. I am not willing to disclose who these people are, but I can assure you that they are top tier individuals who`s opinion really matters. If any of the testers would like to step up and give their unadulterated opinion on the product, please feel free.

How much longer you going to keep us waiting fantastic product. Its needed now.
i wanted to see what HDA could do for the stained black trim on this white M5. i had a little left at this point, just enough for the trims =( i did do a piece of the pillar with the makita & blue 4" BS pads. i got a little holograms but they were cleaned up with a black BS pad & some 3MUF. i would say the best way to tackle these stains next time would be with the griots small polisher & a black BS pad for the pillars, then use your hands for the skinny parts. i was able to get similar results by hand. with the rotary it came out quicker but by hand was almost as good. it did take a few tries by hand but they looked great.
*note, although the little griots looks like a tasty tool, i still am only using either the dewalt or makita rotary polishers. my reviews are all through a rotaryman`s experience! =)
