HD Metal Review

[Meticulous]

Test subject: Brand new Ford Racing Touring Axle Backs for 2010 GT500


`


Machine: PC


Pads: LC CCS White Polish 4 inch


Towels: Costco Yellow


`


Impressions of HD Metal: The consistency was very liquidy, not like your typical metal paste polish and I did shake the bottle very well. Very little goes a long way, felt more like a chemical polish cleaner then an abrasive metal polish. Now I must note when my HD products were delivered they froze outside on my door step, so I am not sure if this had any affect on the products performance. I did however immediately bring them inside and warm them up and shake very well.


`


As they arrived:





`


50/50

All done:

`


On a whim I tried HD Adapt on the with a LC Hydro Tech Blue Cutting pad, look at the difference!


`








`


Now I did not try the HD Metal with a cutting pad, only a polishing pad. Overall I thought HD Metal did a great job, but Adapt took it to another level.

Thank you for adding your thoughts on this and taking the time to document with the pictures!

Very curious about this new product and wanting to see if Mr. Fermani or other`s who have used the product can add some comments regarding the viscosity of the product since yours unfortunately froze.


`


Looks like it cleaned very well... but your method with Adapt is pretty darn appreciable also, if not more so.


`


BTW- Nice mufflers, complete with hangers nonetheless! `Do you know who the contractee is that produces these for ford?

Borla makes them for Ford Racing.

Looks incredible! Great job! You`re gonna have the shiniest exhaust on the road come spring time. HD Metal has a very thin consistency. Almost water like, but has a pretty long work time. From these results it doesn`t look like the low temps affected anything.`

Adapt looks like it did a great job and I`m not surprised. I use regular car polishes for all of my metal polishing and they do a great job.

I am going to revisit this project and wet sand the SS mufflers and pipes with 500,1000,1500 and 2000 paper ande then hit them with Adapt and Metal.

Polishing exhaust tips are a pain! I have them on the wife`s car, daughters` and mine and I have tried a bunch of polishes in the past. But, I was really impressed with the HD Metal; I agree that it`s like more of a chemical cleaner - kinda like KAIO - and it sure works. I`m using up my old products like White Diamond, Mother`s, and whatever else is on the shelf. It`s good to have 1 product that works great. I guess I`m the opposite of accumulating, I am always looking to keep products limited to 1-2 per specific use.
