Perhaps this is why my experience with Speed differs from Mark`s -- I used Speed on hard VW clear with an orange B&S pad -- the finish came out LSP ready -- did not wipe off the Speed panel by panel, but left it on until all polishing was completed (probably 3-4 hours) then buffed it off and applied Poxy the next morning. Poxy lasted just a little over 4 months (and this is before Express was available so it had only an occasional boost with Aquawax.)

I`d like to chime in on this too. I just used speed for the first time on a 2014 Infiniti Q50. Customer wanted an AIO as it was a leased car, and I was very worried about it because it had scratch shield paint. Some of the guys on one of the facebook groups suggested speed with a green b&s pad topped with poxy. This combo KILLED it!!! The car came out beautiful with just 2 section passes and the customer loved it. I let the poxy set up for an hour before I wiped off the excess.

Great input.. Poxy should arrive tomorrow. As soon as I use up my Poorboys AIO I`m giving Speed a try.

For family and friends the AIOs make sense. I save the extra steps for my cars.

I have topped speed with a bunch of different products will no problems. I have also topped speed with Nitro Seal it lasted months a the look was awesome. I also like speed topped with prima HydroMaxx or Hydro seal.

One of these days I`ll need some more (functionally abrasive) AIO, and I`ve been thinking about Speed.

Q: has anybody tried topping it with FK1000P? Gotta work with that for me to consider it and I`m not gonna be a Guinea pig.

Anybody tried topping Speed with OCW ? Sounds like a great product for my one step AIO`s. Just looking for something to add a little more durability without adding much extra work. OCW would fit the bill perfectly if it plays well with Speed.

I just saw someone on AGO mention they topped speed with Nitro Seal for something with longer durability.

What about HD Express--great look really easy to apply.
