Ok, here's my review! Keep in mind that this is my first time ever using a machine to polish.
First the product came nicely packaged! (I like the HDTape, lol)
Pics of what's inside (I ordered some extra stuff!)
My test area was the hood of my 1993 Honda Civic Si. Now the paint isn't horrible, but the car is 16 almost 17 years old. Neither of the previous owners probably cared extremely well for it.
First pic is of the hood before washing
You can see some of the scratches (RIDS, I think they're called)
Pic of the clay after 1/2 the hood...not too bad I don't think!
Pic of HD Uno and Unopad
Here's some before and after pics. As you can see, I don't have adequate lighting, but I'm currently doing a rear brake job on the car, so I couldn't move it out tonight.
50/50 (Left of the tape HD Uno, Right of the tape washed & clayed only)
These before and after shots aren't great, but the best way to tell is to look at the difference in the detail of the worklight to see what the polishing did.

So to reiterate...
I washed the hood with dish soap
Dryed it with a WW
Clayed using clay magic and Meguiars QD as lube
Wiped down with MF
HD Uno w/ Unopad on PCXP
Overall, my first machine polishing experience was good! I learned how pressure can affect different things, and that I need a lot more practice! :buffing:
I still have the edges of the hood to do by hand, but I can't wait to get this thing out in the sun to fully see the difference!
Oh and next time I'm gonna try to remember to keep the camera on the same setting so there isn't as much discrepancy in the pics!
Thanks!
P.S. David you have a PM
