Got a chance to finally mess with HD Polish courtesy of David F. and 3D Products review program.  A quick description:

<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">HD Polish has been scientifically designed to produce a dust free, swirl free, deep, high gloss paint finish.



<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">Using <span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">NANO<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);"> Technology and super micro abrasives H Polish is the most effective way to remove light to moderate paint defects for the highest shine possible.



<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">Product works best when applied in a shaded area but is sun friendly when used correctly.



<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">This product is Body Shop Safe, containing no silicone or fillers. Safe for use on fresh paint and soft clears.



<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">Amazing hologram and marring free results on all paint colors including jet-black/dark colored paints.



<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">Easy on and easy off.


 


 


 


<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">I'm trying it out on my 2007 Dodge Ram that is in the process of getting prepped for winter.  I will be doing a full correction on the entire vehicle, but for the purposes of evaluating this product I tested it on one of my doors without any compounding so I could see how much defect it would remove on its own.  Application was done using a 5.5" flat white Lake Country foam pad on a Rupes 21.


 


<span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(252,253,253);">The weather outside today isn't being cooperative to get good defect shots, so I'm making due with my garage lighting.  Fortunately the paint is in pretty good shape but has a fair amount of light swirls and scratches that you can find if you're looking for them.

I had a hard time capturing the defects in pictures....they were much easier to see in person.  I'd have to say overall it's quite a nice product.  It easily took care of all of the light defects with little effort and left the paint with a nice gloss and smooth as a baby's butt.  The only defects left were a couple of deeper ones that I would have no expectations of this product or any other in it's class to take care of.  I'll have more pictures in a full write up of the detail when I'm done and the weather is nicer.


 


Pros:  


 


Bottle is just fine.  Sharp packaging with a good spout (easy to open/close with one hand)


No noticeable chemical smell


Easily took care of the defects that I would expect it to


No dusting


Very little effort in removal


Leaves a nice glossy finish


 


 


Cons:


 


None that I can think of really.  It worked as expected and I would have no trouble reaching for this in the future for light defect removal and/or cleaning up after compounding.

Nice review.  


 


Your '07 model seems to have less orange peel than my '03... that's certainly nice!
 
Great job on the review! Looks like HD Polish did the trick. I really hope you continue to use and recommend it when possible. It's something everyone shop have in their arsenal and I truly feel is the benchmark for finishing polishes.

I use HD polish because not only is it low dust, but it leaves paint ready for wax without oils left behind.

Something that is very helpful when doing Opti-Coat after. HD Polish is my go to final polish on any solid color (and is great on any color) since the clarity is so good. 
 
Used it a while back (1-yr maybe?). Have most of the 16oz bottle leftover.


 


I have used Squeaky Clean and Detailers Pro prep polish just prior to applying various lsp's like waxes, sealants and coatings without having to do any further wipe-downs. Thus saving me time.


 


Question.


 


Would like to know if HD Polish is a true final last polish? Polish, wipe off, apply lsp?

When applying a standard LSP--sealant or wax-- as opposed to a coating I've had no bonding issues after using HD Polish with no IPA wipe down.

Absolutely! HD Polish is one of the best finishing polishes on the market. Super light remnants in regards to removal for coatings. Very user friendly too.

This past week, I got to try HD Polish after Adapt. Both great products.

Thanks fdresq4! 
 
How does HD Polish compare with Mennzerna P085RD, which used to reign as the king of killer gloss ( a jeweling polish)?


 


Would HD or 85RD produce a higher gloss? 
 
HD is the new standard in both compounds and polishes. I tossed Po85rd out the minute I finished using HD polish for the first time.
 
I have a bottle of HD Polish I purchased last summer. Used a couple of times and store away indoor in my basement with other polishes. This summer I took it out and it no longer gives a pleasant scent. Gave a good shake and still does correction but the smell really bothers me. 


 


Has my bottle of HD Polish gone bad?
 
Given the same LC pad - How does this polish compare to Meg's 205 in terms of defect removal?  


 


Is it as user friendly?  205 is just a joy to use for me with my Griots DA.
 
I've never really tried to do actual correction with either HD Polish or M205; I use them strictly as Finishing Polishes.


 


But I find the HD *infinitely* more user-friendly than M205.  The Trade Secret Oils in M205 bug me so much that my gallon of it just sits here unused.

I have used 205 for light correction of light defects with a white PC pad and it does work relatively well.  I've seen you mention 205  oils in other posts but I have never had issues with 205 myself. 


 


I guess I know what my next purchase will be. I'll need to give it a try.

Certain scents can loose their potency. When this happens you can unfortunatly be left with a semi-foul smell This shouldn't affect your results one bit.
