My (very late) HD Speed Review!

Ok I'll apologize for the lateness to those who were nice enough to provide this to me for a review. With the extremely hot weather this summer and also some other issues this Summer, this review is overdue. This isn't meant to be an excuse but reasons why. I've only written a couple of reviews so this won't be a long or detailed one. It was done a short while back but no time to do the write-up.



The subject is a 2011 Infiniti G37xS Sport sedan, Moonlight White. The paint has reddish and greenish flecks in it and is very pretty in the sunlight when clean.



I first pressure-washed the car with the MTM Hydro foamer with Megs Gold Class on the max-suds setting, using a MF wash mitt. Then I used Megs white consumer grade clay, along with 3D's Final Touch detailer to decon the surface. I also used the clay on the glass as well.



Then I taped off the 3M clear bra edges (I learned ONCE what happens when you don't do that LOL).



I have the Griot's Garage buffer with the Lake Country white pad (hydro-tech) with the HD Speed @ speed 4 on the GG. Moved over the car with a nice slow arm speed, using a 'checkerboard' pattern I think you would call it so no areas were missed. Removed with several MF bonnets @ Speed 3.



My daughter and I went over the car with several MF towels and a very light touch to remove any remaining dust, then I used pressurized air on the cracks and crevices to remove any possible dusting from the SPEED but I didn't notice very much at all. I just like to do that, and also on the interior prior to a interior detail.



I did the windows with 3D aerosol glass cleaner and several MF towels, tires with some 3D Magic Blue that I had. It didn't seem to last the drive to St. Louis for a dinner in downtown.





I do apologize for the lack of before pics but I had about 10 minutes to get the car wash going due to garage space. It wasn't very dirty at all since it is garaged most of the time. Moonlight white is very hard to show defects but it was pretty clean swirl-wise (not perfect mind you) but pretty good.



On to the pics:

Thank for the review very much! So what did you think?



Yea I guess I forgot that line eh? Well, very smooth and slick, I'm about 2 weeks out and after 2 rinseless washes it still feels pretty much the same. It is garaged so it does not get subjected to the elements except for very short periods of time. There was a little bit of light swirling but not a lot and it seems to be pretty much non-findable at this point with a nice bright LED flashlight. I'm guessing using the white pad helped with that. I have a 1997 Nissan Maxima that is pretty swirled up and I'm going to try the polish on it sometime in the next couple of weeks. Overall I like the HD Speed quite a bit!
