    HD Speed

    What color of cyclo pads should I use with HD Speed? Also, does HD Speed remove clear coat or is it a cleaner?

    Thanks!

    This goes for all AIO:
    The pad you choose is dependent on the paint. You want a pad that cuts the most but also finishes haze free. So you likely won't be able to get 95%+ or even 85%+ correction because you want a pad that also finishes without marring.

    HD Speed has abrasives so it does remove clear coat.

    From your edit question:
    I would tape up anything that needs to be protected, and in regards to rubber trim that could be damaged whether or not the product stains it so I always tape it up. I haven't had a chance to use my bottle of Speed yet though so I can't say if it does or does not stain plastic.

    I have a 09 Silverado, hard paint. Just not sure on the pad selection. Thanks for your help.

    On VW hard clear I use Speed with Buff & Shine orange lite cutting pads and get very good correction and a great finish ready for a coat of Poxy to add a little extra protection.

    I used HD speed for the first time yesterday. I used it on my brother-in-law's car. I didn't think I was going to like it.... LOVE IT!!!

    HD Speed is a wonderful AIO. Just recently did a black Honda Pilot and it turned out great
