[Lambo1]

Looking for some input from hd adapt users.Thinking about purchasing.I do have hd cut and polish.Thanks in advance.

Best of the HD bunch as far as I am concerned.

[Lambo1]

Thanks! what is most used pad that you pair it with?

[tdekany]

Pink LC pad that I order from Detailed Image. What polisher are you using?

[Lambo1]

I have Makita,flex 3401,and 21 Rupes but mostly use cut/polish with Makita lc Orange for cut and white for hd polish

You will love Adapt with the pink foam. Also try the HD black Turkish wool pads

yah I did see those on their site.Are you finishing down ok with just adapt?

[tdekany]

Never, I always use a finishing polish. I want the most gloss possible

I have had Adapt for a while and I have trouble with my technique.

tdekany: What's the best way to use Adapt with those wool pads? Do you prime them or just use a few small dots?

[Lambo1]

Ok didn't think so,I seen in another forum a guy said was able to 1 step with it.

Well you can, but I don't stop there - I want a great finish, not a good enough finish.

[Lambo1]

Agreed!

HD Adapt is fantastic... it can certainly be used as a one-step in many cases.

We use it often, but this video was taken on my mother-in-law's Nissan Murano. HD Adapt, Rupes LHR21 on Speed 4, Orange LC Foam. Above average defect removal with no detectable marring/haze which gets my stamp of approval for a successful one step correction.

Another example on this ZL1 with Adapt on White LC Foam.

We also have Cut & Polish, yet we use Adapt way more often than either of those two for some reason.

What's the work time like for HD adapt ? I have it and used it a couple of times with a GG6 DA and it seems to dry on me after the second section pass (after initial priming, 3-4 dots and 18x18 section, first couple of passes with downward pressure, BnS cutting pad). It doesn't dust in the subsequent passes but no oily/smeary/pad pattern is left and feels like I am doing section passes over dry surface (correction isn't at par with what I get from sonax 4/6 (or even menz PF2500) same technique.
