    Top HD Speed with...

    If you were to get one product to top HD Speed either HD Poxy or Carpro Reload what would you get?

    I've only used Poxy and have had good results. Can't speek for Reload. I've also topped it with Megs 365 and really liked that combo!

    Re: Top HD Speed with...

    I'm running a comparison test right now and HD Poxy is one of the candidates. I'm really disappointed in how it has held up for only two weeks after application... The beading isn't tight, and the slickness is seemingly non-existent.

    Here's a link to the thread if you wanted to look: 6 LSP's go head to head!

    I've only heard good things about Reload, so I would say give that a shot if that's the only other product you're considering.

    I tend to use products from the same line, due to my belief of product synergy.

    I agree. However, Reload is a much better product IMO.

    Speed had Poxy in it so it's synergistic system.

    I personally don't feel that water beading and slickness are necessarily an indicator of a product working but that being said I saw easily three months of "beading" down here in Florida on the Red non garaged Camaro I did with Speed/Poxy combo and that was with no add on detailing sprays etc..

    MFG Statement, note the wax part.

    Test Reload in an inconspicuous area before applying to the whole car. In case of uneven areas, wipe off Reload with isopropyl alcohol. Paint should be clean and free of solvents or wax before applying Reload. Reload can be applied on top of CQuartz.

    That's a disclaimer I tend to put up when reviewing products, but the truth is that perception is what creates value in a product. Aside from beading and slickness, what other short term indicators do we have that protection is actually on paint?

    I should also note, that the beading was present, but it wasn't nearly as "tight" as the other products I am testing. They seemed more like free forming amoebas. So, take it for what you feel it's worth, but for me beading and slickness is how I have become molded to understanding if a product is still offering protection. Plus, even if the product is still protecting as intended, I don't see any harm in layering again based upon not seeing tight beads or feeling slickness.

    Re: Top HD Speed with...

    I'm not being a smart a$$ by asking this question, I am genuinely curious. Why use a product like Speed if its going to be topped? Why not just use a dedicated polish and then apply the LSP? I currently use HD and Meguires abrasives, and I usually apply Colli 915 or 845 as my LSP. Is there an advantage to using Speed instead of Polish then topping with one of the Collinites?

    The OP might not have a polish on hand that will correct as well or as fast as 3D HD Speed, and wants to enhance the end results of an AIO product.
