HD Speed Removal...

Was the panel clayed?

Just a note, I have used Speed for years now and have never clayed before using it.

Claying prior to using HD Speed should have no influence on the effect of removing Speed.

And for the OP, I apply Speed and let it cure and then remove it. This also lets the Poxy part of Speed last longer. It's one of the easiest products I have ever used to remove along with Poxy. Sounds to me like one other poster said, you used too much. I don't prime my pads with Speed or any HD polish.

What he said. Clayed, not clayed, doesn't matter in the least.

The few times I used it, it wiped off with ease.

I use speed Just about every day, great product like everyone said use sparingly,wipes right off very little dusting.

I decided to give HD Speed another try this morning before the sun came up over the trees. Humidity on the high side. Used a new LC white pad again and only put 4 dime size spots on the pad to start and worked a 2x2 area of the hood. Used 3 spots on the pad for every section there after.
Finished up the hood and let it sit for about 40 mins. Apparently once again I used to much product as it was even harder to remove than yesterdays wiping it right off after finishing the door panel. It was so bad I ended up having to remove it with some Zaino AIO I've been trying to use up. Luckily this removed it with ease.
I guess I'm never going to be a fan of this product. I've got plenty others that remove with ease. Just don't like the idea of using a polishing pad with so little product on it then.

Not only does using too much product make it hard to remove, it doesn't work as well either.

Well at least I'm not the only one having an issue with it's removal. Topping AIO’s with Sealant - Basic test

I wish I read this before ordering.

The only reason speed would be hard to remove would be using too much product, point blank period.

Foam pads need no priming, regardless of product. You should only be priming MF or wool pads. How many pads did you use over the whole car?


Also, there's no reason to let it sit for almost an hour prior to removing. You don't gain anything from it. I'd be willing to bet that amount of time plus the humidity made it harder to take off.

I agree that's why I removed it right away yesterday. And I thought by only using 4 dime sized spots that this would be using less product. Also not doing the whole car as I said just testing doing one door panel yesterday and the hood today.
But then you read David Fermani here HD Poxy and HD Speed

All well and good, and if that's his experience then it is what it is. You say you removed it right away, but your posts say you let it sit for 40min.

However, I truly believe letting it haze is unnecessary. If I'm not mistaken, HD speed's protection comes primarily from Montan wax, not a synthetic polymer sealant. Once it's on, it's on. I doubt you'd see any difference at all between a panel that's removed immediately, and one that's left to haze.

The only product I really let haze up for that amount of time anymore is power lock. That is one product that actually needs it.
