Re: Harbor Freight DA 6" Polisher
I think you guys have talked me into getting the PC. My truck is brand new with light swirls. Made the mistake and bought Black again! Lol I bought some HD Speed off here to try after reading all the good reviews for it being an All in one. Hoping to get good results with it once I get my polisher.

Try the Speed with an orange LC or B&S pad, I've had excellent results with that combination, 5-6 passes. It finishes down really well. If that doesn't get it you can always bump up to a more aggressive pad or use HD Adapt with and orange pad if you ever do a two step. My go to products these days are Adapt, Speed and finish it with Poxy. The key thing to remember with all HD products is a little goes along way. Better to be conservative.

Re: Harbor Freight DA 6" Polisher
Thanks man I appreciate the info! If I need to use an orange pad is a follow up with maybe a white or gray pad necessary with the same product?

Re: Harbor Freight DA 6" Polisher
PS I use about 4 orange pads per detail job. You'll need at least 4 to do your truck. Their are a number of reasons for this. The pad life is prolonged if you swap it out regularly. Heat kills pads and dries out products. Also the effectiveness of the pad diminishes as it loads up with product and embedded dirt from the paint doesn't help either. So investing in the pads upfront will save you money in the long run.

Re: Harbor Freight DA 6" Polisher
Lane from Fargo, LOL, I'm actually watching Fargo on cable right now.
No I do not work for 3D/HD
And for the record, I have never received any free products from 3D / HD. I have purchased every one I have from Autogeek.
I've used and currently own numerous other product lines Menzerna, Wolfgang, Blackfire, Sonax, Sonus, Pinnacle Black Label the regular Pinnacle line, Chemical Guys, Duragloss, DoDo Juice to mention just a few.
I like the over all value of 3D /HD polishes.

I agree, they have some great products and the results you've been able to achieve with them are exceptional. There must be something better on TV then Fargo... that is actually filmed in Minnesota. I've never watched it but heard from others around here that it is so far from reality that they get embarrassed when discussing it with people from outside our area.

They couldn't even film the movie in ND, what a joke that is.
Yeah, it's definitely over done.
Oh, and it's 80 and sunny in Tampa right now.

Beautiful.
Question: Those swirls don't look too bad; why not use a white pad/polishing pad with Adapt? I'm curious if you tried that and then settled on the orange pad or if Adapt tends to work better with a firmer pad.
