2013 Silverado 2500 + HD Speed
First, I was about to toss speed in the trash---It was on bottom of my list in removing swirls.
This is one really massive truck. Needed a step ladder to reach the roof and the hood!
The objective was a simple and quick buff to enhance gloss, nothing else.
Did a test---McKee's 360. Disappointing. Fell flat on it's face. Removed swirls just fine---lack gloss. It left a dull finish.
Thought---tried speed. Whoa...paint just popped and swirls mostly removed as well.
Guess speed needs to go back to the top my list now!
I went fast---moderate arm movements, 4 section passes and moved on. This is the fastest polishing I've ever done to date. Completed the whole polishing step approx. 4 1/2 hours.

Rupes yellow pad and HD Speed.
Done...

Incredible work, Tom!
HD+ and Speed are always my go-to with GG cremes a close second.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

What's the difference between HD polish+ and Speed? And How do they compare to each other---if you don't mind me asking.

Plus (+) is a pure polish with a little more correction ability than Speed, which is an AIO. Speed IME is a blend of HD+ and HD Poxy.

Re: 2013 Silverado 2500 + HD Speed
Truck was simply too massive to consider multiple steps. And to add to that, they wanted ready for delivery the follow morning!
Started polishing at 5 pm --- done at 9:30.
I wasn't hustling. Took my time and simply enjoyed the process.
This was a nice zen-like detail.
