    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 15mk II
    Rupes yellow pad and HD Speed.

    Done...

    Incredible work, Tom!

    HD+ and Speed are always my go-to with GG cremes a close second.

    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.

    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.
