HD SPEED 425 - ALL IN ONE POLISH AND WAX

3D SPEED is the most popular AIO product on the market world-wide.  The reason why is because it works so good and it’s so fast and easy to work with.  In fact, it’s the most versatile AIO on the market today.  3D SPEED can be used with any type of machine, any type of pad and is the most effective AIO on the market if you choose to work by hand.  

Just one of the reasons 3D SPEED is so popular is due to the proprietary abrasive technology created at 3D’s own manufacturing plant in Santa Clarita, California.  Unlike most brands, 3D makes their own abrasive technology in their privately owned manufacturing plant based upon their own research and development by their team of in-house chemists.  Everything from the raw materials to the finished product is controlled and manufactured by 3D. It doesn’t get any more real than this.

Beside incredible paint correction and polishing ability, 3D SPEED leaves behind a layer of synthetic paint sealant blended with Montan Wax.  This proprietary blend creates a sealant that offers long lasting shine with excellent resistance to high heat climates as well as resisting corrosion from exposure to chemical contamination.  This blended sealant also offers excellent gloss, shine, and slickness for reduced marring anytime you wash, dry or in any way wipe the finish.   

3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

What is it? - 3D SPEED is the world’s best AIO or All-in-One.  The term AIO is interchangeable with the term cleaner/wax, that is it’s like mixing a compound, a polish, and a wax into one bottle.

AIOs are one of the oldest categories of paint correction products in the car detailing industry.  These products were first introduced in the early years when automobiles were first introduced and replacing horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation.  This category of product enables a person to maintain their car’s finish quickly and easily by removing oxidation and restoring the full richness of color while leaving behind wax protection.

What does it do? - 3D SPEED does three paint correction processes in a single step,

1: Compound - 3D’s unique and proprietary abrasive technology removes defects like swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation WITHOUT inflicting micro-marring at the same time.

2: Polish – 3D’s own polishing agents pick up where the compound leaves off to create a clear, high gloss shine with maximum D.O.I or distinction of image.

3: Protection – 3D SPEED seals the surface to lock-in the achieved results while locking out all the corrosive substances found in the environment that act to attack and corrode the paint.

While it can be a tick difficult to wrap your brain around how a single product can remove defects while at the same time leaving protection behind – using this product just ONE time will make you a believer.

When do you use it? - Anytime you want to restore a better-than-new factory shine to your car’s paint.  And the good news is you can use this product on virtually any type of paint and also gelcoat, plastic surfaces, and even clear bras or PPF or Paint Protection Film as is known in the detailing industry.  You can even use this product on glass to remove light water spotting, road film and drizzle stains.  3D SPEED is as close to a miracle product you can find it’s that good.

Why use 3D SPEED over other options? - Why use 3D SPEED over competitor’s products?  This is an easy question to answer… because it works so well.  

Let’s take an in-depth look at why 3D SPEED is so good and why everyone should have this product in their detailing arsenal.

3D products use the BEST abrasive technology in the world

The most important factor when it comes to working on car paint is the abrasive technology. 

Why?  Because it is the abrasive technology that is touching the paint first. 

 It is the abrasive technology that must do the impossible.  It must abrade the surface to remove defects without at the same time leaving in their place its own defects.  Any abrasive technology that can do this is an engineering marvel.  The fact of the matter is most paint correction products cannot do this.  When it comes to abrasive technology, products either work or they don’t.  There are no gray areas.  Products do not kind of work.  

If the products you’re used to working with remove defects, but the results always look hazy in the sun – chances are good this is micro-marring caused by inferior abrasive technology.  When this happens the only way to undo the damage is to re-do the job only this time using great abrasive technology.   Same yourself time, energy, and frustration – use products from 3D, including 3D SPEED.

IMPORTANT: Always work on a clean, cool surface in the shade.  Car should already be washed and dried and if needed, use detailing clay first to remove any above surface bonded contaminants.

By Hand

Step 1: Using a clean, soft microfiber or foam applicator, apply a quarter size drop of 3D SPEED onto the applicator and then using an overlapping circular motion, spread the 3D SPEED out over a section of paint about the size of a microfiber towel or 20” x 20”.

Step 2: Next gently massage the 3D SPEED over the surface for about one minute continuing with the overlapping circular motion.

Step 3: Move onto a new section of paint and repeat the above process until an entire panel has been worked with 3D SPEED.

Step 4:  After the wax has dried to a haze, normally around 15 to 20 minutes, remove the wax beginning with the panel where you first applied the wax and then following your path-of-travel, gently and carefully remove the wax using a clean, soft microfiber towels. Turn the towel over or fold to a clean side often.  For best results, switch to a clean, dry microfiber towel often.

By orbital polisher

Step 1: Apply 4-5 nickel sized drops of 3D SPEED to the face of the pad.

Step 2: Using a slow to medium speed, spread 3D SPEED out over a section of paint no larger than 2’x2’.

Step 3: Turn polisher to high speed and begin working the 3D SPEED over the panel using an overlapping, crosshatch pattern for 2-4 minutes.

Step 4: Move onto a new section of paint and repeat the above process until an entire panel has been worked with 3D SPEED.

Step 5:  After the wax has dried to a haze, normally around 15 to 20 minutes, remove the wax beginning with the panel where you first applied the wax and then following your path-of-travel, gently and carefully remove the wax using a clean, soft microfiber towels.  Turn the towel over or fold to a clean side often.  For best results, switch to a clean, dry microfiber towel often.

By rotary polisher

Step 1: Apply a circle of 3D SPEED around the middle of the face of the pad.

Step 2: Using a slow to medium speed, spread 3D SPEED out over a section of paint no larger than 2’x2’.

Step 3: Using a low to medium speed, begin working the 3D SPEED over the panel using an overlapping, crosshatch pattern for 2-4 minutes.

Step 4: Move onto a new section of paint and repeat the above process until an entire panel has been worked with 3D SPEED.

Step 5:  After the wax has dried to a haze, normally around 15 to 20 minutes, remove the wax beginning with the panel where you first applied the wax and then following your path-of-travel, gently and carefully remove the wax using a clean, soft microfiber towels.  Turn the towel over or fold to a clean side often.  For best results, switch to a clean, dry microfiber towel often.

Professional Technique Tip

When using a one-step cleaner/wax also called an AIO or All-in-One, on neglected paint, you WORK the product like a compound.  The idea being to work the abrasives to correct the paint the same way you would work a compound or even a polish to remove swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation.

It’s the opposite of applying a non-cleaning wax, also called a finishing wax or show car wax, (this includes non-cleaning sealants).  With non-cleaning waxes and sealants – you do NOT work the product like a compound, polish or AIO, you simply want to spread the product out and massage it over the paint and cover 100% of each square inch of paint for maximum paint protection.
