    This stuff rocks. Not just for painted surfaces; also looks great on
    glass, mouldings, and plastics. It deepens everything. Very easy and fast.
    It makes the rest of the car look as good (maybe better?) as the refinished
    panels. And quick to do!

    Replaced trunk, rear bumper cover, and tail lamps. Blend, blend, yada, yada…

    Wow

    Nice Job Han,looks like great product. Does it bead water and
    last for at least 2 months?
    I love 303 protectant for interior/engine bay. I’d like to give these
    HD stuff a try, but I’ve never heard of them. Autogeek doesn’t
    carry them.

    So, where to get some? :woohoo:

    No clue on durability. But it is a sealant so it should be fine for
    a few months if washed properly. It looks great and very easy to use.
    Being able to apply it everywhere makes it extremely efficient. Get this.

    HD TOTAL, for what it is, works great too. Not as strong as Megs Super Degreaser
    but it’s much safer and less toxic. It can also be used everywhere. I like it
    for interiors mostly. The scent is very nice, which is actually important.

    HD PROTECT is a bit too glossy and i prefer a lower sheen so mine is diluted
    1:1 with water. You can see the difference of the sheen in the E500 and Honda
    interior.

    HD FREE is OK for just dusty cars. Spray and wipe in one direction only.
    No scrubbing! Haven’t used this much at all.

    HD UNO…haven’t used this much either. Tried it by hand with their sponge
    for a few plastic pieces. It’s OK…

    All of these products are good; especially the sealant. And the smells is
    very pleasant. The car will look and smell better than what my customers
    are used too.

    ahh the days of collision repair have far changed… it used to be dust included and giving away a towel to the customer to wipe the seat with was like spoiling them. lol na seriously i wish i could detail that well. but that work looks like it takes hours to complete. do u use an extractor or steam cleaner for the interiors? if so how would u rate them

    Hey mo,

    Carpets are the only thing i don’t do. I could, but it stays damp too long.
    Quite frankly, i’m kinda bored with the paint body thing. And over the last
    year or two, i’ve been spending more time researching detailing products
    and techniques and it’s paying off. It’s also fun! And it sure leaves a
    better impression. The response has been very good.

    Nice!

    Are you adjusting the panel gaps at a later date?

    :rofl Just kidding! I’m sure it lines up fine, it’s just the pictures making it look otherwise.

    Usually. Had some issues with the pockets/panels behind the lamps;
    Only comes with the quarter panel. Not quite a pretty repair inside.
    And yes, the gaps are bit better; adjusted trunk stops, hinges and
    latch. Not quite perfect but neither am i. 🙂

    At least it’s shiny! 😉
