As companies continue to improve and develop new ways to make paint correction easier, one-step corrections have certainly benefited from new technology. A product that can remove heavy imperfections and\/or can finish down like a polish is something many of us find extremely useful. The ability to give a better one-step while increasing efficiency is key for those projects that require such an approach. A client of mine had a 1964 Porsche 356 that had been recently repainted and wanted it polished to improve the condition of the finish. Given the budget for polishing, a one-step was in order for this particular project. It was a great opportunity to give 3D ONE<\/a> a try on this vintage Porsche.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3D ONE<\/a> Hybrid Compound & Polish is designed as a water-based hybrid product that can be used as a compound or a polish depending on the type of pad or pads being used. As a compound, 3D ONE<\/a> utilizes Nano Ceramic Alumina Abrasives to cut while minimizing hazing. The product is designed to work with both DA and Rotary polishers. In this instance, I used it with a Rupes Mark 2 LHR15 ES. Being a hybrid product that can do the work of both a compound and polish, I paired it with a medium foam pad for a one-step correction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the directions, 3D recommends to use 4 to 5 drops when either cutting or polishing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I used a speed of 4.5 with medium pressure and as the directions suggest, I worked an area of 2×2 while using slow overlapping motions. The first thing I noticed is that there is plenty of working time with 3D ONE.<\/a> I worked the area for approximately a minute before stopping and checking the results. As pictured below, you can see how much product is still visible after 1 minute of working the product.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once I did several passes with 3D ONE,<\/a> working a 2×2 section and buffing with a clean microfiber towel, the results were impressive given how fast it worked to get those results using one pad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Porsche had some areas that had more than minor swirls and using the same approach, I worked a 2×2 area using medium pressure and slow overlapping motions. It worked extremely well at removing some pretty gnarly stuff. Again, working the section for about 1 minute with slow movements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The correction can certainly be improved by doing more passes or changing to a wool pad or cutting pad, then following up with a polishing pad using 3D ONE.<\/a> These results are a demonstration of how 3D ONE<\/a> can work with a fast one-step approach. For a 2 step approach with protection, 3D ONE can be used with a wool or cutting pad for removing heavy swirls and scratches then following up with a polishing pad a 3D HD SPEED<\/a> to remove haze, add gloss and protection. 3D ONE comes in the following sizes: 8 oz., 16 oz., 32 oz. and 128 oz.<\/p>\n

3D ONE works best in shaded areas but can also work in areas where the sun is unavoidable. With a long working time and its ability to remove imperfections quickly, I found the product to be extremely useful on this particular project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
