This is a professional grade panel wipe
Generically these types of products are called panel wipes. As the name implies, you use these types of product to wipe down a panel. The idea being to chemically dissolve and remove any polishing oils or other substances left on the surface of car paint typically after any paint correction steps that have been performed.
Normal steps for a full exterior detail
When it comes to applying a conventional car wax or synthetic sealant, the normal steps include,
- Wash and dry the car.
- Clay the paint if there are any above surface bonded contamination detected via the Baggie Test.
- Compound and polish the paint to remove any below surface defects like swirls and scratches.
- Apply a car wax or synthetic paint coating.
After step 3, you can simply move onto the final step, which is applying a car wax or synthetic paint sealant without doing anything else to the paint. Just apply the wax or sealant, wait for it to dry to a haze, wipe off the dried product and you’re done.
With ceramic paint coatings – there’s an extra step
With a ceramic paint coating there is an EXTRA STEP required before installing the coating and this is the most important step because the product you use must be strong enough to remove any residual polishing oils or other substances but safe enough to prevent dulling or marring the paint.
The normal steps to install a ceramic coating include,
- Wash and dry the car.
- Clay the paint if there are any above surface bonded contamination detected via the Baggie Test.
- Compound and polish the paint to remove any below surface defects like swirls and scratches.
- Use a panel wipe to chemically strip each body panel to prep it for the coating.
- Install the ceramic coating section by section, panel by panel.
* Step 4 is the extra step. Herein lies the problem.
Clearcoat paints are scratch-sensitive - Generally speaking, modern clearcoat paints tend to be harder than traditional single stage paints like lacquers and enamels used before 1980. While most clearcoat paints are harder than old school paints, they still scratch very easy. And because the clearcoat is like a WINDOW to the color coat, (called the basecoat), any swirls, scratches, scuffs, or towel marring – shows up like a sore thumb. This is because when you scratch something clear, the scratch is opaque or whitish in color and any medium to dark colored basecoats will reflect these whitish scratches back to our eyes making them very easy to see.
Most solvents are not good lubricants - The historic problem with most panel wipe or paint surface prep sprays, are the solvents used to do the actual work of dissolving polishing oils and other foreign substances are NOT good lubricants.
Now let me tie this together - If you take a conventional panel wipe, (a product that’s not a good lubricant), and wipe down a scratch-sensitive clearcoat, it’s really easy and also very common for this process to put towel marring back into the paint you just invested hours into buffing to perfect. In case you don’t know, towel marring is the fluffy way to describe light towel scratches.
See the problem? You need to use a panel wipe to prep the paint for the coating but using the panel wipe risks putting scratches back into the paint.
So, after you've invested hours into doing all the prep work, this includes washing, drying, claying, compounding, and polishing, the paint is now PERFECT – and the next step is to take a panel wipe and scratch the paint. Not good.
Here’s the good news… 3D isn’t no conventional car wax company and 3D WIPE isn’t any old conventional panel wipe. It’s better because 3D’s chemists are the best in the industry.
3D WIPE is a pro-grade product that is formulated to strip the paint without marring the paint at the same time. 3D Wipe is a water-based panel wipe that uses highly refined and filtered water as a base. We use a reverse osmosis process to remove all the total dissolved solids out of the water. Why? Because the water is the foundation for the formula. For cleaning ability, 3D WIPE uses a proprietary blend of surfactants.
3D WIPE is both safe and effective. It’s strong enough to remove any oils or other substances that would interfere with the proper bonding of the 3D Ceramic Coatingto the paint but offers more than enough lubrication to prevent accidental towel marring. Plus – unlike most panel wipes, it’s safe for you, your skin and it smells great too.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.
What is it? - This is a panel wipe, which is a product used to chemically strip a paint surface before installing a ceramic paint coating.
What does it do? - After compounding and polishing paint, or any other surface prep process but before installing the coating.
When do you use it? - After compounding and polishing paint, or any other surface prep process but before installing the coating.
Why use 3D Wipe over other options? - To make sure the paint surface is surgically clean so the coating can make a proper bond for best longevity and performance.
- Water-based solvent safely removes residual polishing oils.
- High lubricity formula helps to prevent accident towel marring.
- Perfectly preps paint for the proper bonding for 3D Ceramic Coating.

Unit price per- Premium 9H Ceramic Coating
- Superior gloss, slickness, and durability
- Maximum longevity - up to 2 years protection
- Repels and beads away dirt, water, road film, and more
Besides long-lasting protection and incredible water beading is the incredible GLOSS the 3D Ceramic Coating creates on your car’s finish! The gloss is so intense, a better word to describe it is a glassy look. 3D’s Ceramic Coating is a professional grade coating that’s easy enough to apply that anyone can do it even if it’s their very first time using a ceramic coating. And “yes” the protection and longevity far exceeds that of car waxes and synthetic paint sealants. And “yes”, the water beading is insane! But it’s the glass-like appearance that will impress you and your friends the most.
Besides the glassy look, the long-lasting protection and incredible water beading, here are some other great features,
Your car will stay cleaner longer - Because of the super hydrophobic surface 3D Ceramic Coating creates, dirt, dust, pollen, road grime, industrial fallout and airborne pollution are a lot less likely to stick or bond to the paint surface.
Self-cleaning effect - The super hydrophobic surface beads water so well, that anytime it rains the rainwater will bead-up and then run of your car flushing and rinsing away any dirt or dust accumulation. It’s like Mother Nature washes your car for you!
Faster, safer washing and faster and easier drying - The high surface tension created by 3D Ceramic Coating makes water want to physically get away from the finish. This makes future washing faster and also safer as the 9h Mohs Hardness helps to resist marring during the washing and drying process. And because the surface of your car’s paint will have such a high surface tension finish – water will rather absorb into your favorite drying towel instead of remaining on the paint.
Forced Air Drying - The safest way to dry any vehicle after the 3D Ceramic Coating is installed, is to use a cordless leaf blower. For example, the cordless EGO 650CFM Leaf Blower offers 180 mile per hour wind speeds of clean, filtered air. This leaf blower or any quality air blower will effortlessly blast any standing water off your car’s finish. This is one of the really cool features about the 3D Ceramic Coating because anytime you can avoid touching the finish you reduce the risk of introducing any accidental marring, swirls, or scratches.
Intense Glassy Deep Wet Shine! - While all of the above features are great in and of themselves, the feature you’re going to love the most is the liquid glassy look the coating creates on your vehicles paint. Your car’s paint will literally look like it just rolled out of the paint booth with that wet-paint-look that comes from a professional custom paint job.
What is it? - 3D Paint Coating is specialty polymer resin and a true ceramic coating.
What does it do? - Seals your car's paint using a liquid polymer which cures to a flexible solid.
When do you use it? - 3D Ceramic Coating is for paint in new or excellent condition or after neglected paint has been properly cleaned, clayed and any paint correction steps are performed. 3D Ceramic Coating must be applied to paint in perfect condition for maximum product performance.
Why use 3D Ceramic Coating over other options?
The 3D Ceramic Coating is the real-deal. It’s based on SiO2, which stands for Silicon Dioxide, but it is NOT a SiO2 coating. SiO2 is more of the carrying-agent for the final product after it’s super-heated and mixed with Titanium Dioxide or TiO2. The resulting combination creates a true ceramic coating, which dries completely hard after full cure.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.
- True ceramic coating with true 9h hardness
- Has a melting point of 4,950 degrees Fahrenheit (2,730 degrees Celsius) and the resulting finish is a 9 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.
- Superior gloss that holds up over time much better than competitors.
- Superior paint adhesion, which maximizes coating longevity.
- 3D Ceramic Coating creates an incredibly high contact angle, which creates an insane super-water-beading-hydrophobic-surface, where the water beads are tight, tall, and small.
- Creates a self-cleaning effect any time it rains for a cleaner car.
- Makes future washing and drying faster, safer, and easier
- Up to 2 year protection - depending on how the car is cared for.
- Green technology, Earth friendly – Prop 65 and V.O.C. compliant.

- For best results, apply with a Dual Action or Random Orbital Polisher
A Hybrid Cutting Compound & Finishing Polish
Paint correction is one of the least desirable steps when it comes to doing a full exterior detail job. The reason why is because most compounds and polishes are a pain to work with. This includes how the feel while buffing, they dry up and start creating dust, if you work them too long, they become sticky like glue and then wipe of is both frustrating, difficult, time consuming and tiring. Plus, you need more towels to do the job safely.
3D ONE is like no other compound or polish you’ve ever used, and you’ll find this out the first time you use it. 3D ONE cuts like a compound and finishes out like a fine cut polish. Other companies have tried to create a product like 3D ONE in the past, but no one even comes close to 3D ONE. To change the cut simply change the pad or tool. That’s right, change the tool. For super aggressive cut, use 3D ONE with a rotary polisher and a traditional 4-ply, twisted wool cutting pad. For less cut, use any orbital polisher with either a fiber pad or a foam cutting pad. For polishing and show car finishing work, switch to your favorite orbital polisher and a soft foam polishing of even softer foam finishing pad.
Unlike any other compound or polish you’ve ever used, to experience the forever buffing cycle is incredible. This product will simply NOT dry-up on you. As long as you buff the product will stay wet on the surface and continue to cut or polish. Everyone I’ve ever met hates it when any product becomes dusty while they buff or when it’s time to wipe-off the residue. Never happens. Never.
The wipe-off is smooth and fluid. The product lubricates the surface as you wipe so not only is wiping off easy there’s virtually zero risk for wiping induced towel marring. Unheard of when it comes to compounds and polishes.
While it’s always a good best practice to wipe off any paint care products during the job, one time I was compounding a Corvette and an emergency came up. I had to leave the shop. I dreaded coming in the next day. I fully expected the 3D ONE residue covering the entire car to wipe-off like concrete. To my complete and joyful surprise, it wiped off just as easy as if I had just finished buffing. In fact, it may have wiped off easier! The point being – this product wipes off easy and this simply is not the case with most products on the market today. And when a product is difficult to wipe off this not only increases the risk for put wiping scratches back into the paint (you just invested hours buffing to perfection), but it will also tire you out and take all the fun out your work.
Get a bottle – see for yourself what you read above is true and accurate. 3D ONE will become you new go-to favorite compound/polish.
What is it? - Combination 2-in-1 product – it is a compound/polish. Cuts like a compound and finishes like a polish.
Uses 3D’s proprietary alpha ceramic alumina abrasive technology. Alumina Oxide is a conductor of heat. Ceramic is an insulator of heat. By combining to create a hybrid, the ceramic counters the heat issue created from the alumina oxide to reduce and help eliminate heat issues like burn-through from excess surface temperatures.
No filler formula – The results you see are true and accurate – no fillers, hiding or masking.
What does it do? - Removes below surface paint defects like swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation. Can be used with aggressive pads and powerful tools for removing deep and/or serious paint defects or can be used with soft foam pads and free spinning orbital polishers to finish out for show car results.
When do you use it? - Anytime you want to remove below surface defects that are in your car’s paint and then create a super high gloss finish perfect for sealing with a wax, synthetic paint sealant or a ceramic paint coatings.
Why use 3D ONE over other options? - Freaking amazing abrasive technology. Before I tell you about the product itself, first you need to know there’s something that’s a BIG DEAL about 3D that separates 3D from all the rest of the car care companies and that is – 3D makes their own abrasive technology from scratch!
Unlike most other companies that much cross their fingers and hope they are buying the best abrasive technology, or even good abrasive technology, 3D makes it themselves. And they can do this because they have great chemists. What’s inside the bottle starts with a great team of chemists and an owner that believes in them. Plus – the owner is also the head chemist. This is why at a minimum you own it to yourself to at least try 3D ONE. It’s your money, but it’s also you time, and no one wants to buff out a car only to find out the results don’t look good and now you have to do it a second time. This won’t happen with 3D products and also 3D’s Customer Care Team. We’re here to help you from start to finish.
Now that you know 3D makes their own abrasive technology, (for all their compounds, polishes, and all-in-ones, for both their automotive line and their marine line), now let me tell you about the 3D ONE itself.
Other companies have tried hard to create a hybrid compound/polish type product with little success. These other attempts either don’t offer the cut necessary to be considered a true compound for heavy duty work or they cut great but don’t finish out well and often times this shows up as micro-marring left in the finish.
3D ONE is the first product that can do both, cut and finish and most important – this hybrid compound/polish works and delivers consistent results over a wide-spectrum or car paints. When it comes to paint correction, the unknown variable between different cars is paint hardness. Some cars can have very hard paint while other cars can have very soft paint and some cars of course are right in the middle, the sweet spot.
3D ONE works on all paint types, hard, medium, and soft. And you can control the level of cut or finish by simply changing the type of pad or the type of pad together with the type of tool. With 3D ONE, you can get rid of all your other antiquated compounds and polishes because now there is finally a product that will in fact do it all.
Besides offering incredible cutting and finishing ability, the product never dries up on you. Meaning you can buff until the cows come home and the product works throughout the entire buffing cycle and just as important – ZERO DUSTING! So many compounds and product dry-up and then start creating dust all over the car, your pad and you! No so with 3D ONE.
No fillers. 3D ONE does not contain any fillers, or any ingredients intended to fill, mask, or camouflage swirls and scratches. The results you see are true and accurate.
Also – Super easy wipe off. Most compounds become sticky and can become difficult to wipe-off after buffing. 3D ONEE is easy to wipe-off immediately after buffing and for hours after buffing. Easy wipe-off mans less risk for user-induced towel wiping marring and better yet – less tiring for you.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.

Unit price per- Step 1 extra cutting body shop compound with foam or wool pad
- Cuts P1000 grit sandpaper or finer
- Removes sanding marks, deep scratches, oxidation, and water spots
- Levels car paint surface to create a more perfect finish
3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound is the wool pad version of 3D ACA 510 for shops that prefer and use wool pads when cutting with a rotary polisher.
When it comes to polishing paint, THE most important factor is the abrasive technology. Think about it? It is the abrasives that TOUCH the paint first, then the buffing pad. Behind the pad is the tool and behind the tool is the person.
3D Products is unique in ALL the world because our abrasive technology is unique to 3D. We make all our own powders, (powders mean abrasive technology), we go as far to make our own raw materials to make our own powders! There’s no other company that can make this claim.
Tunch Goren, the head chemist, founder and owner of 3D Products came up with this technology completely on his own after studying abrasive technology and formulations for over 25 years. Tunch’s passion is to continually create abrasive technology that is unlike no other abrasive technology in the world.
The process that Tunch Goren invented and manufactures in-house in Santa Clarita, California is unique – there are no other manufacturing plants on Earth with this capability.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.
What is it? - A body shop safe, silicone-free, water based premium quality fast cutting compound for use with wool pads and rotary polishers to remove sanding marks in body shop environments.
What does it do? - 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound is formulated and intended for use in body shops to remove sanding marks after wet sanding. It can also be used by detailers for paint correction including removing deep scratches, water spots, swirls, and oxidation. 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound levels automotive paint surfaces to create a more perfect finish
When do you use it? - After wet sanding paint to remove the sanding marks or anytime you need to perform paint correction to remove serious and/or deep swirls, scratches, water spots or oxidation and prep the paint for the polishing step.
Why use 3D ACA 500 over other options? - Fast cutting, long buffing cycle, zero dusting and easy wipe-off – what’s not to like? Plus, 3D’s exclusive and even exotic Alpha Ceramic Alumina abrasive technology does not retain heat like conventional abrasive technology. This helps to keep surface temperatures low.
Low buffing temperatures are important because unlike the misinformation that floats around the internet, heat is not good for clearcoats. You’re NOT supposed to heat-up clearcoat paint as a part of any buffing process although some people teach this as an approved practice.
Besides top-notch product performance, 3D keeps your safety as a top priority when formulating any product including all of our compounds, polishes, and all-in-ones.
There is ZERO crystalline silica in 3D ACA 500 X-TRA Cut Compound just like there is zero crystalline silica in any of our products. Crystalline silica is a fine, glass particulate that floats in the air. It’s cheap and this is why it was commonly used in other brands of compounds, polishes, and all-in-one type products.
Here at 3D, we have NEVER used crystalline silica in any of our products and we never will. We make products that are safe for you and the environment – this is how we roll at 3DProducts.com

Unit price per- High gloss Montan Butter Car Wax
- Ultimate wet look, silky soft feel, and deep shine finish
- Designed to protect your paint for longer with less applications
- Non-staining formula great for cars, RVs, motorcycles, and trucks
3D POXY falls into the category waxes called, show car waxes or finishing waxes. The reason for this is because it’s pure protection. There are not chemical cleaners or abrasives like you find in AIO type products. This is a dedicated product for protecting the paint will adding a deep, wet, high gloss shine that slick and slippery to the touch like we all love. Because it has no cleaners or abrasives and thus no ability to remove paint defects like swirls, scratches, oxidation, and water spots, it should ONLY be used on pant that is already in new or excellent condition. This includes brand new cars fresh off the dealership’s showroom floor or immediately after the paint on any vehicles has been professionally cleaned and polished.
3D on the outside of the bottle means you can trust the product on the inside of the bottle.
What is it? - 3D POXY is a non-cleaning, hybrid sealant/wax. This means it’s’ a blended paint protection product made from both man-made synthetic protection ingredients fused with naturally occurring fossilized Montan Wax. It contains zero abrasives or chemical cleaners and for this reason should only be used on paint that is clean and smooth to the touch like brand new vehicles or paint that has been recently corrected.
Montan Wax is a naturally occurring bituminous wax found in brown or lignite coal deposits. It is hard, non-toxic, and highly resistant to decomposition. In simpler terms, it doesn’t break-down as easy as other wax ingredient options commonly used in the car care industry. When used as an ingredient in automotive waxes it imparts a scuff-resistance, high water repellency and a super high gloss shine.
Because Montan Wax both impermeable and also proven to be highly chemical resistant, it excels as just one of the protection ingredients used in 3D POXY to protect your car’s paint. Another favorable characteristic is that Montan Wax offers excellent heat-resistance, making it a great choice for use in outdoor environments where your vehicle is exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods of time.
3D POXY offers fast application by hand or machine and after fully drying, (about 15 to 20 minutes), wipe-off is super easy. This is a great choice for large items like high-end RVs and also brand-new trucks, suvs and cars. The resulting finish is slick and slippery to the touch, this helps to decrease risk of marring and also makes drying faster and safer.
What does it do? - Seals the surface of your car’s paint with a long lasting, high gloss, scuff-resistant, chemical resistant, water-resistant and heat-resistant layer of protection.
When do you use it? - On paint that is in new and/or excellent condition. This includes cars that are brand new when the paint is still smooth to the touch without any below surface paint defects like swirls, scratches, water spots or oxidation.
3D POXY is also an excellent topper for additional protection, longevity, gloss, and shine after first using 3D SPEED to correct neglected paint on older cars.
Why use 3D POXY over other options? - 3D POXY provides excellent paint protection, longevity plus gloss, depth, and shine in a single, easy to use liquid form that can be applied by hand or machine. Because this is a BLENDED product you get the features and benefits of multiple paint protection ingredients. Waxes and sealants that are singular, that is the protection aspect is based upon a single ingredient or substance can only offer limited features and benefits.
The biggest enemy to automotive clearcoats are chemical attack followed by marring followed by water spotting due to all the contamination in all water sources including city water, well water and rainwater.
3D POXY is highly chemical resistant, mar-resistant and water-resistant. Besides how it excels past the competition when it comes to protecting your car’s paint, it’s also super easy to apply and like 3D SPEED – super easy to wipe-off.
The gloss and shine are exceptional but what people really love is how 3D POXY leaves your car’s paint feeling super slick and slippery to the touch. And this makes washing faster, easier, and safer.

Unit price per- High grade carnauba paste wax
- Applicator pad included
- Easy application and longer lasting than liquid wax
- Superior shine and protection
- Carnauba paste wax is a grade one carnauba wax. It has a very nice scent and it is going to give you the deepest shine that a carnauba could possibly give you.
- Carnauba paste wax is very simple and very easy to apply. Take our 3D red applicator sponge, put a little bit on there just enough to make sure you achieve full coverage and in small motions circular motions go ahead and massage gently into the surface.
- Carnauba paste wax, or any type of wax, is not made to remove scratches; what a carnauba paste wax, or any type of wax, is designed for is to be a sacrificial layer and to give your paint depth and color enhance that color, and give you kind of a very wet look.
- Using back and forth motions, be sure you get full coverage. If you have to, you can apply a little bit more. Now it comes down to user preference.
- Some people like doing the circular motions. Some like to do a back and forth motion. Some people are worried about whether this technique will leave swirl marks in the paint.
- Keep your applicator clean and keep your wax nice and clean, then you shouldn’t have any problem. Apply the wax evenly… then allow it to haze.
- keep it away from your door jambs your plastics and rubbers.
- Apply this product in the shade, out of direct sunlight, just for the ease of use and make sure you get 100% coverage and one thing to note about carnauba wax is that carnauba wax will not build upon itself no matter how many coats you put on.
- It doesn’t mean you’re gonna get more wax on the surface. The only reason for a second coat is to be sure that you did not miss any spots.
- Expect it to flash in about three to four minutes. Remove the flashed wax with a clean microfiber towel. You will get a nice deep and wet look. Make sure you always inspect the microfiber towel to be sure that there is nothing on the towel that could cause any scratching. Fold the microfiber towel into fours. Gently massage it off the surface.
- It is best not to apply in direct sunlight. Do the application in the shade or in a garaged area.

3D BDX safely removes brake dust off your car’s wheels. It’s also a wide-spectrum chemical contamination remover for the exterior of your car painted body panels.
What is it? - 3D BDX is a spray-on product formulated to chemically dissolve and remove a wide spectrum of chemical contamination off the exterior of your car including wheels, body panels and other exterior surfaces. This product is specifically formulated to be safe on modern clearcoat finishes as well as all types of wheels, including painted, chrome, polished and coated aluminum. 3D BDX is Acid-Free, and pH balanced. 3D BDX is also VOC complaint, green technology and biodegradable making it an earth-friendly car detailing product.
Color Changing Effect - If contamination is present on the wheels or the painted body panels, there’s a chemical reaction that takes place when 3D BDX chemically dissolves the contamination. The visual appearance of this process is the 3D BDX (and the dissolved contamination), turn a dark, purple red color. This is a sign contamination is in fact present. The good news is by dissolving the contamination so that it can be flushed off with rinse water, you have stopped any corrosion taking place on the finish of your car’s wheels or on your car’s paint. Considering how thin modern car paint is – it’s important to keep it clean and contamination-free. After washing the car, you can move onto the next step knowing your car’s wheels and paint are clean and free from any chemical contamination.
What if I don’t see any color changing effect? - After spraying your car’s wheels or any of your car’s body panels, if you do not see any color changing taking place in the spray on the surface, this is even better news. It means there is no contamination and more important – this means there was no corrosion taking place on the finish of your car’s wheels or on the exterior paint. Believe it or not, even though everyone loves to see the color-changing effect, also called the bleeding-effect, it’s better for your wheels and paint to see nothing at all. And now you have the confidence to move onto the next step knowing your car’s wheels and paint are clean and free from any chemical contamination.
What does it do? - After spraying onto a surface, it seeks out and dissolves a wide spectrum of chemical contamination so that it can then be washed and/or rinsed off your vehicle’s wheels and/or body panels. Including,
- Brake Dust
- Iron Contamination
- Traffic Pollution
- Industrial Fallout
- Road Film
When do you use it? - For cleaning brake dust off your car’s wheels and also for chemically decontaminating the body panels that make up your car’s exterior.
Wheels - Use 3D BDX anytime you wash your car. Every time you use your brakes, the friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors creates brake dust as your brakes wear down with each use. This brake dust builds-up on your car’s wheels. Because wheels naturally become dirty with brake dust it’s normal to use a brake dust remover every time you wash your car regardless of the type of wash process you use.
Body Panels – the exterior of your car - There are two categories of car washing, Prep Wash and Maintenance Wash. Generally speaking, you only use 3D BDX when doing a Prep Wash and skip the 3D BDX step for body panels when doing a Maintenance Wash.
What’s the difference between a Prep Wash and a Maintenance Wash? - Great question, I’m glad you asked.
Prep Wash - A prep wash is where you are washing a neglected car to get it surgically clean before doing any paint correction steps. Paint correction steps can include things like,
- Mechanical decontamination with detailing clay or the 3D Nano Pad or 3D Nano Prep Towels.
- Dedicated compounding and polishing steps with 3D compounds and polishes
- Doing one-step paint correction with products like 3D SPEED.
When doing any type of paint correction, anything already on the surface of the painted body panels is going to be abraded off, conventional car waxes, synthetic paint sealants and ceramic paint coatings. For this reason, it’s recommended to use 3D BDX for a Prep Wash.
Maintenance Wash - A maintenance wash is a wash process intended to clean cars already detailed, in excellent condition and regularly maintained. As such, there’s less need for extreme cleaning processes and products like iron removers and chemical decontamination sprays. In fact, the whole point of a Maintenance Wash is to be as careful and NON-invasive as possible so as to avoid marring the paint during the process as well as preserving whatever the protective coating was chose to seal the paint surface, be it a ceramic coating, conventional car wax or synthetic paint sealant.
Body Panels - When doing a maintenance wash, the type of LSP or Last Step Product used on the painted body panels is a key deciding factor as to whether to use 3D BDX or not.
Cars with Ceramic Coatings - A quality ceramic coating properly installed is chemical resistant, at least a lot more chemical resistant than a conventional car wax or synthetic paint sealant. Thus, if you feel the need to check for or ensure there is no iron or chemical contamination on your car’s finish it’s perfectly okay to use 3D BDXon a ceramic coated car as the ingredients in this product will not interfere with the coating.
Cars with Conventional Car Waxes or Synthetic Paint Sealants - The downside to using conventional car waxes and synthetic paint sealants are they are not near as chemical resistant as a ceramic coatings. Thus, using iron removers and chemical contamination sprays will tend to remove these types of sacrificial protective coatings pre-maturely. It’s just the nature of the beast. So generally speaking, you don’t use iron removers when doing a maintenance wash on cars protected with car waxes and/or synthetic paint sealants.
Why use 3D BDX over other options? - Most iron removers are formulated for a single purpose and that is to remove iron or in scientific lingo, Fe or ferrum, which is Latin for iron.
3D BDX is a more complicated product. It’s formulated to safely dissolve and remove all types of iron contamination, which includes brake dust and dissolved iron in our water supplies, both city water and well water but 3D BDX goes further and also safely removes other common forms of chemical contamination on vehicles including, brake dust, iron contamination, traffic pollution, industrial fallout, and oily road film.
Summary
- 3D BDX can be used to wash and clean brake dust off wheels anytime you wash your car.
- 3D BDX can be used on body panels any time you’re doing a Prep Wash.
- 3D BDX should not be used for body panels when used as a part of a Maintenance Wash unless the car being washed has a ceramic coating.

- Removes Iron Contamination.
- Removes Industrial Fallout.
- Non-Acid – Safe on ALL wheels.

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.
