confused about Hi-Temp polishes

[jason rawls]

I'm a little confused about some of Hi-temp's products, particularly their polishes. They have swirl remover light cut, medium cut scratch remover, heavy cut leveler, extreme cut leveler, and heavy cut compound. Seems like a lot of different polishes to choose from and I'm unsure as to how these these products match up against some of the other products I'm used to such as the SSR's or DACP and #9.

From what I can gather the heavy cut compound is the only one that has mechanical abrasives and needs to be followed up with something lighter. So that leaves four other non-abrasive products to choose from which supposedly don't leave buffer swirls behind.

I guess my basic question is what instances should all five of these products be used and is it really necessary to have all five of them? Has anybody had any experience with these products and which ones do you prefer?

Hello! I am new at posting on these forums but have been crawling around them for quite some time now, learning all I can from these experienced members. I really enjoy using the Hi-Temp Light Cut #61. I have tried it on two different cars, a red Camry and a black Honda exterior. Both were done using a Rotary running around 1500 speed. On both cars, incredible finishes were attained with #61! I am new to a rotary as well and had NO buffer marks after using this product. Both cars had reason to be polished, or less than perfect paint...not terrible but not an "all in one" product candidate either. I noticed that even with a rotary buffer, the clearcoat was not penetrated on either car. I topped the Light Cut prepped finishes with S100 Carnauba wax and the results gave me the "can't help but smile" effect! After completing the Camry for my Mother in Law on Mothers Day, all who visited her that day saw the car and could not say enough about it...Sorry for the long post but I am a firm believer in Hi-Temp products and will be acquiring a huge product line from them soon. As for the other "cutters", Light Cut got out more than I thought it would as far as scratches and imperfections, but was not perfect. I think by adding the Medium and the Extreme Cut to your arsenal will give you all you need to get pretty much any job done from what I have seen so far with #61...I always use the motto use the least abrasive product to get the job done so with those in your collection, you should be good to go. The price is right as well...Trust them!!!!!!
