At a nearby UAP/NAPA Auto Body store, I found out that 3M has a new rubbing compound and glaze in their paint finishing system. Check it out!
 
Perfect It III Machine Glaze will appear to work axactely the same as PerfectIt II Machine glaze, but in reality, II relys on fillers while III doesnt
 
I found the PerfectIt III machine glaze to work pretty well. Just about as good as FinnesseItII, whcich does work a little beter for deeper swirls. With both, for good results make sure you folow the directions. I use a yellow pad on the PC, really work the product in for a few minutes, then buff out at a high speed while reducing pressure to further refine the surface.

What PC speeds are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks,

i like to spread the product around 3.5 or so seeing what works best spreading it around the panel the easiest. The i like to turn it up to like 45-5.5 or so. I once turned it all the way up to 6 but i blacked out, and i woke up and the machine was off and the car was completely detailed!;)
 
I was just reading a thread over at AG and somebody mentioned that (in their experience) D151 has more cut than Power Finish. Is that possible? If so, then D151 would be a seriously powerful all-in-one.:confused:
 
D151 is not an agressive polish. There's a chart on here somewhere ranking it below M205. I use it a bunch, I like it, but it would not touch the swirls on my truck (M105 did the truck).
 
Actually D151 is supposed to be more aggressive than SwirlX and M205.

One thing to keep in mind is that D151 does not break down so I would have to say it has the ability to be more aggressive than P203.

The Aggressiveness Order of SMAT Products - This might surprise you!


Super Micro Abrasive Technology = SMAT
From left to right, the most aggressive to the least aggressive SMAT products


From the most to the least aggressive...

M105 Ultra-Cut Compound/M95 Speed Cut Compound = The same in abrading power
Ultimate Compound
ScratchX 2.0
M86 Solo Cut & Polish Cream
D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream
SwirlX
M205 Ultra Finishing Polish


Now instead of SCANNING... (like we're all prone to do on discussion forums), read the below very carefully.

The order shown here is relative, to the idea that if all things were equal, if all influencing factors could be controlled and be identical when using these products.

That of course is impossible because some of these products are only recommended for use with a rotary buffer while some of these products are only recommended for use by hand or with a dual action polisher. So if we were to follow the manufactures recommendations then we wouldn't be able to compare all of these products side-by-side because in some examples they cannot be used in an equal manner.

Does that make sense?

This article is just to give you a GENERAL idea for the aggressiveness of these products when relatively compared to one another. The way a product is applied, (by hand or machine and if by machine the type of machine), and the application material used to apply the products, (foam, wool, wool/acrylic blend, cotton, microfiber), are both HUGE factors that will and do affect how aggressive a product is or isn't.

So keep this in mind when considering which product to choose and use for your detailing project.

Also keep in mind this is a very diverse group of products, all of these products except the D151 PRC are products with the dedicated purpose of removing below surface defects like swirls, scratches and other etchings and blemishes.

The D151 is a one-step cleaner/wax that has the ability to remove below surface defects, polish the paint to a high gloss and then leave behind a coating of protection.

Any questions?

Thanks........:cool:
 
Hmm, funny as it doesn't seem cut very well. I find it flashes really fast. Maybe I'm not working it right, it does leave a nice wax coat on though (one of the cars I did with it is still beading after 3 months).
