Under what situation is this product used? What is it designed to do? And what kind of pad do you use with this product (lake country pad and PC)? Thanks for the help.

I have a question about Megs Fine Cut Cleaner

Megâ€â„¢s will tell you that #2 intended for use with a rotary polisher, not the dual-action polisher. They say using a dual-action will give unsatisfactory results (I havenâ€â„¢t tried it with a dual-action myself).
As with any abrasive compound itâ€â„¢s meant to grind out defects like scratches and oxidation. Using a cutting pad would make sense to me.
They always say to try the least aggressive product first and if it doesnâ€â„¢t work try the next. In theory you might start with something like DACP or #9 Swirl Remover then move on #2 Fine Cut Cleaner, #1 Medium Cut Cleaner and finally #4 Heavy Cut Cleaner. If #4 doesnâ€â„¢t work you probably need to color sand. I would expect that an experience practitioner would be able to look at a finish and jump in a little higher (when appropriate).

In my experience, DACP and #2 start about the same aggressiveness but DACP buffers down quickly to a fine polish (like a SMR) while #2 maintains its bite.
#2 is really designed to buff out old skool single stage paint jobs while DACP works better for modern, thinner and softer base/clear paint jobs.
DACP + PC is a very good combo. Lots of people have used it with excellent results.

SLiM003 said:Isn't DACP a bit more agressive than #2 Fine Cut?
On the bottle DACP is ranked a 6 and #2 is ranked a 5. Mike Philips said this is an error and that #2 is more abrasive than DACP.

I found the #2 to be quite abrasive and it didn't work well for me when I tried it with the PC and the Cyclo (or by hand). Worked better with the rotary, but I still didn't care for it on b/c paint. I liked it better on ss, but I'd still rather use a 3M or 1Z product myself.
