A HEAVYWEIGHT MATCHUP!! Top Heavy Cut Compounds Battle It Out!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- This video puts the top 4 cut compounds in my shop on the same panel for a battle royale. These compounds do the heavy lifting for us removing deep imperfections and oxidation on clear coat and single stage paints on cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Today, we will feature 3D ACA 500 Extre Cut, Sonax Ultimate Cut Plus, Xtreme Solutions Knockout, and Jescar Heavy Cut Compound.
The 3D ACA 500 X-tra Cut Compound helps you remove medium to heavy imperfections faster than before! The secret to the corrective power in this compound is the Alpha Ceramic Alumina. This water-based abrasive helps provide low heat output and high-speed leveling that will correct even the most challenging clearcoats. ACA 500 is easy to use, easy to clean-up (low dusting), is sun friendly and contains no harmful solvents, kerosene or OSHA regulated crystalline silica. If you have lighter imperfections or need to perform a second polishing step, the 3D ACA 520 Finishing Polish paired with a light corrective pad is a fantastic choice. Working by hand or with a polisher, reach for the 3D ACA 500 X-tra Cut Compound to remove heavy imperfections with ease!
When it comes to compounding, Jescar Heavy Cut Compound is formulated for the elimination of a minimum of P1200 girt sanding marks on fresh paint, deep scratches and more. Jescar Heavy Cut Compound works on different paint surfaces, as well as fiberglass gelcoat. Jescar Heavy Cut Compound is best used with wool or foam pads on rotary or dual action polishers. Plus, Jescar Heavy Cut Compound is silicon-free and safe for paint.
Sonax Ultimate Cut 6+ is designed to be an extremely fast abrasive compound to remove deep scratches and sanding marks. Sonax Ultimate Cut 6+ is made with pure, sharp edged aluminum oxide that will provide powerful and even abrasion to the surface. As powerful as it is, Sonax Ultimate Cut 6+ is water-based and made without the use of silicones or fillers, so it is body-shop safe. Even though it can easily remove defects from gel coat, Sonax Ultimate Cut 6+ is perfectly safe for even the softest car paint.
LVR 321 Knockout is an abrasive cleaner that removes 1000 to 1200 sand marks, oxidation, water spots and many other paint surface problems. May be used on a two stage and conventional paints. This fast cutting liquid compound quickly removes imperfections. With zero dusting, the professional detailer will find a major difference in time and performance when using LVR 321 Knockout. For maximum results, follow up with a Stage 2 polish and a Stage 3 glaze and then lock it all down with an Incredible topper such as LVR 357 Magnum Wax, Poly-Seal Hybrid Polymer Sealant or Topper: Top Coat Lubricant & Protectant.

Which one step polishes would you like to see on the same panel?
Doesn't matter your videos are top notch. Maybe 3d one, rupes, turtle wax
3D One
Griots Fast Correction
TW One & Done
Koch Chemie P6 01
I would like to see 3D ONE against other top one steps.
Menzerna 2500, 3D One, Koch Chemie F6.01, Griot's Correcting Cream, Sonax Perfect Finish
Turtle wax one and done, 3D1, Sonax perfect finish as a one step on soft or medium paint . Over time as often as I switched up and tried new polishes, I’m finding Perfect Finish has multiple applications by changing pads.
I was missing the comparison videos , good job Brian, thanks!!!
I've just finished paint repair where clear coat had come off on some areas of my Ural motorcycle sidecar. I built up the missing areas with primer, color, and used a can of Spraymax 2K clear coat which came out great. Your video was excellent in describing my final steps of using 2000 grit sand to level the new clear and polish out.
So glad to see another comparison installment! Thank you Brian.
Glad we are back with matchups
These heavyweight compound videos are awesome!! 👊 🇨🇦
Yes thanks brian. I've been enjoying all of your videos, but I think we all miss these comparisons videos!! :)
3D ACA 500 for me, use it with lamb wool, either rotary or DA. often add a few drops of 3D One to prolong work cycle, and finish even better. i also have used Sonax Cutmax in the past. Fun to see new compounds added to the list! only other logical step would be to wetsand lol!
Just bought a a 500. Giving it a try
3M Perfect-it Heavy is the most aggressive compound I used so far. It states it removes 800 grit sandpaper marks. In reality it struggles removing even 1500 grit sandpaper marks, but it still the fastest cutting compound I used.
Bravo Brian, its always a winner with a compound battle...
Another great comparison vid. Thanks Brian! 3D products never disappoint😁
Great videos as always Brian, absolutely enjoy your comparison videos.
This is what I always wanted to see
I use a lot of 3D ACA500 for cutting followed by 3D SPEED or 3D ONE. I've never tried the others but I've been interested. Of all the ones I have used they can't touch ACA500. Thanks and love these videos Brian!
Those are all I have on my cart at work. At home I have a few, but Those three seal the deal every time.
Of those, 3D ONE gets used the most.
I personally prefer something that can finish down nicely. A lot of the cars I have done have been cut and wax. We had xtreme solutions pure cut and dynamic cut and I would always go over the cars with I buffed with a carnuba based wax by machine so I could kinda polish them with that. Never had any complaints.
Excellent comparison. I’m used to cut max and ACA 500. I was thinking rather than switch to ultimate cut , when I feel the need for more aggression , I switch to a rotary and wool. Then finish down with perfect finish. Softer clear is where I have to do more testing and seldom use straight cutting compounds, then I’m using less aggressive polishes and the equivalent to a yellow rupes. I might get a bottle of ultimate cut and try it out.
I'm glad I read through the comments because pretty much everything you just said is what I was going to say. Personally I think ACA 500 cuts a little better with a rotary then Cut Max does but that's just my opinion.
Absolutely. ...500 being designed for wool will have less cut with foam but works perfectly on soft clear to cut.
Xtreme solutions look like it did a great job. Glad to see comparisons videos Thank Brian.
I do a lot of spot repair jobs, and 3D ACA 500 made my job a lot easier since i can buff out paint edges waay faster than before
Love these types of videos. Thank you Mr. Brian. 👍
I have been using 3D ACA 500...but have had to do several passes at times.. now that I have proper options my work will get done faster 😁
Nice ! Wanna see the finishing polish battle !
See which one can give the most reflection !
Really the best 3M and Maguiars Diamond cut not on the video? Wow.
Great video! Been missing the comparison videos. 👍
I would like to see these compounds with a wool pad
i think ima buy some of that Jescar and try it
Great comparisons! Thanks for sharing.
Use 3d one and 3d aca 500 and have had little to no complaints with the two products for anything I do.
I love to see the same whit a Rotary ... Whit purple lake country wool pad...
Awesome comparison Brian, however I haven't tried these yet but will definitely give them a try👌
These shootouts were the greatest!
I really like these kind of videos and your thought Brian, as you said, some are maybe better but there is a few factors that can depend in different days, humidity, cold, hot, sunny….I have Xtreme Knockout and it did a great job with my rotary and whool pad.
Exactly.
Yes! I miss these!!!
I am an enthusiast. I have yet to find a heavy cut I like most. I have tried 3 of them. Might order some of the Jescar or the 3D. I have a few extreme solutions products. I love using the LVR 500 but haven’t tried anything harsher yet from them.
Love all your videos!
3D and Jescar are my favorite lines for paint correction. From their heavy to fine cuts.
Tried all/many…..now only using Koch Chemie Heavy, Fine & Micro with their appropriate pads too! Using the single brand thing I find I just know exactly where I am & where I’m going…if you know what I mean
2 Products straight out of Germany, 3D is owned and manufactured by a German, but operates out of California and Xtreme Solutions is straight outta New Jersey. I was routing for you XS. I've only used Helios and I love that stuff. I've used that 3D and it's great. So can we put an older compound up against a new compound?
Thanks Brian!
These are so good. I really like the comparison videos the most.
I like 3D One and ACA 500 for heavy work. I recently used Turtle Wax graphemes infused compound and it was great. I have used Sonax, but it creates dust for me so I try to avoid it.
Graphene compound? Do you mean One and Done? That product doesn't have any protection in it. I like it more than 3D One.
Great video like the 3d the best with the newer clear coat it works best for me
Just what I needed. Thanks dad.
how would you rate Koch Chemie Cut compound in this line up? The Red One
Awsome and very informative Video! Thanks a lot! Makes me Wonder how would the Rupes DA Coarse compete with these heavy-weights in your hands!🤩🤩🤩
Nice comparison , but would never try and buff out 1000 grit sanding marks . Really like the 3D ACA 500 for initial buff . 😎
Totally, no one would buff out 1,000 grit but just to show how the compounds react to heavy scratches
No orange pad? Thanks for the comparison.
This blue one is a small step above the orange pad.
That Jescar looks legit!
I'm a user of Lvr 321 knock out right now. Good results. I have half a bottle of Griots Fast Correcting Cream left yet, and like that too. I sure do like your videos.
Sure is nice to have the product availability that Griots has. It's hard to beat for that reason alone...
Just purchased your ceramic coating giving it a try this weekend. I need to see about getting certified with you as I’d love to be able to offer the warranty for my customers.
Agreed on ur choice. Awesome video and product review good friend. B well
Can you do a video on shine supply? I’d like to see you try out Classic Cut+, Classic Polish, and also Chop Top
Very nice , would’ve liked to see H9 from Koch in a matchup like this.
Absolutely...another good one.
@@apexdetail85 Koch is coming out with a H9.02 as well soon.
@@AmirAbdullah any source for this? Imo h901 is bit dissapointing after h802.
@@jtm1979 Search the recent Koch Videos.
@@jtm1979 I liked H8 but you had to use something like 3D one with a yellow pad to clean up the haze left. Even Sonax Perfect finish with H8. The LackRuin P1.01 smelled horrible and it left a haze of you were using it with a DA. Hand applications were best imo. I personally like the new setup I’ve even cut down to 1000k with a cordless polisher and H9 on a really hard repaint on a Nissan last year.
Excellent as always Brian 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks again!
I'm here in Los Angeles California and I really love the Jescar
Brian, any plans on doing a test of 3d ACA 510?
Thanks for this video, very helpful. I've got a 20 year old black F250 that is going to get scratches wetsanded out this fall/winter, looks like I'll be using Jescar or Sonax, whichever is on sale!!
Ok, hey... so here's my dilemma: I am a DIYer who was quoted over $20k to have a boat painted, so I did it myself. I was rolling on Alexseal epoxy based paint and had a bunch of coats on, each one needing to be applied within 24 hours of the last one to maintain a chemical bond, and the paint being so thin that it needs something like 10 coats to get a minimal amount of thickness. All was going well until I got into a pretty major motorcycle accident between coats. Now the finish is less than perfect. I either need to sand it and start over or buff it with an extremely aggressive compound because buffing epoxy is like buffing concrete. I may end up sanding it again in the future, but I'm just trying to get her to look good (enough) for this season. What buffing wheel and compound would you recommend for this application?
Thanks for comparing many that I’ve been curious about! Have you ever given Oberk Supreme Cut a try? It’s been the primary compound in our shop for the better part of the year, outside of super hard clear it cuts amazingly and finishes down better then any compound we’ve tried.
I think we have that and the polish as well as the pads. Not bad at all.
love this series, but why you don't use rotary for this kinda test? and what's difference between the wet sanding and heavy cut compounds? wet sanding should be faster Than machine polishers right?
Sonax seem to do the best.. I'm struggling to buy the best cutting compound.
What about Manzerna ?
3D ACA for the win price point , and result
You can try grinding compound instead of cutting if you want to remove the sand marks faster
i love your videos but the bottle from 3D acca 500 what you have there is designed for wool pad. so, some how ls normal to give less cut if you use foam pad
The reason you get less cut with the foam pad and ACA 500 is because it has extra lubrication to allow it to work better with wool. That extra lubrication over-lubricates the abrasives when used with foam pads which reduces the cut. I much prefer ACA 510 for foam pads and it also cuts much better on really hard paints when used with wool. ACA 500 is my go to for cutting softer paints and 510 for hard paints.
Would of liked to see menzerna in this comparison
My go to is aca 500 second is jescar thanks for the video Brian.
Brian I got into Angelwax thanks to your channel and your passion for their products, but sadly these days we don't seem to see them, apart from Strip-ease, very often now (although I confess I have a few videos to catch up on). Are you still using them. I use mostly AW for my business and absolutely love them 👍
I'm curious as to why you'd only go with hdo blue with such heavy cut compound.
It would be a good option depending on the hardness of clear. sometimes the orange...sometimes the green.
Why is menzenera not on the battle lol. That stuff is my go to
So the jescar was best for removing heavy scratches?
Amazing you chose jescar over 3d aca. All look good im still om 3d 1. Maybe one day I will upgrade.
Neither is a replacement for 3D ONE.
😂. Because esoteric found this out along time ago. They detail many cars daily and detail exotics and super cars and hyper cars
Trust the guys who get trusted with 4 million dollar machines .. they don’t use 3D 😂😂😂
which is the best? number 1?
Would be great to see
3D ONE vs TW Hybrid Solutions PRO “1 & Done” vs Koch Chemie One Cut & Finish P6.01
Great video 👍👍
Can you review Car Pro Ultra cut?
No sirve para nada, no pierdas tu dinero comprandolo no corta nada ,el que uso mas es jescar correcting compound esta muy bueno
Da coarse dusts a lot
The Rupes? Yeah, that's why I don't really use it.
3m step 1 beats them all. I'm telling ya, just cant compete!
Nice. Have you tried Xtreme Solutions LVR 2 heavy scratch remover yet?
600-800 Sand scratch removal rated. It’s my go-to in heavy scratch scenarios. Thanks Brian! 😎
Haven't heard of that
Not as of yet.
@@kimnewling5728 Works great, just got to be careful. 😊
I tried some of that a year or two ago. It's some wild stuff man. I think its weird its so inexpensive. But Brian has converted me to wet sanding so much, I rarely need something that heavy anymore.
I'll have to keep an eye on that one. How aggressive is it on very soft clear? Do you think it would eat a Honda too much as opposed to just doing some spot sanding?
What brand etc would you use on a heavy oxidized boat?
Sonax cuts better than 3D but 3D finishes down better I like a compound that finishes down good
I use Sonax products a lot in general. But always find myself reaching for Griots BOSS cremes. Cutting and finishing just can't be beat
My favorite part of the Griots line is that I can get into my car and find some within 5 minutes regardless of which direction I head.
@@Jeff_Seely yea that is convenient for sure!!
No Griot's Garage?
Just did boat with this stuff and looks fabulous. Any reason to use polish after compound if looks good ?
I’ve been using sonax, but want to try 3D
Nice. I've only used the jescar correction compound, so how does the jescar heavy cut compare to that in terms of finishing, cycle time etc. ?
Great review many thanks, havent seen Jescar available over here (yet) but Sonax & 3D are part of every day polishing. Very much looking forward to the 'finishing polish' as I still havent found a regular partner & have 4 times more "Great Finishing Polishes" than all the rest put together. Will be interesting to see if Megs 210 makes it into your shprt list.
Brian doesn't use Meguiar's polishes so my bet is M210 will not make the list.
Jescar is Menzerna in disguise, from what I gather.
@@flemmingjensen3202 Menzerna formulates Jescar to their specifications.
Not all products are similar. Just take Menzerna 2500 vs 2400. You'd think very similar products, but in fact formulated differently.
Menzerna 2500 vs Jescar Medium Polish has been reported to have slightly different buffing experience. I'd think those two would match up the closest if Jescar was just relabeled Menzerna products.
@@flemmingjensen3202 We 100% are not. Totally unique products.
@@yanniobkirk5744 Not true! No Jescar product is made by Menzerna whatsoever.
How about Griots fast correcting cream?
Great video B, thanks! How does optimum hyper compound compare to these compounds? I absolutely love the working time and the no dusting with hyper compound, it also sun friendly and leaves no marking on the weather stripping .
I agree...just a little short on cut for me.
I love everything about Hyper Compound.. except the cut. If they managed to put out a heavy cut version, I would be all over it. 👍
So... does the Jescar compare to Menzerna Heavy Cut? And would that be the 400 - or the Super Heavy Cut 300?
More towards the Super Cut....very similar.
Brian quick question
What compound would you recommend for a Honda Accord that has soft paint but is very heavily swirled has not been buffed in 8 years
The paint is in good shape just oxidizing swirled I currently have griotes fast correcting cream and I have McGuire's 110 and the 210 I was thinking about getting the kosh Cami but I don't know if that's too aggressive for the Honda paint
Hi Brian.. what happen with 1500 grit that usually there
Have you tried feynlab a50. Supposed to be awesomeness
Thank for your time and effort. Thumbs 👍
Question:
Which one of the 4 compounds presented in the vid have the longest cycle time /opened work time/?
3D ACA 500
@@apexdetail85 Thank you for your input. This 3D ACA-500 Heavy Cut Compound will be the next addition to my arsenal.
Brian, Would No. 7 Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound be similar to these products? Thank you.
Nice aggression....but too dusty and short cycle time for me. personally.
@@apexdetail85 Thank you.
How would these compare to the Fast Correcting Cream from Griots?
3D does a way better job with there spider pads especially if you cut with rotary
Brian, This a non automobile polishing question. But have you ever polished an old pair of eyeglasses? The coatings they use get scratched wear off, most lenses are polycarbonate so I would think that they could be polished to improve clarity and glare. I would like see you do a video on this subject. Thanks
I have had glasses most of my life...and have never tried it.
@@apexdetail85 I have worn glasses most my life too. I have looked for videos on UA-cam and I could not find a good one on this subject a professional like you could probably do this with an Ibrid Nano polisher or better yet a Dremel speed, polish, pad would all be interesting to know. It okay if the coatings get removed I just want better clarity and less scratches may require wet sanding. I would love to see how you approach this problem.
If you know the watch brand Swatch, they can polish scratches out of surface of
Hey Brian can you use your nmtal oxide Coating on plastic lets say a 4 wheeler or snowmobile.
If I had to pick just one, it would be the ACA 500
Why is the 3d 500 hard to wipe off on gm paint?
How do those compare to Meg’s 205?
Try kock chimie line up if you can
I know the dust is a thing but really good brand all together
I have...a really great option as well.
@@apexdetail85 Heavy Cut H9
Brian, which 1-step would you recommend? I've used 3D One, but don't like the greasy wipeoff. I don't have time for a 2-step, and I don't like fillers, or dusting. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Sonax cut and Finish, TW One and Done, 3D ACA 520, Solutions Dynamic cut and a few others.
Give Jescar Medium Polish a try. Excellent cut to finish ratio.
