Most Abrassive for Random Orbital

Just wanting to find out what is the most abrassive product which can be used on a random orbital/da.

If Meguiars #83 DACP ain't cutting it do I have any other product without needing rotary.

Optimum Hyper Compound and most other "compounds". I remember DACP rating around a 6 on the abrasive scale. One of my past fav products, always worked well.

Hey killer, I know tis is off topic, but since your online and I know you have used this type of product before, is there any advantage to using ceramic clearcote polishes on normal clearcotes, or should they just be used for for ceramic clears. Thanks

I think they offer a little more bite initially, like going to a harsher polish. Menzerna polishes finish up some damn nice and bright (gloss rating), its hard to go to other polishes knowing you will need a combo to get it right. (ie. XMT 3 and 1, or SSR 2.5 and 1.0)

I will second that too. I really have found a love for Menzerna polishes..

xmt 4 to me has to be one of the best if not the best DA polisj / compound out. Not only do you get the Pinnacle name and guarantee, but you get a compound especially formulated for DA use like the rest of the XMT series.

I would highly recommend you give it a try if the opportunity arrises.

Very nice. I would only recommend using #4 in some of the extreme cases, as it's AG's MOST abrasive polish/compound out there..

I would much rather use #3 twice, than #4 once.

So would XMT#4 give me that little bit more extra cut compared to Megs #83.

What products would be equal to DACP #83.
