Review: 3D ONE Hybrid Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish

[Tarheelplayr5]

With HD Cut, yes. With One, i haven't yet. I have a ton of work lined up to give a more in depth review. This was my initial thought on the product.

after the LC orange did you think it needed a fine polish or would it be ready for LSP?

The paint I was working on looked fine after one stage, no matter which pad I used. Paint was pretty hard though, and I wasn’t chasing perfection as the job was a favor for a friend on an older car. If it was mine, and had softer paint I would have tried a test with a softer pad afterwards to see if any improvement.

ONE would be a game changer if it cut like Sonax Cutmax on hard paint and finished like Sonax Perfect Finish on soft paint. I know it can’t do the latter. This does not mean it’s a bad product. I’m actually enjoying using it. 3D has really pumped this stuff up to be the best thing since sliced bread.

I was finally able to test out 3D One on a black vehicle. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

B&S microfiber finishing pad. Great combination on this vehicle. It's a brand new truck, brand new as in less than 1000 miles on it. Someone mentioned One leaving micro-marring on black clear that was on the softer side. This is probably as fresh as it get other than coming out of the body shop. 3D One left no micro-marring whatsoever and finished down very well. To those of you having finishing issues with this product, i'd say you either have the wrong pad combination with One or you need to retire the polisher.

Nice and glossy.

Those pics are before any topper?

I did not apply any type of topper to this truck at the time of these pictures. It'll get an IPA wipe-down and ceramic coated tonight though.
