In reading the information on them,they seem identical. They both claim little or no dusting. The AAT in the 32 oz green bottle is water borne so says the info. The Adapt & Cut have the same description but don't say water borne. Are they the same products? I know Cut is more aggressive than Adapt between those 2. Is the AAT in the green bottles better than Adapt or Cut?

According to the 3D rep I talked with, AAT is Cut with a 'special additive' (his words) added to the formula in which he couldn't specify nor explain better.
They are both very similar, but AAT Rubbing Compound seems to cut a bit more than 3D Cut.
I personally believe (guess is a better word) that the the 3D AAT RC seems to have harder and smaller abrasives than Cut, you cannot feel it when you do a finger test.
It reminds me Meguiar's 100 regarding cut, though with an oilier touch.
AAT Finishing also cuts as well, both excellent compounds, and versatile regarding polishers and pads.
Best regards.
