I got to use SF3500, you can take a look through the pics for how well it worked:

I haven't used any of the NEW label products, however most of it is just a simple re label.

took some scratches out with 400 and finished down with 3500 on my vette. Still a work in progress since I have other things on my plate

Tried the intense polish,love the working time and how one drop on a da will one half of hood,but it's the dusting I don't like.I have many products on board that can match the performance of menzerna with out the dusting to much clean up time.I bought it to try out nice product but the dusting is a promblem.anyone have there own remedy to delete that promblem?

Also bought the jescar powerlock,nice product leaves a very nice slickness and ease of removal.left a coating on it last night to cure on a 53 olds convertible .a little,dab goes along way as well.

This was brought up last year when I attended the course. It is part of their relabeling in a step process.

Wow, that's a great graphic to illustrate how what used to be a 3-step process (compound, medium polish, fine polish) with the "Standard Products" is now a 2- or possibly 1-step process when you use a "Special Product" like FG400.

Mike, do you know anything about that Heavy Cut 1100 product and how it relates to 1000 (Power Gloss)?

I do not know anything about either of those two products.

When I got on the Menzerna bandwagon, FG400 was just released. Later on I heard the stories about how PG1000 was not very user friendly and how it could dust. After hearing that I never looked into it.

Thanks, I was just wondering what the 1100 was, since it's not sold here in the US. As came up in another thread, I don't really know why they still sell PG, except that it's half the price of FG400...but whatever money you save using that you lose in extra time. I guess there are some applications where it must make sense.

It took me almost an year to figure it out when to use the PG1000; hard clearcoat, rotary with wool or hard foam.
The 1000, 2000 and 3000 seem to be tailored for rotary use.

Honestly I do not know why they sell it either. Especially now with SC300 and FG400. There is no reason to bother with PG1000.

That's exactly right. You save up front but lose on the back end.

Even then, FG400 and SC300 will outperform PG1000.

I know I haven't used PG1000 but I don't see anywhere that PG1000 would be used over the other two compounds.
