Never see anyone discussing this line of polishes
3M
Wonder why that is ? Am I just missing the discussions on thee polishes?
As far as my exp. goes with the 3M company /label / brand, they always seem to be super high quality products and very well respected in every aspect of industry they supply. Now I know they seem to me to be a bit on the high side as far as $$ goes.
Has anyone used there line of polishes? If so I would sure like to hear some feedback from first hand exp.

I'm not quite sure.
Maybe their limited consumer (idiot-proof) line?
I know that 3M makes superior products, and that many body shops use them.
I'm sure other members will chime in..........
Good thread.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Never see anyone discussing this line of polishes
3M is a product that is your industry standard norm. They've been around forever but there are better products out there. Body shop guys swear by it. Detailers and custom paint guys swear by better products. Example - I custom paint helmets, etc. for customers. I was having issues with buffing out a clear coat and messages a very talented car builder I knew. He asked me what I'm using, so I sent him a pic of the product (3M compound) and pads & tools. His response "Get rid of that sh!t and buy this" with a picture of Meguiars M205 and M105. I've never looked back since.

3m products are absolutley amazing products. They are geared towards rotary use for sure.
If you are someone who cuts with a rotary and finishes with a da then the 3m cutting compound will cut better then anything you can do with a da.
Finish with a main stream finishing polish and da.
On a da the 3m products will still cut like no other, they just finish down like crap

When I worked in a body shop, 3M was all we had....along with giant pneumatic buffers and even bigger wool pads. I've not used their compounds since, but currently have their detailing clay in the cabinet.....excellent stuff.

When my paint guy wetsanded my car he finished with 3M Perfect it and it didn't finish down as nice as he would have liked.

That can be said about any given compound/polish on any given paint.
That is definitely a very broad statement and the same can be said about a lot of compounds/polishes, situation dependent
