Compound ideas

**Cruzscarwash** · 05-19-2018, 06:36 PM

So I've been using Meg's D300 alot and love it's work time, minimal dusting and great finish, the low price point is a bonus.

With that said what compounds cut just as well and finish just as good if not better with little to no dusting??

Bonus would be close to d300 price range but not a must.

Since I only do my own vehicles and always baby them, I really have not had the chance to try out too many true compounds.

I've used Megs UC a few times. Worked Ok. But my wife went through the swirl-o-matic earlier this spring (Don't ask...Lol) and I used Griots Fast Correcting Cream to get rid of the nasty swirls incurred from that.

I found it to work very well. Almost zero dusting, had a great working time, and removed pretty easily. Finished down just like a polish. IMO

It's not as cost friendly as the Megs, but for me, the Griots will probably last me forever.

I do like groits and have already burned through a bottle just looking at others as well

Ok, cool.

Well that's about all I had to say about compounds. Lol

How about Menzerna FG400?

I like it a lot. It CUTS and finish pretty good. I always follow with Menzerna 3500 or 3800 then seal.

Menz F400 and Pinnacle Advance Compound are nearly identical. Both fall into the DAT (diminishing abrasives -- long work times and abrasives break down). Both will dust!

D300 is SMAT, GG Fast Correcting Cream is (as I understand it) a proprietary version of SMAT. The great thing is no dusting. Smell can be a bit overwhelming after many hours of use. But, Pinnacle Advanced Compound or BOSS Fast Correcting Cream are my go to's.
