    3D One

    I used 3D one for the first time today and it did a great job at cutting and finishing LSP ready, but it was a bit of a pain to remove. It pretty oily for me. Has any one experienced this as well? And tips on helping with the removal or did I just use too much product? It did great on the Jeep's paint.

    You are not alone. The more I use it the more I dislike it for the reason you described.

    It’s overall performance is good but the wipe off and constant need to wipe off is a con for me. It takes multiple swipes to remove it and the wipe off towels seem to load up quickly.

    Using a wetting agent or prep spray does help. But it is rather cumbersome to wipe it off cleanly otherwise compared to other polishes.

    Try backing off on the amount of product.

    When Don from 3D says "a little goes a long way", he isn't kidding.

    I start with four, and drop to two for reload. My drops are pretty small too.

    What pads are you using?

    Thank you for the advice!

    I agree, it was annoying and couldn't tell what it corrected and what I still had to correct. I ended up doing an IPA to help cut the wiping time.

    An IPA or equivalent product does help.

    I’ve tried backing down on the amount of product but that didn’t help either. Tried it with Rupes yellow pad, Americana Global’s polishing pad, Rupes yellow wool and it was the same thing with all pads.

    The other positive is it doesn’t dust.

    Too bad it can wipe off as easily as their 3D ACA polish or even the 3D ACA compound for that matter.

    I agree, I will stick to GG Fast Correcting Creme, it hasn't failed me yet and it is much easier to wipe off.

    Only need a little bit of product and also I found letting it set a bit while you do another section then going back to wipe off helps. Kinda like trying to wipe a paste wax to soon.

    I really like this product but a small small amount is all that is needed
