Looking for advice on new compound
I have not compounded a car for a couple years now but looking for advice for what new product advances have come out. I previously have used menzerna heavy cut 400 and liked it at the time.
I bought a new vehicle but it sat on a dealers lot for about 9 months and the paint has quite a few imperfections because of that. It is white so I am looking for something that can be one step for cut and gloss. I plan on coating with cquartz uk and gliss afterwards.
The compounds I have been looking at are carpro ultracut and sonax cutmax. I would like something doesnt stain trim if accidentally gets on trim, lower dust level and finishes well so do not have to polish afterwards. I will be using flex 3401 and have LC orange and white hybrid pads on hand so would like to use one of those. I am not set on either of those compounds so if something different would be suggested I am open to suggestions.

Re: Looking for advice on new compound
It's my only frame of reference but, based on recommendations from people here, I tried Cutmax with a LC orange pad and it worked really well. It took out 5000 grit (hand) wet sanding scratches and finished well enough that I would be comfortable going straight to an LSP. I can't speak to whether it stains trim but the dust was pretty minimal, which was nice.

Re: Looking for advice on new compound
What type of car is this?
You may not need something as aggressive as a compound, especially if the car is one with soft paint. I've been able to do some pretty good correcting and one-steps with only a medium cut product on damage I never thought would polish out that easy.
I like Blackfire's compound. I've also used the Correcting Cream and Perfecting Cream from Griot's BOSS line. Both work very well, so I don't see why their Fast Correcting Cream compound would not be equally good. I haven't tried it due not encountering something require that level of a compound since I bought it.

I'm one of them. For a "compound", the way it finishes is actually unbelievable.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
