    That rupes blue is a HEAVY cutter for me, doesnt get much use here though.

    Re: I'm DUMBFOUNDED! A FLEX 3401 vs. Rupes LH19 Rotary.

    I'm weighing whether just getting a 3D ONE gallon and been done with it! Or 32oz and speaking of speed! Now that to me is pure joy to use. I can dam near blow it off when it's dried. Nice a$$ results also!
    I swear resupplying product to me is like buying new underwear. NO GLAMOUR
    I just saw the prices. It's really a no brainier if your using almost 32oz a month. $50 for 32oz and $150 gallon. So basically buy 3 get 1 free!

    Nice breakdown!

    Right now, my volume is good with just the 32oz bottles. Hope it changes though!

    I do use it at work too. Right now I bring my own, but I'm going to have the boss order me a bottle or two.

    I have the 65 Oz jugs of the Optimun polishes. I didn't realize how little you use of their products. Probably going to off them. I use 3D more often anyways.

    Prices won't be going down anytime soon. I would order the gallon if you can swing it. Justify by telling yourself your hedging against inflation

    The 3D ONE covers so many bases for me though. I find it fun to use. Makes me look forward to going to work!
    Out of 3D ACA 500 or 510/Sonax Ultimate Cut 6 Plus and Cuttmax and anything you would recommend-grab for the worst correction job your faced with what would you prefer Dic?

    Well, I'm probably shifting to an independent contractor. I need to find a way out of having to apply those ceramic coatings. Every time I do a car with them it's a complete disaster. Plus, I can charge a little more and have time to tend to much business at home.

    A 510 since I'm down on that and also grabbed a 32 oz of the Ultimate Cut 6. I also found a detail Body Shop supplier on the other side of the coast and I noticed from there narrowed selection and mostly only available in gallons that they stock the most favorable lines. They had 3D One and Speed only and carried 3M Perfect it in 1, 2 and 3 I have 2 and wish I had 1 to put it head to head with what we are talking about. I did grab 3D ONE in a gallon from them and saved me $25 which was the best price anywhere! So now I get to try a new compound. Ultimate Cut 6

    Ask for a sample. 3M makes great compounds
