    Compound Aggressiveness Scale

    From a scale of 1 - 10 how aggressive is the 3M rubbing compound opposed to the Meguiars compound?
    Anybody care to chime in on their preferred compound would be great.

    Thank You

    I thought the same thing when I read of your preference several days ago. I can use this product, but I'd rather not if I had a choice.

    The only reason I use it is because that is all I know. Slowly stepping away from the Production Detailing I was taught.

    I am not for or against 3M. But if I see a car I can tell you instantly if it can be restored or fixed/blended etc by me... With the Materials I use.

    I got asked a question about a car. "I told them it can't be fully restored by me but I can blend it so it becomes less noticeable.

    Paint was gone all the way to the metal.

    I told them that I think all they can do is repaint it. Or have someone that specializes in it diagnose it.

    That's the reason I came to AGO...to step up my game. Get my weight up.

    Edit: Also doesn't hurt to find products with less non desirable by products such as dusting, and ease of use.

    You could always adjust the aggressiveness by switching different pads. Yeah I do that

    I used 3M compound with the orange pad and felt really nice for the fading clear coat on the green car I did

    I have the yellow pad but haven't used it. I'm assuming it might only be necessary for when I color sand.

    What would I gain if I switched to Meguiars 105...?

    Adjusting the pad seems more simpler if I could achieve the same results with the specific compound I choose.

    Also trying to gain more weight!
