Yea, they’re 2 totally different products as 1 is a compound and 1 is a finishing polish.
Correcting Cream works good at removing moderate defects and can finish lsp ready in most cases.
I’ve only used Optimum Hyper Polish once, this past week on my own car and there’s something about this polish.. I’m convinced there’s a good amount of polishing oils or whatever term people want to use I don’t really care, all I know is this polish produced a shine that doesn’t come from just removing defects [keep in mind there weren’t many defects to be removing]
To my eyes, this Hyper Polish left an extraordinary gloss on the paint. It made a good 1st impression as a finishing polish.

What Paul said. I've used it on our Audis after Fast Correcting and Correcting Cream with the idea of trying to "jewel up" the paint a bit - but with hard clear and the lighting I was working with I really didn't notice a big difference. Both FCC and CC were finishing down well enough they didn't need chasers.
That being said, I could 100% believe a situation where a car with tricky soft paint would benefit from Perfecting Cream.
Truth be told, I did a lot of hand wringing and dollar crunching while debating about buying each one, but now that I've got them I'm glad to have each one to turn to if I need it. They're really great to use.

Speaking of buying all three, I’m wondering if a product like TW 1 And Done would be more economical since you only have to buy one product and it changes abrasiveness based on pad choice. Or do you think I could get the same flexibility out of just buying BOSS CC (for example) and using different pads to achieve different levels of abrasiveness?

Re: Inside Griot's Garage
They should really make a sample pack. Little 4 oz bottles of all 3.

I've wondered the same thing. I recently bought Griot's Boss fast acting cream and correcting cream. I have Lake Country orange and white pads I'll be using.
I'm hoping this is enough for removing some scratches and what appears to be a bird bomb.

Full confession, I haven't done any reading on the TW 1 and Done, but I would bet you'd get very similar flexibility out of the Correcting Cream. Don't quote me on this, but I thought the biggest difference between say FCC and CC was the abrasive load used, not the abrasive size that was used.
For the BOSS line the color matched liquids/pads are just a recommended starting point.

I believe you’re correct. My understanding is that FCC, CC, and PC all use the same size submicron abrasive, just with varying load in the suspension.

That would be amazing. I’ve been going back and forth for a while on which to buy because they’re all around $20 each. That’s $60 to have a full set. A sample/starter BOSS Cream set would be great! We should bring it up on their next livestream

Nah, just grab the 16oz bottles. You won't be disappointed.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
