Review: 3D ONE Hybrid Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Have you compared it to Rupes UHS?

Not directly but I have used the UHS system and don't really like it. I would reach for this over the bottle of UHS I have on my shelf.

Gotcha. I have great success with UHS and like it. I'll hopefully have a Black Tesla in a couple weeks to do a side by side on. I have a blue Honda that I will compare some things on later next week too.

I'm not a fan of the UHS pads. They're very stiff. I never really gave it a chance though. Used it for maybe 15 minutes on one panel and put it back on the shelf. I should get it out again and try it on the Mille. Roughly, how many passes do you make on your average 2' x 2' panel?

Number of passes will vary based on the amount of correction targeted and of course the particular vehicle. Generally speaking however, I have found 3-4 passes is all I need with my Mille. I overlap each pass 50% thus each area is getting pretty well covered. I vary my arm speed depending on results as well. The UHS Pads soften up pretty quickly.

I'll give the system a shot on my next vehicle that comes in then. I appreciate the response!

I agree that once those pads break in, UHS is very easy to use.

So this stuff is the poo? What is the general consensus on best pad for long throw and for forced rotation? Thanks.

So far, I've used it with Meguiar's MF cutting pads, B&S MF finishing pads, B&S maroon low-pro pads, CarPro gloss pads and surely forgetting others. But it's very subjective as in what type of vehicle, age of clear coat and how bad the finish is to begin with. My go-to pads while using it now are the B&S maroon low-pro's on my Mille. Great cutting ability and finishes down very well. Hope this helps even a little bit.

I tested Griots CC and ONE on a Rupes yellow wool pad, side by side. CC finished WAY better. One thing though that I’m not sure made a difference, I primed the CC pad, I did not prime the ONE pad. Going to re test priming both.

How did the cut compare for you?
