Some inital thoughts on Carpro new Clear Cut Compound

[zmcgovern45]

Never liked fixer or reflect. Both are not forgiving; will stick to paint and not finish correctly. Too sensitive for my taste. I really have no desire to try this compound. Also, the backwards technique is just weird to me. However, some people may really like it.

I haven't used Fixer, but I have spent a lot of time with Reflect (and Essence). Initially I could not get decent results with Reflect to save my life. It would mar the finish almost every time and was a pain to use... I was using it like I would use M205.

After speaking with Corey, I found out my technique was my issue. Different products require different processes. After learning the proper process to use with Reflect (and Essence), we absolutely loved the product. I was able to polish a car quicker, use less product, and finish down perfectly in most instances. It is also one of the easiest polishes to wipe that I have ever used, when used properly.

I do still use M205 quite often, but my point is simply all it took for me to go from hate to love was a little coaching. I try to keep this in mind whenever I purchase a new product and am struggling to get the best results with it. Sometimes it is as easy as making a minor tweak to completely change the results.

Never had any issues with Fixer and Reflect on all types of pads,polishers and paints. CarPro’s abrasives work faster needing fewer passes resulting in massive time savings on a correction job.

Will you share the technique with reflect please? I have this and will use it in the spring and it would be helpfull with some coaching.

Have you tried with less product on the pad with clear cut compound?

If you could send that PM my way, I would appreciate it. I have three tubes of Reflect that are just sitting. Would love to use it.

You can find my review, which includes my tips on how to use the product, on that other detailing site that I work for. If you need more assistance, don’t hesitate to PM me.

Zach is absolutely right about using the proper technique for a given product. No two women are the same...you don't treat them that way either, LOL.

I wonder how it compares to my best "rocks in a bottle" which is Shine Supply Chop Top?
