No comment about Menzerna 400...
However, I have something else to add.
:: Out of respect for this person, I won’t mention names::
A very reliable source mentioned that during the development phase of Rapid Cut Compound, they had most definitely used Meguiar’s M100/M101 as one of the benchmark products.
As I previously mentioned, I come from a background of heavy use of M100 last year.
This calls for a long term review at the end of this season. Only time will tell if this continues to be the case as I plan on constant used of it for sure.
But for the short time that I used it, I noticed that I was easily impressed and can say that this product definitely satisfies my every desire in a compound as a professional detailer.

I don’t doubt that you’ll enjoy it. If you don’t, oopsie!
The only thing I will apologize to anyone for is giving you another reason to spend more money.

My knowledge of this product is that it can still dust under certain circumstances. So I’m not surprised there.
Based on my weather snapshot, I may have just been fortunate in my case. IDK really.

No comparison, Clear Cut has all Menzerna compounds beat. Fixer is more of a comparison in cut to 400.

Re: Initial Testing Thoughts: Carpro Rapid Cut Compound
Clear cut has an EASY wipe off, good cut(there are better), finish isn’t that great. I won’t be buying it again.

Makes sense. I was a big M101 user and have since put it aside for ClearCut. With a Flex 3401 and a Purple wool pad with just a few passes this G8's finish went from this, to this nice of a result. From there it was just a few simple passes with a light polish on a white Hybrid Force Pad to bring it to an awesome shine.

Looking forward to testing it out and comparing it to Menzerna compounds myself. I have a fairly well dialed-in process for testing compounds and they either work great! Or not.

And whatever happened to Fixer?

Re: Initial Testing Thoughts: Carpro Rapid Cut Compound
I just checked the CarPro USA site and they are still selling Fixer and Reflect. Not sure why AG has dropped them. I’m still waiting for Gliss to show up here.

Re: Initial Testing Thoughts: Carpro Rapid Cut Compound
I just want to go off topic a bit:
As much as I regularly use my Rupes LHR21 mk II, I ADORE the Flex Finisher.
Testing out the product was awesome, but I forget how SMOOTH and CAPABLE The Finisher is.
