Modern compounds sure are nice! :)

Griot's Garage Fast Correcting Cream and standard Correcting Cream are absolutely amazing. After using both for a month I don't know what I would do without them.
 
That's kind of how I feel about M100. That stuff finishes surprisingly well for the level of cut it gives me.
 
I had a feeling you were talking about those 2 Boss Cremes when I read the title of this thread. I know that feel:)

Forget M105, always been a fan of M100/M205 when using Meg's. Stuff finishes great for a cut.
 
The most advanced compound on the market.

1.Cuts amazing
2.Works like a wet finishing polish
3.Can work as long as you want it and still continues to cut.
4. No dusting
5.finishes awesome
6. Easy wipe off
7. Smells good
8. Little goes a long way

Second to none. I ordered 2 gallons of this sorcery liquid.

I can't imagine any compound getting more advanced than this, if so that is a scary thought.

FAST CORRECTING CREAM IS THE REAL DEAL.

Absolutely.

That M100 surprised me the first time I used it. It's like Ultimate Compound on steroids, yet seems to finish better if that makes any sense. I refer to M100 as "the eraser"!
 
Seems like we're talking mostly about Griots or Meguiars products here in this thread, but Wolfgang Uber Compound is another daisy of a product that works a little more aggressively than a finishing polish, yet finishes down beautifully, pretty much indistinguishable from Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover.
 
I'll add Blackfire SRC Compound as well. It is probably more like a strong swirl remover than a true compound, but on hard VW paint with a white LC Flat Pad, it will easily finish out LSP ready
 
Totally agree with the fast correcting cream and all of the BOSS polishes being top notch!

One of my other favorite combos is FG400 and sf4000. Especially when using my rotary.
 
Detailers have it so easy today...

15, 20 years ago you actually had to be good at this type of work because the abrasive technology was so horrible.

With modern compounds, which is another way of saying MODERN ABRASIVE TECHNOLOGY - heck anyone can get professional results their first time.

I would caution people that if you're using a sharp, aggressive foam cutting pad or any type of fiber pad with a compound even if the results look GREAT if you were to wash or chemically strip the paint you would likely see dull and hazy areas simply due to the pad and the aggressiveness of the "process".

You won't see the dull hazy paint on light colored cars but you will on black paint and common sense dictates that if it's happening to clearcoated black cars it's happening to clearcoated light colored cars you eyes just can't see it.

So it's a good idea to follow any heavy compounding step with at least one more polishing step to ensure there is no haze left in the paint.


Take my word for it I know that which I speak of...

Could not agree more with Joe's comments... Great stuff! Checks all of the boxes including price!

True dat. In the case of Griot's Fast Correcting Cream, following up with Griot's Perfecting Cream takes a good thing and makes it even better!

I hear brotha. Most of us here wish we knew half of what you know. Just messin' with ya. :kiss: :cheers: :bowdown: :laughing: :-)

As far as the topic you linked to. I had already read that, the poll, and your thoughts. When I first read the poll question the first thing that popped into my head was----Seems to me based on ones skill level would dictate the performance one would obtain from the compound/polish they were using. I'm a noob though...so...*shrug*

+1 agreed. I was using Correcting cream and white pad, when I switched it to the MF pad, I saw that grey/haze left over from that pad on the black paint I was working on. Since it was supposed to be a AIO job, I switched back to the white pad.

Absolutely love the BOSS system as well. Extremely easy to work with and wipe off is a breeze. I basically get LSP ready results. But other honorable mentions for me is m100, m101, and fg400.
