could you tell me which is the best AIO for you? someone said the s3 xxl and someone the 3d adapt. What about fg400? It's not considered an AIO but can we compare it to these products?
FG 400 cannot be considered an AIO, although, sometimes it can finish as an AIO; it is a cutting compound with nice finishing properties.
I'm a big fan of Menzerna 3in1, but I tested HD Adapt and I was impressed with it.
In fact, the whole HD line is fantastic, too bad it is very expensive where I live.
I also liked the 3D Rubbing Compound AAT, it cut more than FG400, it cut 1200 grit in a test panel with hard clearcoat. Amazing stuff, it cuts so much that it can be considered dangerous.
I also went to a 3D workshop, it was a wonderful time because it was held on Tato's Studio, we were able to play around with 3D line of products.
I tried 3D Polishing Compound AAT as well, it worked fine even with microfiber pad on a rotary, a very versatile compound, it cuts and polishes, depending on your choice of polishers and pads.
Before I knew 3D, I had the wrong impression that their line would be not up to Menzerna, but it is. I'm a big Menzerna fan, but you need to have an open mind regarding everything in life, and be able to change your mindset accordingly.
About the Scholl line, I have never tried, but people I trust who tried says it is really good, a bit more finicker, they tell me Scholl compounds have a steeper learning curve.
So, 3D Adapt and Menzerna 3in1 are both excellent products, but remember that any AIO presents difficult panel removal, it is oily, it leaves a film residue, probably due to longer working time thus particle breaking and wax in its formula. If the paint is too soft it will scratch a bit during removal.
Polishing compounds are like point and shoot videogame, you have several weapons that you choose according to the objective, the difficulty you have at the present level.
Thank you for reading this far, and all the best.
