If Boss FAST Correcting cream is used, can you then skip directly to Boss Perfecting Cream with good results, or should there be another polish step in between. For now let's assume the car is black.

Thanks in advance!

Absolutely. Heck, not too long ago I corrected a black Infiniti sedan with Fast Correcting Cream and went straight to lsp! Lol.

FCC is a compound that finishes down like a fine polish. I was actually stunned. Thought I was missing something or in the wrong light. Nope.
 
I usually like to start off my test spot using these LC HD Orbital Foam Polishing Pads. They’re labeled as polishing but when paired with a long stroke DA they’re quite capable if and when you need them to be, especially on OEM paint.

I polished this vehicle with Megs D166, but when it came time to do the hood it had some pretty heavy marring & swirls. I was running a bit long on the job and decided to cut to the chase and reached straight for McKee’s Fast Compound [which is very comparable to Griots Fast Correcting Cream] .... Straight to lsp.

I buffed this whole car with the regular Correcting Cream w/those orange pads and went straight to lsp. But if I would’ve needed to use Fast Correcting Cream, I have no doubt I would’ve had the same results.

Yes, no, it depends! :)

If you're OCD like me, and use a Microfiber Cutting Pad with the the FCC, then "my eyes" will tell micro-marring and will drive me insane!!! If I'm working with the BOSS White Pad, or BOSS Orange pad, you should be fine. For pretty bad swirls & scratches, I like to use the white pad (GG's most aggressive foam pad) because it finishes off very nicely. It cuts faster than orange, not as fast as Microfiber, but it finishes down really nice.

The "it depends" part is really on the paint itself. You're only true way of telling is to perform the all famous TEST SPOT!

Once again, Paul kicks my a$$ with his description.......................:props:
 
How would you say BOSS FCC compares to Megs M205 in terms of cutting and correcting ability? I did look at the Autogeek Abrasive Comparison Chart. BOSS products were not listed. They (Autogeek) should consider revising that chart periodically as this segment of the market is often changing.

I’d say it’s on par with McKee’s Fast Correcting Compound, or whatever it’s called now. In other words, way more cutting ability than M205 when the actual gloves come off and you need to actually cut. M205 has some cutting ability, but beyond the normL stuff it’s intended for, any “cutting” with it usually involves just simply doing too much....

For example you could technically mow your lawn with a weed wacker, but why not quit foolin around and get the dang lawn mower out? Lol.

Hey Eldorado2K! My mistake. I meant to ask how does BOSS FCC compare to Megs M105, not M205 which is a finishing polish. Sorry for my confusion.

Every paint is different and of course do a test spot to get your desired results. I have on many occasions used FCC the refined with their Finishing sealant (which is an AIO) and called it a day. Again depends on the paint.

It’s near to it, but I still consider M105 to be the king of cut on my shelf with McKee’s Fast Compound in 2nd, followed by Griots FCC. The reason I put the McKee’s above the Griots has alot to do with the consistency of the product. It’s a thick robust paste the way a cutting compound outta be. The Boss Creams have a weird way of changing consistency from thick to runny depending on temps and I dunno maybe it’s just in my head but I tend to lose a bit of faith whenever I see it pour out on the runny side. McKee’s Compound has never let me down in that way or any other way. It’s a solid choice in my book. You should try it.

I love FCC with the exception it can be hard to wipe off. Does McKees compound wipe off easier?

IME they both wipe off easily. I’ve never had the Boss Creams become hard to wipe off.

You know, I think temperature definitely is playing a role with the BOSS creams. I have seen this characteristic too. In my experience though, the performance is unaffected. I have yet to come across any other polish that is easier to use or finishes better than the BOSS creams, and no dusting!!
At the moment, I think I am inclined to leave Meguiars in favor of Griot's BOSS product line. I am a little conflicted in that Meguiars has been the old reliable go-to for so many years. It is also relatively inexpensive and readily available anywhere. Tough choices.

Because I don't have much experience with the BOSS system beyond trying it on my own car. I was looking for a much more broad opinion, a consensus on what other detailers with a wide detailing range thought. I don't want to commit to buying into a product line only to find out later that it may fall short of my needs. I'm still researching, but I am really liking what I am finding on the BOSS line.
 
I have found that he BOSS polishes are affected by high humidity. They become a bit runny and act gummy on the paint.
 
I recently used BOSS Perfecting on a hot and humid day. Yes, it was runny, but no, it wasn't gummy on the paint.
