Review: 3D Paint Coating and 3D One Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish

The Guz said:
Mike in the compound video there was mention that 3D One may not need a prep wipe prior to applying the 3D coating. I do agree that 3D One is oil heavy maybe the correct word would be lubricant heavy which is why I have used a panel wipe to remove it.

Could Tunch confirm that 3D One needs or doesn't need a panel wipe prior to the 3D coating.

He does say to use it. It's at 25:15 in the video

Correct. I think this is one reason he introduced his product,

How would you rate 3D one in terms of Cut/Finish on a scale of 1 to 10?

3D one can remove 1500grit sanding marks is what they claim. That would make it probably a 8.5/10 on cut. But note thats with a aggressive cutting pad. To finish out you would probably have to use a less aggressive pad.

3D one can cut that's for sure but i don't consider it a 1 step/pad product. Unless you wanted to just do a light polish of course. If you use its cutting ability be prepared to swamp out to polishing/finishing pads.

Hopefully, Mike or someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

As you can see from the date stamps, I helped Tunch/3D test their version of a ceramic coating for many years. Tunch was extremely adamant about only introducing a coating to the market if it could perform as well or better than the what was already in place. No better life experience than to work hand and hand with the owner of a chemical company who is also a chemist/inventor.

Thanks for chiming in David.

I always liked the approach of the 3D products, and have yet to try a coating product.

If this is one of the easier ones to use, maybe I'll finally give a coating a try

I tried their tire dressing on a 2006 Toyota Sequoia I detailed today.

I machine scrubbed the tires with Tuf Shine and the cordless PE14 and then machine applied the dressing to the tires and then wiped them to a matte finish. I think it worked really good.

It is rather easy to apply. I have used a it a couple of times and it is not the most hydrophobic coating. It tends to sheet especially slowly as the panel is flooded. It is also rather tacky. Based on my experience with it, I won't be using it again. It also lacks in self cleaning compared to other coatings. Friend of mine has has the same experience as myself. The nice thing is that it can be topped with a second layer I believe within 30 minutes.

The suede applicators included in the kit are junk. Toss them in the trash and use better ones.
 
3D One is an outstanding polish! Works well with foam and MF pads. I haven't had good luck with it when using Rupes Yellow Wool.
