I haven't seen much on these products as far as reviews.

Just wondering if anybody has experience with these products and if so, do they have a lot of polishing oils in them?

Thanks
 
Great products, flat top can finish LSP ready, but on high side as far as cost
 
Great products and customer support. Not overly-hyped marketing and simple products that create good results. I've been satisfied with everything I've used by them.
 
Prices aint all that high. In line with meguairs as far as the compounds/polishes go
 
I'd put their pricing (for compound/polishes only) in line with Menzerna stuff. FG400 16oz retails around $26.99, Flat Top 16 oz retails $29.99. SF4000 16oz retails around $26.99, whereas Classic Polish retails $18.00.

So there are savings versus other vendors and companies, but again, valuable product regardless. Flat Top, along with FG400, is a game changer.
 
Ok, i have never used Flat Top, am using FG400 and HD cut. Where does Flat Top fsll in with those 2?
 
I cannot speak for HD Cut as I have never used it. In most of the circumstances that I have used Flat Top, it has cut better and finished great. I have had FG400 finish a little better for me in some instances, but there are still a lot of factors that play into that. I love both compounds equally, I probably wouldn't pick one over the other. Flat Top, though, does tend to cut a little better with MF discs. I had an issue or two with FG400 clogging a MF disc, but always worked well with a foam cutting pad.

M101 is $58 for 32oz twice as much for just shy of double the price
heck look at the wolfgang products $30 for 8oz now that expensive but well worth it

This. Comparing Flat Top to M105 isn't necessarily a good match, Flat Top to M101/FG400/Uber is.

Exactly, I just looked them up. I'll take HD products all day long, half the price and great result. Here's two rides I did with HD Speed and Poxy in the past 2 weeks. Did the BMW yesterday. The Camaro two weeks ago. Why pay twice as much when you can get results like this for half the price? Plus you can get the 32oz HD products for the same price as their 16oz.



 
+1 for Jeremy's products. Love all compounds and polishes from his brand.
 
I've used flat top, classic cut, and classic polish and have had only great results with them as far as cut and finish.

Like those who've used them have said, even the most aggressive Flat Top can finish LSP ready on most finishes.

And to answer my own question in my OP, they don't really leave much of any fillers or oils.
 
I'm really intrigued to try these out. How's dusting of flat top compared to something like M101 or M105, what about smell?

It dusts some...however it is very comparable to M101. Where it shines for me is it leaves most hard paints LSP ready.

Why is this important to me? I work on mainly Benzs with ceramiclear, VW/Audis, and wetsanded refinished vehicles. This makes slight work for me on harder clears and removing sanding marks with a DA.

Smell is very similar to M101/FG400/Uber. Cut is there just like the products mentioned...I just enjoy the experience more with FT. Try it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
 
I use Shine Supplies compounds and polishes exclusively and I will say they are the best ive ever used. I actually switched from Menzerna to them. I also use alot of their other products with great results. In fact there isnt a product from SS that I havent liked. Jeremy and Jared are also awesome people and the shipping and support is top notch.
