    Cut is kind of a medium cut compound with a very long work time. Finishes nice but won`t cut the really nasty stuff. Work time provides flexibility, though

    The AAT provides max cut, and does it FAST. Two passes on the rotary and you`re done. Won`t let you work it much more than 2 passes, 3 max. But that`s all you need. Also, the AAT is bodyshop safe.

    both cut and 501 are body shop safe. Cut is far more user friendly while 501 has a bit more cut and a significantly shorter working time. Both compounds can be a nightmare to remove especially on softer paint

    I had trouble removing 501 on very soft Harley paint, however HD Cut wiped off effortlessly on the same Harley.

    502 is an animal, so far the best single step I`ve used. And both 501 and 502 work extremely fast.

    As stated above, cut is a very user friendly compound more on the lighter side of cutting ability for a compound. 501 is very aggressive and great for the very nasty stuff
