Would love to see a head to head comparison between those two and Cut/Polish

I see so much love for HD Speed (it deserves it) and I`m just sitting here waiting for everyone to realize how great 3D AAT Rubbing Compound and AAT Finishing Polish are. Hopefully one day they`ll be available in a smaller size...

I believe you, and they better be at that price. At the moment what i have seems to be working for me and once I feel the need to step it up, these will be one of my choices to try out.

Never had an issue with speed in direct sunlight, even on a hot summer day with no clouds on a black car. Always wipes right off and doesn`t dry up. Amazing product. I`ve used it on at least 10 cars over the summer and it always performed great!

I`m planning on documenting a comparison test with video on a black panel. I won`t have time to do it for a couple of weeks but I`ll have it finished ASAP.

Me too. Being an enthusiast with limit chances to do this stuff, i certainly dont need to buy more polish and the price is a tad too tall for me. If theyre better than polish, cut and adapt, that says a lot though.

It does say a lot! I`ve done a lot of undocumented testing for myself but I`ll be happy to post the results of a comparison test in the near future. I`ve put up the AAT combo against a lot of different abrasives on black paint under intense inspection lights

Easiest way to see how they compare is to sand a panel with 1500 grit paper and you`ll see that AAT cuts quicker hands down. I did demos all weekend @ SEMA like this.

Any chance we will see 16 oz bottles of the AAT products?? 32 ozs is a bit much for us weekend detailers.

The AAT line is primarily sold to/ purchased by body shops and unfortunately they only demand quarts & gallons. i don`t think management is willing to add another size to the market anytime soon. Sorry.

Maybe a group buy on a gallon or quart?

David--When using a long throw DA (G15) should the AAT Polish and Compound be used like most other 3D/HD polishes using the "less is more" philosophy--ie 4-5 pea sized drops to prime and 2-3 pea sized drops for following sections??

If it is that good, I do not see why PBMG could not sell a smaller version. Or, it could show up as a private label brand.

Given other products that are in 16 oz sixes (think 16 oz 3D pink soap where the dilution is 1 oz per gallon), the rationale is strange.

Absolutely. You don`t need a lot of product and like all other 3D/HD products priming isn`t recommended. You`ll want to swap out pads regularly too.

If PBMG is willing to bottle this product into smaller portions more power to them. Again, please keep in mind that the main customer for the AAT line is the body shop industry. They just don`t buy small bottles of polishing compounds.
