I am looking for something with a little more defect removing ability than OC with my rotary. I have OC and IP And SSR 2.5. How does the Extreme cut stack up against OC, IP, and Clearkote Cutting cream. I have been hearing more about the HT extreme cut and it has interested me. I just dont want to buy it if what I have will work just as good.
What would you rather use for oxidation and heavy swirls? Extreme Cut or OC, IP, Clearkote cutting cream.

Extreme cut without a doubt...I would go for the $12 bottle they sell, it is a great deal. If you have a little optimum polish to mix with it on the pad even better. I have IP and OC, and did have OHC and PG. Nothing else can touch Extreme cut in my opinion..it finishes down great.
I would definately pick some up, you wont be disappointed

Its the best i have used.. period.
It can cut the worst of defects and finish with just a slight haze easily cleaned up by some menzerna FPII. Sean (g35stilez) and I use the following combo on pretty much every car with more than moderate swirling.
HTEC/OPT polish 50-50 @1500 rpm via light cut or cutting pad
Menzerna FPII or BLackfire SRC finishing polish via finishing or finessing pad @1200-1500.
Like I said its the best I have used and the price is also great.

High Temp EC will blow the rest out of the water, period. Get some, you will not be dissapointed.

Couldn`t agree more, 95% of the vehicles that I see receive this exact treatment.

Ditto here too. I`ve used the G35stilez `Un-Compound` mix on my past 4 details, and I`m sold. I`ve been pre-mixing 8oz bottles 50/50 cut with Optimum polish. No dust, excellent cutting ability, and this compound mix doesn`t gum up your pads to high he**.

That MBZ is likely SS paint and soft. I`d use something mild like #80 to start. You`ll likely be surprised by what you find under the oxidation.

So is this (http://www.topoftheline.com/32ozexcutpow.html) the exact product that you guys are ordering?
I just want to make sure that I am getting the right product in the HT line. Thanks!

Thanks! Just checking with a friend that has some OP to see if he wants to swap 50/50. If not I will get some of that too.

How does HT Extreme compare to PG or 1Z IP/HGP? Depending on humidity and temperature, I generally experience very little hazing if any.
