As a side note.....D300, paired with their MF pads has got to be the easiest cutting combination I know of. It`s what I give to me newbie detailers when they`re just starting out or friends that want to work on their cars.

JustJesus- Heh heh, sounds like some of my [crap] is registering with you :D
David Fermani- Heh heh#2, those "easiest cutting combos" might be kinda risky in the wrong (e.g., uninformed/neophyte/newbie?) hands, for the reasons we were discussing on that "Hours" thread ;) Back when minor correction via PC took all afternoon, it was harder to overthin the paint (and back then, yeah..I was [griping] about that too).
That`s a great compound for all the reasons you mention, Mr. Fermani!
I always thought it delivered a very nice cut, and was very easy to work with.
There was one or two occasions where I needed to grab the M100 for some turbo boost, but D300 was always easier to work with.
Funny you post about D300 now, I just used it on a new 4Runner this week. Always loved the smell, but I noticed it doesn`t finish quite as well on newer cars than it did when it first came out. It could also be that my gallon of D300 is a couple years old, not sure.
RZJZA80- I`d be surprised if it`s gone bad after just a few years; *all* of my [abrasive products] are a lot older than that and they all work same as when new.
Also..just FWIW, I`ve never had *ANY* aggressive abrasive finish out OK. I don`t even like how M205 finishes though, so maybe I`m, uhm...different :o
When D300 first came out it finished down very well on most paints, but noticed it leaves some hazing behind on new cars nowadays. M205 I`ve noticed the same thing. Both of those I`ve had gallons of it for a few years now though since I use GG BOSS polishes the majority of the time now.
You know now that I think about it, I used a GG6 most of the time when D300 came out, and GG21/15 the past few years, so that may be the difference, it just works better with a short throw than a long throw polisher.
Ah, I suspect we`re not quite on the same page, that might explain our differing takes on this...
I`m absolutely *NOT* talking about anything as severe as visible "hazing", not even close to literal "micromarring"; things look fine until I do side-by-side comparisons in the right lighting, but when I *do* those comparisons, even my wife can always say "that side looks better/worse".
3D One smells great too, I think Griot`s smells even better! Boss Correcting Cream got me a slightly more cut, but not quite as high of a finish, and wipeoff is not as good as Sonax Perfect Finish. Correcting Cream can still get close to Perfect Finish`s gloss numbers out of the glossmeter, but Perfect Finish delivers peak numbers consistently on my test panel.
Loach- Ah, thanks for that comparison! As somebody who`s never tried anything from Sonax, and was leaning towards the GG next time, I definitely appreciate your comparison between it and the BOSS CC.
