I`ve used it on several vehicles. I`m on my second 16oz bottle. I would highly recommend it.
I have never posted a thorough review since it`s not sold here, however.

512detail,
Can you go from cutting to finish out or do you have to follow with a polish.
Thanks in advance

Well of course that depends on lots of factors, but there are people who can do that. I have been able do that on some paint finishes with certain pads and speeds.
You can go to the internet and find people with videos using this product who seem to be able to do so.
I generally always use a finishing polish but I`m just crazy like that.
I realize that you have to use different pads and speeds.
I now Use Optimum Hyper Polish and finish with Optimum GPS. Do you think I would gain anything by substituting The Last Cut for Hyper Polish?
Thanks in advance

if you are still going to do both steps, probably not.. you might get some more cut or longer working time out of the last cut (but I`ve never used OPT polishes so I can`t really compare)
you might also use this and realize you really like it, as a lot of folks have, including myself.
The only thing I can compare this product to that I`ve used very much of as well is Polish Angel Master Compound

It’s a very new product, or at least had no real market presence until just recently. The maker is sold out, as is rag co (16 oz), and my local shop carries it and said they just got it in and sold out in a week. Give it some time and more people will have experiences to share. Or, as soon as there is supply just buy a bottle and try it out; it’s not a huge expense to take a flyer on.

I`m on my third 32oz. bottle of TLC. Jace is about the nicest guy you`ll meet but the truth is that even if he was a prick I`d still use TLC. It`s that good. It`s easily the best 1-step compound I`ve used and it`s surprising to me that Jace was able to produce a compound that allows microfiber cutting pads to stay cool and not clog up the fibers which even leading compounds like D300, FG400, M100, and even Scholl`s S3 GoldXXL will do. This is a bold claim but I honestly think it`s twice as good as Fast Correcting Cream which is pretty incredible for those of us that use and love FCC. I`ve used nearly every single compound on the market and there really is nothing that compares to it. It`s great on Rotary with wool, Long-throw and microfiber, and virtually and foam pad I`ve tried it on. It works on the hardest paints and the softest. It cleans out of pads incredibly easy and smells amazing. It`s from the future.haha

I have a 16oz bottle that I purchased due to all the great reviews from the guys on social media. I have not had a chance to crack it open and use it just yet but I hear nothing but great things. If you are not sure you could always pick up a smaller bottle to try out.

I pre ordered a bottle to try out. I don`t really have a go to compound, unless I`m using my rotary then it`s HD Cut+.

If you are used to HD Cut+ then you are in for a treat!

Great! Do you use this with a rotary as well, or just DA?

It`s FANTASTIC on rotary. It`s lubricating oils make using TLC run incredibly cool when paired with a lambswool or Foamed Wool buffing pads. I just used it today on my Dewalt 849x and the Lake Country 6" Lambswool cutting pads. Let us know what your experience is. TLC has the ease of use of a finishing polish like HD Polish+ except it cuts like a heavy compound. It`s really remarkable how versatile it is.

I missed the part about the rotary in your first post. Looking forward to trying it. With foam FCC is probably my most used compound and I do like that. The HD Cut+ with my rotary. It will be great if this product can replace both of those, or better yet allow me to narrow down my compounds to two or three. Looking forward to trying it. I didn`t see a 32 oz bottle, I`ll have to look again.

Just watched a video of a detailer here in Dallas testing it against Jescar. What a joke, only used it on one type of paint, using one machine, and only one type of pad and he comes to the conclusion that Jescar is a better compound?? Wow

Yeah, he`s allowed to have his own opinions but I use both compounds and TLC cuts more, finishes better, doesn`t leave behind nearly as many oils on the paint as jescar. They both work well on rotary but TLC works better on DA`s and long-throw polishers IMO.
Some of the reasons he said Jescar was better were
1. The lubrication oils were more "pristine".
-I honestly don`t understand how he possibly came to this conclusion. The lubricating oils in TLC are unlike anything I`ve personally used. They work well on virtually every type of paint that I`ve used it on which includes single stage lacquer, enamel, soft sticky japanese clear and hard as rocks german clears.
2. Because TLC smells great and isn`t white like jescar TLC it`s not really meant for professionals
-Plenty of compounds Scott uses, like Fast Correcting Cream smell great. Companies like Griot`s and 3D HD have proven that polishes and compounds can smell good and perform at the same level as other "professional" compounds.
3. TLC stains pads
-TLC is known for being incredibly easy to remove from pads and for many of us has actually extended the life of our pads.
Honestly, I think Scott would have a completely different outlook if he was one of the first guys to review or praise TLC. I like him and watch his videos but I think he was pretty far off base in that review.

It works great, easy on and off, good working time and gives a wide range of cut/finish depending on pads and tools used.
Been using it a good deal since it came out but I must say that my last attempt at buying a gallon was $200 with shipping. It ain`t that good.

Have anyone test to switch pad under a set when useing TLC? For example start with a foam wool pad and do 2-3 passes and switch to a rupes yellow foam pad and work thrue the set. I have seen more and more testing this. And you don`t need to switch pad you can go from a rotary polisher to a da polisher. If you have pad conditioner or since TLC is so well lubricated you might not need to do that. The thought about it as think you understand is to take advantage of the cutting ability with a coarse cutting pad and to finish best way possible use a light polish pad or a finishing pad. I think it`s hard part is to dial in the process and know when to switch. But with some testing and experience you might get even more out of TLC. I have tac system ultra Refinish which claims to cut up to p600 and finish down to p12000. Will be doing some testing with this when winter is over. The one step compounds is often more expensive than others.
How is TLC compared to Scholl s20 Black ss and s2 Black ss? I don`t know if Scholl s1 has reached the US yet but there is one step compound which have a very high cut. And is used on rock hard clearcoats and very bad medium hard clearcoats.
