Looking for 3M FCP, cant find it in the US. Anyone know who sells it here? Im also looking for the new 3M FCP green cutting pad to go along with it.

Rydawg has it and I spoke with him on the phone about it. He claims that it is absolute garbage and has a LOT of filling action.



He said that it took 5-7 wipedowns with straight alcohol to get it to release, but it looked like a body shop compound.

I was told/under the impression that the new 3M polishes like FCP do not fill, I know that is not the case with the older versions of 3M stuff though. I saw some of Clark from Polished Bliss' recent work and he used 3M FCP with great results he and seems to really like it (used in conjunction with the FCP green foam pad). I have only used Ultrafina from 3M so I cant comment on their cutting polishes. I'd like to know if FCP really does fill. But if Rydawg says it fills than I believe him.
 
I tried Fast cut plus and 80349 extra fine compound.



The FCP is an aggresive compound that cuts great, but smells very bad like kerosene, dusts like crazy (just like PG). The Extra Cut 06060 US is way better. I waited to try this stuff for a long time and was dissapointed.



The 80349 EFC is a light duty compound/polish that finishes off very nice, but after a few 91% wipedowns I noticed everything came back. I tried it on several paints just to make sure and the same was happening.



For compounds you are better dealing with 06060 and use Menzerna SIP/IP for med. polishes. Now if only Menz. would make a great compound that doesn't dust I would be very happy.

The compound didn't fill just the 80349 from what I have tested it on.

I tried to get it from 3M US, but they said is was not allowed for sale in the US due to the chemical regulations.



If you want some get it from Polishedbliss.co.uk. They are great guys!
 
I got the 350 before Christmas but never gave it a try but now I love it. Much better then PG and many other heavy compounds. Scholl S3+ is on par with 350. No dust and leaves a nice finish.

Another great compound to try is MarkV MV 350.

How does it cut compared to 105, what pad are you using with it and where do you find it in the US, if possible? Thanks

Works in the same theory with the new technology of micro abrasives. Has an amazing lubrication carrier that just glides.



Has way more cut and finishes off way better. Stays wet for a very long time and the working time is almost unlimited.:bigups



MarkV is located in CA. They do have a website, but you have to call to place an order.



I give it the Rydawg thumbs up!:xyxthumbs

I had two vehicles last month that were absolute nightmare horror shows and after trying everything I have in stock, MV350 was the only thing that would cut through the barrier of resiliency, the super long work time not only removed the defects, but leveled out the paint perfect and gave an amazing base bottom glow. I was very impressed.

Sounds perfect. Can I use it on foam or stick with a PFW?
