I've taken the plunge and ordered two of the CG polishing compounds Light Cut Compound and Medium Cut Compound.
Product:
CGC-1 ULTRA LIGHT Compound MICRO SCRATCH REMOVER(1 Gal)
Price:
26.95
Packaging:
Gallon Container. I would put it in a smaller container to carry around though.
Color/Scent/Viscosity
Light Pink/ Smells somewhat like bubblegum/ Liquidy
Application:
It is very easy to use. I put it on the pad and move it around on the paint. I work it in using a green propel pad at speed 3 then move to 6. It disappears rather quickly leaving a very slick and glossy finish. I dont remove a lot of scratches with it as much as I use it for removing haze from the Meduim Cut Compound and doing some light polishing. It's easy to remove once its broken down. It doesn't dust unless you use too much. (Experience)

Product:
CGC-2 MEDIUM Compound OXIDATION SCRATCH FIGHTER (1 Gal)
Price:
26.95
Packaging:
Same as the Light Cut Compound
Color/Scent/Viscosity
Light Blue/ Smells like cotton candy or sorts/ Thick and somewhat a gel type substance. :nixweiss
Application:
I use this polish to remove more moderate swirls and deep scratches and scuffs. I use it on a yellow or orange propel pad at 3 and 6. It seems to do a good job, but i wish it had a little more bite. I would love to try the heavy cut compound but I think it might be too much. Its works itself in for a long time and needs to be removed when its become transparent. It works well for taking out moderate swirls but needs to be used more than once. I use the light cut to remove the hazing caused by this product. I really only see the hazing on really dark cars but that doesn't mean its not there. It can be a pain to remove if you don't break it down all the way.
I don't want to go into what these polishes are similar to because it will just cause problems and a locked thread.
It seems both can be used in the sun but I wouldn't be using any polish on HOT black paint.
If you have any questions at all, I would be happy to answer them. Please leave comments and questions. I will update this thread when I find the next polish from them to use.
Overall:
I like them. I think they are great for their value and I will continue to use them on the cars I do for business. I still use PBs on my Cam but that is because I'm extremely anal about my paint...Cough, Cough...Autopian.... Its worth the money spent and I will recommend them to anyone.

It came out great; I just didn't see at first what it was that you took out, but I see it now in the flash.
