The ACA abrasive is growing on me as 3D falls into my favor for corrections. Share your 3D Car Care product experience.
Enjoy your holiday B!!
Would you pick this over 3D One?
Apex Detail 3D ONE! Love it!
I love the 3d hybrid compound..
Would you still run it with a micro fiber pad on a softer clear like Honda?
Mr. Brian, Wanted to say thank you again. Wishing you and your family, a very Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!! Happy, Healthy New Year!!
_Brian, here's wishing you and your entire audience a very Merry Christmas!_

Nice review, Brian! Easily one of the best cutting compounds out there.
Whoa! Man that Mustang's paint was friggin' *hammered* !!
Thanks for doing these videos you have been spot on imho with your reviews. (Saved me alot time and money lol).
I am happy these vids help a bit. Cheers!

Love aca500!!
Great review! Ordered!
:)👍
3D 500 and 520 working every time 👍🏼

Thanks Richard! Cheers!
I think they made that just for you Brian. They knew they had you with One and just needed to add a little more cut! Tadaa! PS - Thanks for polishing my car. Please leave the keys under the mat. I'll pick it up around 1am! LOL!
They hit a home run with the two!🙂
Wow.. Sonax takes a hit!!!!🤨
Happy Holidays and New Year. Hoping great success for your business even your OWN building to to it from!!!
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
THANKS, BRIAN!
I've just picked up a 500ml Carpro clear cut compound on ebay, for $15. My first compound, not in the top 3, but good reviews by you Brian.
Awesome video again Brian, didn't think Sonax could be toppled.
Yes! Clear Cut is a sweet compound...just needs to be a bit more aggressive to crack the top 3.
Your video made me buy 32oz 3D One very good product thx bud
I love both! Enjoy!🙂
Great review Brian. LOL I thought Cut Max was never going to be knocked down the podium for a while there!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas!
now try sonax sonax profiline ultimatecut 06+/03
I'm a Camaro SS guy, but I have had three Cobras in the past: red 95 Cobra, white 98 Cobra and a black 98 Cobra...this car is GORGEOUS. I like the new Mustangs but I think this one is better
I like the older ones as well! Hell...there arent many cars I dont love.
I seen that 3d has a new compound out called "premium compound" cant wait to try some
Hi Brian happy holidays I've been using 3D products like the ACA 500 and HD Speed and works pretty good for me I'm mobile detailer so I work under the sun and I don't have problems with dusting or time working with the product they're expensive yes! But works good and a little bit goes a long way.
Exactly...great point...a little goes a long way.👍
I noticed you’re one of the few that likes to use the torq 22d. Is this one your favorites over the maxshine lt? Thanks!
I freaking love this stuff, cuts like a katana sword! Between this and sonax cutmax I have had great results in most situations. M110 still holds a special place in my heart though!
How much stronger is ACA500 than M110?
What do you like about M110?
Brian, I have to ask.....whats the deal with the wizards? Its been off to the side at the top for a few compound tests. Where does it fit in? Tied with the top contenders?
Look forward to seeing what the aca's Polish can do
Much more to come!
How this compares to hd cut+? Cuts much more and finish?
Brian, Would you test the new Optimum Clear Coat Restorer product on a car with deeply scratched paint that can't be sanded and compounded out? It sounds like a really useful product. Thanks for all the testing you do on products.
On the list...I have yet to cover The other compounds as well. All on the way.
hello you only used this product, or you also used the finish (520)?
Very Impressive.... !! :-)
Merry Christmas!!!
@@apexdetail85 All the Best to You Brian !! :-)
How would you compare this to Americana global elite ultimate compound ?
No way! Sonax out of the top spot!😮
Both great compounds!
Did you used polish 3D or only 500xtra cut?
Wow Sonax finally Dethroned! I thought that wouldn't happen! I need to try this stuff out, especially since I can get it at autoality!
Give it a shot...let me know what you think. Feel free to PM me.
@@apexdetail85 kk thanks! You're the best
Wowww!
YES!!👍😀
what is your favorit sonax ultimate or 3d 500
I do a lot of spot panel correction on car lots, so this series has been great. Thanks for putting in the work to test them out. A question though, do you have a preferred way to quickly tell if a clear coat is hard or soft?
I pretty much have each make and model memorized by now...but if you are not sure...start the correction with a foam polish pad. On soft clear...this is enough eggression to remove most love marks and swirls. It takes microfiber and wool to do the same on hard stubborn clear.
Apex Detail thanks Brian, I hope you enjoy your holidays
ANGELWAX perfect finish is an excellent product. I use it too combine with this compound.
On sale today at autogeek! 15% off PLUS another 20% and free shipping. I just picked up the gallon at $34/qt
How dose this compare to 3D one thx
Right in front of that area you taped off at the four-minute mark. it looks like it's almost a 90 degree angle. where the hood scoop is. how do you get in there and polish the inside corner?
I do the corners of a 90 degree corner by hand. I bend a 2 inch microfiber pad around my fingers to match the contour.
You did the ACA then Angel Wax, is that it or is there another step that goes after angel wax?
That is is...coated it from there.
How compare to say a Farecla G360 ? Many thanks
So, what’s your best cutting compound / finish in your arsenal?
Brian have you tried the aca 520? How compares to other final polish? Do you like it?
AAT502 will finish better on soft clears. Love them both but if I had to choose one it would be AAT502.
Brian, is this compound a SMAT technology? Really liking the no dust characteristic that it was exhibiting during your testing here. That is one thing why M105 (that does really work well) is on the last choice that i grab list.
It contains Alpha Ceramic Abrasives...They give a nice even consistent cut.
Hi Kevin it is SMAT. I do find you have to be careful priming the pads with all 3D compounds/polishes if you are doing the KBM. The lubrication in this will dumb down the cut if you prime too heavily. it spreads so well! Less is definitely more
@@thesnowmanMHH Agreed.
3D has stated for years that there is no need to prime pads with their formulations.
I start with four drops on a 5.5" pad. Two for the reload.
Great compound.
None of 3D's abrasives are diminishing.
I have these white stains on the rubber hoses under the hood that I can't get clean do you know what I can use to help clean that up
Try a Hard water spot remover....or Citrol 266.
Definitely will try. I also tried the Meg m110 pro compound and surprisingly, it dusts quite a bit.
What polisher and pad did you use it with? I get no dusting with M110.
@@c6z061 I used a lake country blue hybrid wool pad with a dewalt rotary.
@@jerrychanhly yep, it will dust with a rotary. M110/210 is actually aimed for DA use.
@@c6z061 I wish they kept it straight on their label that's all. Because they did say it's made for either DA or Rotary.
@@jerrychanhly I can be used with rotary as well. I would have never known they focused on DA use, until I heard Michael Stoops from Meguiars say they geared it for DA and MF pads.
I was convinced that cutmax was the best compound, but now I see that it is not. I lean more towards this
Nice product 3D makes some of the best stuff out there!! Hey I have a random question and wanted to ask u for advice. I'm about to tackle paint correction on my white car, paint hardness is medium, I have meguiars ultimate compound and Meguiars burgandy foam cutting pad "dfc5" and after that I was gonna follow up with 3D AAT 502 finishing polish with a meguiars yellow polishing pad dfp5....do you think that is a good combination?
Or would meguiars 205 be better then the 3d AAT 502to use after cutting with ultimate compound
I did exactly that but with Meguiar's ultimate polish after ultimate compound. Great results on white cars! Used their ultimate wax also.
If you already have the two...go with it. You should love the outcome!🙂
@@apexdetail85 yeah I already have AAT 502. Thanks man
why do you do such a large area with just 8 little dots of applied material on the pad? isn't that too little compound to rub so long and for such a big square? shouldn't you 'wet the pad more first? (never used this set up before)
The lubricants in 3D's line of polishes doesn't need priming.
Most modern, high end compounds and polishes don't require priming.
hi,do you polish all the decals. or what do you do with them.?
I use Angelwax Perfect polish on them with a black foam pad...mostly to clean them.
Great video Brian what brand of sand paper do you recommend for wet sanding?
I start and do a test spot with 3000 grit. Then adjust from there. up or down.
What brand do you perfer?
Can you make a review on MIRKA Polarshine polishing compound, it removes p800 sanding mark
I gotta try this I've heard him mention there are compounds that can handle 800grit but havent been able to find them. Not sure I would use 800 grit on a car but I still want to try it!
I just found a video of it, was in Russian though, looks like it really cuts through 800 grit! Looks like a dust bowl but still freaking awesome so I ordered a bottle to try out!
ACA 500 CUTS very, very good, but is not a 1-step compound, compared to, let say, Griot's Fast Correcting Cream. Great video, Brian!
Brewinz Right, but this series isn’t about one steps, its about cutting compounds and how they rank in true cutting performance. Cutmax doesnt finish down to a glossy finish either.
@@NickM1013 strange concept when your talking about a hard cutting compound it doesnt finish like a mewling polish. Thanks for such clarity on that
Daniel White glad I can help Daniel.
@@NickM1013 I think Daniel was being sarcastic to my comment. I'm aware a cutting compound won't finish like polish, but Brian does say most of the compounds he's tested finish down "very far". Then again, I'm not sure of ones definition of very far.
So you just use fast correcting cream and then apply protection? Sounds like a great product.
where’d you get the breather?

Brian do you have a link for the respirator that you are wearing.

Thank you. Brian , Barry is having another training class in January. Hope to see you there. @@apexdetail85
Been using sonax cut max for ages just started using Aca 500 much better product and finishes so much better
Really interested in these ACA products. But they are far outside the normal cost even for professional compounds.
I did get 3d one that has the same abrasives. That's the only "detailing" 3d products with the alumina abrasives. The ACA ones fall under "professional" on their site. I assume meaning more for body shops while ONE, CUT, and POLISH are under "detailing"
That stuff looks great!!! But man it's expensive
It is pricey! Can't argue with that!
15% of plus another 20% off today! I bought the gallon of compound and polish. It ended up with tax $34/qt
With normal compounds I'm using anywhere from four to six ounces of product.
With 3D ACA500, and ONE it's about half that.
They say it better to have one compound and Lear about it than having 5 and not know everything about it.
Interestingly Car Pro’s Clear Cut was noticeably more effective removing scratches than this 3D compound. And that compound isn’t in the top 3.
He always states that a given may work better depending on how people use them.
For me the Jescar was on par or equal to the ACA500. But I have had cars where Jescar Medium cut better than this one.
BLACK MUSTANG=LIQUID^^^^
Looks a bit better now!👍🙂
