I know you get complaints from time to time about the videos being too long and drawn out, but I really appreciate the in depth breakdown in this one specifically. There's so much to compare when someone asks an impossible question like 'what's the best compound'. It requires you to go through each of the strengths and weaknesses of each product because there really isn't a straight answer. It depends on your machine, time, budget, ease of use, and what end result you're going for. I think you answered all of that with this video very nicely. A good mix of scientific evidence and personal experience/tips as well.
@Amsterdamnster Kush I actually make money doing professional paint correction and installing coatings now. It's a pretty lucrative side business. Amazing what happens when you put your mind to something. You should try it.
I truly appreciate your research and thoroughness. Thank you for your time and kindness to share what’s truly performing best in all areas of preference and to better serve clients and as an expert.
Literally the most comprehensive and informative product video I've ever seen. I don't usually comment on videos but I appreciate all the information provided. Might I suggest adding timestamps to future videos.
Love you're channel. My detailing is getting better. Thanks. Keep up the good work
This video convinced me a long time ago to buy H8.02 and I've been very pleased with it since !!
Leaves a very good finish, you don't even need a finishing compound.
The result is comparable to a one step like Angelwax regenerate
Bought the h9, I need a real compound. Used a 15mm throw DA. The megs 105 cuts 10 time better. Tested on a relative soft paint with years of rids ad swirls
Im hooked on the forensic detail channel!! 🤙🏼
The Rock - Me too!
When do gonna test zvizzer compounds ?
As ever a superb vid and review can’t wait for the polishing review as I’m running low on finishing polish. Spot on John keep them coming 👍🏽
A fantastic video, thanks for your time on this one!
Tremendous vid 👍🏻 love to clean my car and I’ve learnt so much on this channel. Thanks a lot buddy👍🏻
Nice Review Jon - many thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Great comprehensive video. I'd be interested to see how Carpro Clear Cut compares in the future. Gw
Thank you from Suwanee, GA USA You cleared up many questions, again thanks.
Great! I do appreciate the effort on doing this comparison for the web, great explanation great as always. I've used all of them (expect for DK) and I can confirm your impressions completely.
Another great review! I use the Koch and have been very impressed with it.
Great review! You are the best detailer in comparation of the products!
Wow, how times have moved on! 15/20 years ago BC (Before Children!) when I actually had cars I cared about, I used to spend a lot of time looking after them. Now the kids are older and I have more available time and we have cars I want again, instead of cars we need, I began taking a bit more pride in looking after them. I was 'old school' you could say, so I bought some T-Cut, got some old rags and an old tin of Turtle Wax polish I had and spent a day trying to get a black Mini Cooper Roadster looking lovely...... what a waste of time that was! So I did the thing everyone does these days and Google'd away looking for advice and info. This lead me to your channel John. And what a revelation it is! I've watched most of your videos over the last few weeks, much to the amusement of my Mrs who thinks I'm going mad! I'm now the owner of a DA polisher, loads of different pads, a stack of micro-fibres and, after watching this video (and your one about The Best Finishing Polish) have tubs of Koch Chemie H8.02 and M2.01. Yesterday I had my first attempt at using them and got brilliant results which I'm very pleased with. All swirls were gone and a beautiful glass like finish was the end result once I'd sealed and waxed. I find all of your videos very informative, well presented in your relaxed and friendly manner and extremely useful for novices like me. Keep up the good work!
Jason thanks so much posts like this make it all worthwhile, its a great hobby and the best feeling is when you invest the time and get the car looking really good. awesome made my day that has :)
It sure is very rewarding to see the results John. I kept leaning out of our dining room window last night waving my hand in front of the PIR to get the drive light to come on so I could see the car shining brightly! Haha! Thanks again for your brilliant videos :-)
Hahaha
Clay bar fall out remove and tar and glue
Clay bar fall out remove and tar and glue
The Koch must be good to replace your beloved S3! Great review as ever. Your product shoot outs are the best on youtube!
Hi John thanks for the great videos! After watching both the best cutting compound and best finishing compound videos I've been left thinking about one-step compounds like sonax perfect finish, s20 black etc. Would be really interested to see a shootout video of one-step compounds for those wanting to get the best cut and finish, whilst doing only single stage polishing
Excellent video video jon.great information.ill look forward to the polishing one.happy xmass to you and you family.outstanding work!!!!!!!!!.
Another top video. Thanks John.
Your videos are amazing. Thorough, light-hearted at times, fun, and as an American you grab my full attention because my English is not as entertaining. Keep at it!
thanks very much its always nice to get some positive feedback appreciate it
Forensic Detailing Channel
Is there a resource you know of where I can order some of these products online? Amazon US doesn't carry most of them.
we have like different brands and products over here with some cross over both ways. Scholl you should be able to get in the USA, koch I dont think are available. Menz yes... megs yep :)
generally speaking I really dont know the US distributors that well. You should check out obsessed garage store because the products matt sells there is the stuff he has chosen to use and he has a good eye for detail. rag company I know. autogeek. blackfire, esoteric beyond that I really dont know mate sorry
Mint video mate 👍. Absolutely brilliant.
Looking forward to the polishing one :- ) hope you got Sonax Perfect Finish In there 👍👍.
Thanks John great review 😎
Your word is gospel. Tested snd tried. Thanks from Australia.
Just found this channel. Must say fantastic all round. Subscribed!!

Another excellent video, thank you sir! What pads do you use?
Thanks for the great video!
Really informative, thanks for the review
H8 sounds awesome, especially for pros, as it cuts the fastest and doesn't need to be worked to get results, thus saving a huge amount of time = money
I can't help feeling sonax cutmax would have been better suited for inclusion, especially when going up against H8 as the most aggressive compound each company does
Thanks for this review.I found it very helpful . What grade wet sanding did you use before the test. Sorry if you mentioned it and i missed it . Thanks again
Great review as always
Brilliant John! Thanks for you help the other night over Facebook really appreciate your help . Waited to see this before ordering the products spot on buddy !!
Drop me a message to tell me how sort out you’re patron
Thanks kev
Very informative...cheers mate. It's weird how 105 has > gloss than products that came after it and were designed to have improved gloss. I'd like to try the KC H8.02 but its a bugger to get in Aus. Buying from Eu or the old Dart sometimes the postage cost more than the polish :( My 2 fav's on here are S3 and Fg400.
Hey John, great video as always. Quick question. Would you recommend a yellow hexlogic pad with the megs 105 for removing wet sanding marks or moving to a m/f pad ?
Awesome video. Thank you!
Great video buddy... Best regards from Italy
Very good, Thank you.
So when polishing a car to correct the paint work and get out swirl marks do you use the cutting compound then use finishing gloss? Sorry if this sounds stupid but I’m new to the whole detailing scene.
Hello buddy , what would you recommend for cutting fresh paint with 2000 grit sand scratches . Based on cutting speed ? Currently using 3m fast cut plus with hard white foam pad on a rotary buffer . I feel I may be missing out on something faster/better. I hate polishing so always looking for something faster / harder
Thanks john for all work, happy cristhmas
I have used detailing Kingdom compounds since July this year . They are very good . More details need to get there name out
Thanks for this video
My most favorite here in the USA, is #1 Wizards Mystic Cut, 2 Mother’s, 3 tie between 3M perfect it & Norton Ice. Do you ever test after with a IP, to see if the compound just fills the scratches? Have you ever tried any of these?
Hi John , I hope you can make review about Post-wash maintenance products like nanolex wash coat , Autofinesse Aqua coat , Fireball , Dodo Juice ,bouncers and others . great review as always.
First of all great video as always , you're really killing it recently.
As you mentioned you probably should've used sonax cutmax instead of FS05-04.
FS (Feinschleif) translates to "light cutting" so not surprised it doesn't quite hold up with the others regarding the cut
your right cutmax I think would have been better. will get hold on some at some point
Did/have you tried angelwax ressurection?
And as usual a awesome review 👍🏻
/angelwax Sweden
I have menzerna and their step 2 medium cut and polish and step 3 final finish. id say even though there isnt a lot of gloss you'd probably have to use their step 3 to enhance the gloss and possibly remove any buffer trails / holograms as it states it has some cutting capabilities
Have you tried the wizards cutting compounds? I’ve been hooked on them lately 💪
Superb content!
I need your HELP I put the 9H ceramic coating on my gas tank on my motorcycle mess it up can you tell me what I can use to get it off Thank You
Absolutely perfect breakdown. Will be trying Koch next. ‘S3 bottle really annoys me. Lol
was gonnas mention. scholl have changed to bottle lids now, they have proper nozzles on them. yer the current older lids are woefull.
I believe many go for Megs Ultimate compound instead of 105 due to the dusting and carrier, even though its from the domestic range, it is more forgiving.
Great video, looking forward to the finishing polish test. Saying that how about a shootout test comparing 1 step cutting and finishing compounds? Products like Scholl S20 Black, Sonax 04-06, etc. I think that would be worthwhile as many people would prefer a 1step paint correction if possible.
Im shooting bits of the polish test now. funny you mention s20 and 04-06. I talking about this in the next vid. but would need to do a seperate one to compare them
Good stuff. Interested to get your opinion on S20 Black regards to its cut and finish.
Excellent review, congratulations! Have you considered about doing a review on pads from all the major well known brands?
thanks buddy yes this will come soon I promise.
Curious how Griots Garage Fast Correcting Cream and CarPro ClearCut compare to these.
Hi, will you be doing a best 1 step compound shootout? Products like Scholl S20, Sonax 04-06 etc
Informative video as always!
Concerning the price. If you just detailing your own cars and are not a professional that goes through multiple bottles a month I really think price shouldn't play a big role to you. I been through 5 cars and am yet to finish my first tub of compound, so I think it would be mental to skimp out on a 'better' one to save one or three pounds. Also considering you're going to spend hours of time correcting the paint, so don't pay attention to a 2 pound diffrence which might reflect in your results.
Not that you said the opposite but I just wanted to leave that here. Since in the past I paid alot of attention to the price of some products because they seemed expensive. But when you know you are going to get years of use out of one bottle, you really should disregard the price to some extend.
maybe but I think its good to talk about it and then how important that actually is to each person will vary like you say and each person can take away from that what they will... big variance in price though.. dont like paying 44 quid with a litre of abrasives when a very well regarded brand is charging like 28 quid.
What about Jescar Correcting compound and Griot's Fast Correcting Cream? They are the top 2 compounds in the states. Are they available in the UK?
Love the video
It's probably about time to make a refresh of this shootout ... :)
Sonax excut 05-05 is a heavy cut compound but one step really good on hard paint
D30032 vs d30016, what are the main differences? I can't find any answers online.
Koch Chemie H8.02 is my favourite too. M101 is alot better than M105. Nanolex Heavy Cut is also great. Angelwax is also great, but imo more greasy like S3 XXL so not the best with microfiber. This week im going to test Carpro Clear Cut compound which should be awesome.
Scholl s3gold is a bit old. The scholl s2black signature series is heavier in cut but finish better then s3gold. When you use s2bss with scholl white spiderpad it finishes really really good.
If youve had it in the test i bet it would win in both cut and finish.
Theres also the brand new scholl s1 but ive not tried it yet but i think the cut is ridiculus!
Ive also heard the megs m100 has better cut than 105 with the same finish.
Fair play mate, always wondered which one between koch and scholl would be the best so this has just answered that for me.
As for social media, if i had to say what i would put more time into between twitter and instagram i’d say insta, it’s quick fire content you can put out, patreon is a bit hit and miss but like you say with give aways and sneak peak prior to it coming on here you should be good.I hope you hit the target and can fast forward even better content for us viewers.
Merry christmas and a happy new year ya filthy animal 🤣
problem is I dont have a smart phone. I use like this 5 quid nokia. and the instagram PC app suxs, so much hassel to convert pictures to it from a DSLR. I think I need to go high tech and get a new mobile phone :(
Jon, really the vid I have been waiting for.
I would like to have seen the Rupes with Scholl in there but understand its difficult to choose what to review.
A few comment on pads you use would have been perfect for cut and polish.
Good job, might change my order for KC too??
yer delving into pads more would have been usefull. defo gonna do more on pads next year and explore options there. pretty sure you will like H8 mate let me know your thoughts on it.
That would be great. Rupes have there dedicated grey pad for UHS one step and maybe you can show your take on pads to use, can be used etc.
You make very Videos Jon , many greetings :-)
Meg's works great with a mist of water
I have used all 6 of these compounds but would say if you take them to the test on both soft and hard clear coat I would take scholl or DK any day of the week. Those 2 compounds work better if you set them up in the bigger picture :) but it’s a hard test to make because all products works differently for all of us
I think you might be right. I know the S3 works well on soft paintwork (although Ill use it on any paintwork really). I suspect the H8 will be ok though. My test panel is Ford OEM. It really is splitting the atom this one.
Forensic Detailing Channel for a long time Koch chemie H8.02 was my favorite compound because of the cut it has, it’s an amazing compound that makes a great gloss but on softer clear coats it gets a bit sticky. When I tried DK compounds they had me spot on it really works wonders for me on everything and that low dusting is the sweet spot for me with that level of cut :)
it definetly doesnt have the level of lubrication of 1.1 or s3. but my god it cuts :) they are so close because h8 is well lubricated as well.
Forensic Detailing Channel Yes its a close race between top 3 in your test, I use both KC H8 and DK 1.1 but mostly DK because of the low dusting. When I use DK on the DA it cuts best for me on 3-4 and when I use rotary it cuts best at about 1500 rpm
You have menzerna shcc 300 to 😊cut like crazy ☺but you have to go over with a finer one after like menzerna 3800 ☺
FS 05-04 is a OK compound from sonax. But better is CutMax or ExCut 05-05
Cutmax cuts very good!
have you done a review of colour coded t cut. thanks
Anyone know how these cutting compounds compare with something classic like T-Cut?
Hello sir i have a peugeot 206 1999 model white single stage paint and the color is fade and oxidize,i have buy auto glyms paint renovator 3m rubbing compound and rupes quarz gloss and zephyr compounds aldo i have rupes pads green blue yellow and 3m pads medium hard and microfiber pad,also have rotary polisher,and orbital,what do you recommend for start and which compinations to make or if you propose me another compound, thanks you very much!
You might want to put in the description that this isn’t the US. Meguiers is the only product here in the USA. But a great video
What are your thoughts on the new Scholl S2 Black?
Great vid John! :) The koch chemie is Oil based! :) dont know about the others tho :) but i do know that Koch is not Water based :)
Jan-Roger, To answer your deleted comments...Angelwax was founded by John Hogg and Matthew Yates and is a family own business. Angelwax only make handmade batches with strictly tested batches before distribution, and therefore leaving with absolute top notch quality products out to customers.
The History and Brand review of Angelwax can be seen on one of Johns previous videos Of the Angelwax brand review. czcams.com/video/699kM3_7860/video.html
What grade of paper were you cutting up from? P2000?
I miss 3D HD Cut and 3D AAT Cutting Compound :(
What is the best for pvc paint
Awesome review. Can’t get your first place compound in the US but I am trying to decide if I should get the Scholls S3 gold XXL or the Last Cut Compound a Lot of people been raving about
I have XXL and TLC. I like TLC better.
Nice! Thank you! Have you tried the CarPro CLear cut?
No problem. I have not tried clear cut.
great test! published on the Polish fans "Kosmetyka Aut"
It would be nice to redo this one with M110, interested how it would hold up to Menzerna and Koch Chemie, maybe you could also add 3D into the comparison
H8.2 was just king
I was thinking about buying a new compound ( menzerna )and I immediately searched for this video.
Koch chemie proved to be an amazing one
Unfortunately H9 ,it's successor ,costs a hefty price and can't be easily find...
So, given that these deliver a good gloss finish, could they be used for 1 step correction? I've just used S20 black as per your recommendation, but given what I've seen here, maybe I could've used a more aggressive compound?
some people do yes..but on softer paints and stuff and when your cutting you can leave fine marring in there and stuff. and the finer polish will give the real top notch gloss. so its about time.. but from a detailing perspective really these cutting products I believe should be finish out properly.
Great video - love the Scholl products. Don't suppose you could offer a comparison between the S3XXL and the S3 Black ?.
S20 black right? thats medium cut very high gloss. s20 black if I use this I dont refine it most of the time, I tend to use it as a 1 step. very nice. but not always the best option if you have lots of cutting to do.
I think he meant scholl s2black ss that is a step up from s3gold
I can confirm that even at dusk with ambient temp panels, by the time you've spread 105 it's already dry and just dusts to all hell. You have to use so much. And the more you use the more it dusts. Not an outdoor product for a 90 degree F summer evening.
Hi Jon, not for this vid I know but have a look at a company called Cleantec Equipment Ltd. You can change your rubbish plastic coated jet washer hose for a good long rubber coated one. They are based in Northern Island and the quality seems good. Also the hose does not coil up so no tripping over the damn thing !
mate thanks for that I really do need to do this, the oem hose suxs
New compound on market in us called last cut made by detailer in lavegas it is really good reveiw done r a g company and car craft auto great reveiw s
Mike Kniess 2nd for the last cut, really a game changer I love it have heard good things about carpro clear cut also
Yeah I been hearing a bunch about last Compound also
2018 is going year some really good yr for detailers rupes and flex have new polisher and pads and polish system to go with them give. John chance to catch up last cut might not available in UK the products he tested are available he using. a new toy gloss meter will give accurate results. it's expensive to try to new products if the distribution. In UK you pay important tax 30 dollars plus cost of products John re views a lot of products. I am sure car pro clear cut is a great product.
I wonder how “the last cut compound” compares. It is the latest “it” product I’ve been hearing about.
you need to ask if they develope and manufacture in house first. big quo-dos if they do.
Forensic Detailing Channel Why that’s important?
Have you had a chance to try Jescar Compound? I have to say it's the best i have used so far, considering i have used everything from FG400 to M105, M101, Sonax..etc.
not tried sorry. Im not sure if its available in the UK.
Do you prefer MicroFiber pads or foam pads with the Koch Chemie H8o2?On most video's I found they where using the MF pads,alsow for finishing.
I do all my cutting with foam. I just dont do enough of this nowadays to really need to gain the extra cut from microfiber. sometimes on DA's its nice to be able to "up" the cut.. but generally on a rotary with foam or even the 3401 the level of cut I get is enough.
but will explore microfiber pads.. they are not in widespread use for nothing..
@@ForensicDetailing have you ever done a beginners vid explaining the types of pads and best makes to use? Thanks
Why did you wet sand before testing the cut? And do i need to wet sand the paint if it like the hood feels super rough almost like sand paper? And then start compouding?
Only a professional should wet sand you will mess up the paint fast
Hey John, wondering if you ever used Tac Systems Water Spot Zero and if you liked it. I’m not able to get Koch Chemie FSE over in the states. Thanks
ive not michael sorry. Im would say if its TAC developed it should be good.
Did you use a panel wipe after your polishing set to see true correction ability? Also what grit did you wetsand the panel with?
2500 bud. I took 10 averages with oils on and off. I did oils on first because I was paranoid about the effect of buffing all these products off over the entire single panel and scewing results but I dont think that actually was a factor. ideally you would do this with a seperate panel for each product but its just me in my garage and theres a lot of limitations to what I can do without going to mad
Lovely Thank you very much for the swift reply. Could you do me one last favour? If the panel has not been touched since, could you check if the 2500 marks are completely removed, as in can you see tiny ripples in the clear coat, even though all sanding marks are gone, sometimes ive actually still seen signs of wetsanding but I think its down to the paper I was using on this specific instance. You need to look really close and at the right angle but you can still see small lines which the sand paper put in, they arnt tracers or dirt hat would have got caught under the paper either... even M101 on purple wool was not removing these marks!
Hi John, I'm sold on the megs, just quick Qs, how do you know when the product is running out on the pad? Can it damage the paint if the product runs out whilst working it? Last one, once you have finished working it in do you then buff it off straight away, thanks again Jason
so mixed in with the abrasives is the carrier.. you lay the product down on the panel over your polishing area at low speed, crank the machine up to a good speed and work is.. as you work the abrasives 2 significant things happen. 1 you generate heat 2 the abrasives scrap off clearcoat into the liquid abrasive slurry. As you generate heat you dry the carrier out (to varying extents depending on what the carrier is) and as you collect debry you thicken the slurry a bit like adding flour to milk. You can also have solvents in the carry that flash out of the slurry as well.. the bottem line is as you work your pad over the surface you want to see the film of product moving. As the carrier fails you can see various things happen. With megs you will start collecting product up and seeing patches or discs of dry panel and not long after that you will start dry buffing and collecting all the thick (now gunk like) slurry up in the pad. The main problem is some of the abrasives like S3 gold have carrier systems which just go on and on and on. With megs cutting compound 105 you prolly dont want to be working it beyond 2 minutes on a DA although its very hard to give you an exact time because so many things can effect it. you will see what I mean.. also really important to clean the gunk out the pad after each set mate.
I would not recomend 105 if your doing this for the first time.. its a cool product but its a little bit harder to use and has a less forgiving carrier
Forensic Detailing Channel John, thanks for that reply, really appreciate it. Do you think I'd do well to go with the S3 gold then or scholl S20 black?
if your looking for a heavy cutting compound and its the first time youve polished. S3 gold XXL will work really well on a DA and its easy to use, very low dusting etc.. so I would go with that. you will need to refine out the finish though really.. S3 like I say is a heavy cut compound which a decent finish.. but you would want to finish out with something like S40 with it.
S20 is a 1 step. so if you dont want to do multiple stage correction with different pads and compounds. S20 is the way to go.
Forensic Detailing Channel Brilliant, just watched your vid on how to use Das6 pro for beginners, brilliant guide, thanks. I'm going for that machine and the S20 black then. Would I use an orange chem guys pad or the green one or does it matter, thanks again John 👍👍👍
Nice video John, as a professional price is relevant however it's not high up the list compared to performance. Working time is important as you've mentioned. Unless I missed it, how far does each product go?
If a more expensive but goes x3 further, or cuts quicker, it becomes way more economical in labour alone. Especially if an agent finishes down better. Just seemed to be homing on price to me a little too much.
Did you use same brand pads for each agent or manufacturers recommended? I know its easy to criticise, difficult to make videos and include all!
cheers matt. price was just one catagory that gave 6 marks. working time was another one, there were some others, all shown in the vid bud so price only really counted for 10% of the marks... I couldnt use recomended pads would have just cost way too much :( would be very cool to do that actually but introduce a whole load of complexity for me. gonna hopefully explore pad choices a bit more next year.
Have a play with malco epic. I'm sure you will be impressed, its at the higher end of price but it's efficiency goes a long long way.
Most brands use German Foam Partners V8 open cell foam. Comes in all different colours, some reticulated some not. I.e scholl, flex, LC, Rupes, Mez, Flexi pads and many more. But you'll know yourself how some products performs better with wool, micro fibre and even 5mm on foam depth effects resistance/performance.
Thanks for the comparison :) owning the menzerna, meg and sonax in my opinion you chose the wrong sonax product. It is the least abrasive cutting they offer. The 06-02 would fit much better in the test and then they still have two more agressive ones. Speaking of the 06-02 i do like it a lot more then meg and menzerna it is much easier to work with it :)
Hey John,
Long time M105 user but more recently in the past 4 months, I've switched to using Megs M100 Pro Speed Compound.
If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It pretty much fixes all the issues you (and I) have with M105. It has a longer working time, more lubrication, and significantly less dusting. All while maintaining the Gloss and Finish ability of M105.
I haven't used any other quality Compounds however and I am curious to see a more experienced users take on M100.
Thanks for the videos!
Gregory
I have used M100 and M101. M100 is nice to use, has longer working time, less dust and doesnt smell bad like M101. However M101 destroys M100 when it comes to cutting power atleast when using microfiber pads. instagram.com/p/BPe8QzQBonA/?taken-by=jtm_hmg
M100 is leaps and bounds more forgiving than M105. Great cut, and great finish.
Cut is not great but ok most. I did side by side test with M101 vs M100 vs Rupes Zephir and M100 was hands down weakest compound. And i have had many projects where i started with M100 and it just didnt cut enough so i switched to M101 and problem solved.
Hi I have a black Kia soul car which use to have a dragon decal sticker all over it .I've took it of with w40 but there is difference on the body colour deep and light .what shall I use pls to make the body colour one
hey there... it could be the the paint under the clearcoat has faded less where the decal was.. If thats the case theres nothing you can do.. however it could also be the case the the clearcoat under the decal is just in better shape and less hazed than the clearcoat around it. All you can do it attempt to machine polish the area to fix it. If that doesnt fix it then its likely to be the first faded paint scenario...
Hi John, have you tried the sprayable compound from optimum polymer technologies? If so how did you like it ?
hyper compound and hyper polish. I have both. Prolly should of put hyper compound in this vid actually. but it has like a different delivery mechanism. the more Ive used it the more I have problems with spraying the compound out the bottle. you have to kind of play with the rake of the spray to get good thin coverage all over the pad. but I just find myself spraying it on the tool, and if I adjust the rake then it tends to stream. prolly getting into personal preference but I think I just prefer the ones you can squeeze out onto the pad. but theres some advantages to how much product you use with the patented optimum system. you also save a fair bit of time not buffing off the residue. You also need to clean the abrasives out the spray trigger when you finish or they can clog the chamber of the sprayer. the abrasive itself is top quality.
