Meguiar's M8501 Diamond Cut'' Compound,White,1 Gallon

I've been using this product for many years. I work at an autobody supply distributor and have recommended it to many bodyshop owners that have now switched from 3m to Diamond Cut 2.0. It works great with a rotary buffer, I paint cars on the side and always used this after color sanding. It cuts fast without much splatter. Tip - if you end up getting some dry compound on car surface, just dab some fresh compound on spot with your finger and rub until compound is loosened up and then buff. Update..This compound has been reformulated, I just tried it out and they have ruined a great product, it is now a terrible product, it doesnt cut like it used to and now it leaves a film that is difficult to take off if you let it dry on surface, I know 3M bought the company and I think 3M reformulated this so customers will use their more expensive brand. Well now Ive switched to Norton Blue Ice which is a great product.

Just finished the hood on this BMW. It turned out great, some of the best compound I have used, I sanded it with 1500 wet paper and it buffed out. Very satisfied with the product.

like the previous reviewer, this item is miss-titled, it is Meguiar's "85" not "80". Which is good because I wanted 85 not 80. I've been using a full quart of this product every year for 4 years on the oxidized gel-coat of a now 12 year old 40' fiberglass boat. it does a nice job. I use a full sized variable speed power polisher, running slowly about 2000-3000 rpm, start with a new 9" wool bonnet every time, light to med pressure. the reason I like using Meguiar's 85 is that the actual polishing agent is fine enough to cut through the oxidized layer of the gel coat (it's a red boat) not leaving swirls like other 'aggressive' compounds in this category but doesn't cut so aggressively that I burn through the corners and edges if inattentive. only down side is actually a positive for me, it cuts relatively slowly so quite controllable meaning my arms get pretty tired holding a power polisher for a couple days. I don't recommend this for hand polishing, it's too slow, I have to use a more aggressive traditional compound in the corners and places I can't get the power polisher into then use '85' by hand to remove the marks from the traditional compound and allowing it to blend reasonably well with the power polished surfaces. Another nice thing about '85' is that doesn't require soap to remove the polishing residue like many other products so I can wipe off any residue with a rag when dry then wax right after polishing without soap and water washing which is good because the boat yard I do this work required controlling all effluents, dust and liquids, from working at the facility. hope this helps you make your decision.

removes fine scratches easily, minimizes bigger ones, best results when using a buffer.

I've always used this brand to remove scratches and clean my headlights. the last one I purchased wasn't as strong so it was ok on scratches but this one is much stronger and you definitely see more results. can't go wrong, you can use a buffer or elbow grease.

MUY BUEN PRODUCTO

This compound was great and cut the oxidation off my old car in no time. I was supprised that I could get the finish to shine as well as it is today. After the compounding I polished and waxed it for a glossy look that has not been there in years. Take your time and don't try to stay in one spot, keep moving and let the machine do the work.

I bought this because of the price, should have looked at the label better. Stick with the ultimate compound that comes in the black plastic bottle.

Worth it . Gives gud result and gloss after coating.
