Product Review
So, I just got my hands on a new polish called 3D Ultra Cut and decided to give it a go and post a review.
The car I tried it on was a badly neglected 1994 Mercury Villager Minivan. I think the last time this car was washed was a few years ago
I did only a small portion as I didn't want to waste too much of this stuff. I did the basic prep by washing and claying the door with a Meguirs Medium clay and Optimum clay lube. I used a Flex with wool pad along with the 3D and did 1 pass. To my surprise, most of the imperfections where gone! I did this same exact car with SIP a few months back to try out a few polishers (my PC went out of commission) and had to do 2 to 3 passes to get results.
Please keep in mind that I did only 1 pass and did not seal or wax the area. The polish reminds me of the M105 line from Meg's as far as cut but is a lot easier to work with.
I snapped a few pictures to show you guys the comparison. Unfortunately the pictures did not come out too well and really don't do justice to the good and bad parts of the paint.

Nice. Theres a 3D shop by my house and I was wondering if I should try some of their products. So would you recommend this product or use it on a customers car? or you would still stick to menzerna?

It's going to take me one hell of a product to slowly move away from Menzerna as I love the stuff. I think I might use this polish on really difficult cars with harder clear cotes. The guy that I bought it from used to be a hard core fan of 3M polishes and switched over to this stuff. Maybe when I do a few different cars I can donate more to this thread about the polish.
At $20 per bottle, it's not too expensive too.

$20 bucks per bottle isn't bad at all. The fact that you mentioned that this polish is easy to work with is very appealing. In terms of cutting ability, which menzerna polish is similar to the this 3D polish?
