Ryan - Did you get a sample of the new Perfect-It Rubbing Compound yet? It hasn't gone into mass production yet. They are passing out/testing prototype samples.



I got a bottle earlier this week. I haven't used it yet, but the 3M Rep says it's incredible. I'm wondering if it will have similar results as Meg's 105? The nicest thing about it is it smells like tutti frutti candy:drool:



This is how 3M is changing the look of their labels/bottles to:

I have been trying to get a rep in my area to get me some but none of them have any. I'll have to try to get my hands on some. Thanks for the heads up David!
 
I have tried the new 3M compound #06085 and it is the worst compound I have ever tried. It reminds me of something that was made in the early 80's. I had a very hard time washing it out of my pad.



There chemist has no clue at all in what paint correction truely is and needs to reformulate the new compound. I have no clue who they had test it, but they need to be fired!!!!



They have all new products this year.



The Swirl remover polish is a tad better than the old, but still nothing special.



Ultrafina is no longer Ultrafina, it is now called Ultrafine polish. I was told it was untouched and is still the same just with a new name.



I am really bummed out with the new compound and thank god I did not have to buy it.



If I had to rate this product (06085), I would rate it one of the worst compounds I have ever tried in 18 years.
 
Rydawg...go to Burlington auto parts...they still had some of the old P-III stuff there the last time i was there when I visited my mother...I bought 2 bottles of the 05933 and 05937 there....save me some...lol..if they have any left....I will be going there in a week or so....

Sorry you had such a bad experience with it Ryan. From several people I have spoken with you are not the only one who feels this product is a HUGE step backwards from Extra Cut...



No biggie for me, even if they stop making Extra Cut because I am really enjoying the new Meg's compounds...
 
I'm going to pick up some EC today, and I want to make sure I pick up the exact item....Is the correct part #06060??



I'm almost POSITIVE that it is, but I want to be sure.

Ryan's actually being nice. I mirror his efforts into trying to justify this product as an improvement to Extra Cut., but their is no hope. I'm frightened to see how body shops will take in this product as the improved version of Extra Cut and be left :think::confused::grrr:har: :down:cry::shocked:help::hairpull

So it is now "Ultrafine"? Is this everywhere? Looks like i am going to have to buy mine from the UK.



I just got my 1st quart of ultrafina like 3 days ago. I LOVE IT! It is amazing!
 
Bump.



I just went over to my local CarQuest this morning to pick up some Extra Cut and Ultrafina, and I ran into a bit of an issue. There were two different bottles of Extra Cut with two different product number. One was listed as #06060 and the other was listed as (And I may be wrong...Should've written it down) #05963. Is this simply the older number for EC? #05963 had 3M Perfect-IT III 3000 Extra Cut Rubbing Compound on it and #06060 has 3M Perfect-IT 3000 Extra Cut Rubbing Compound....the only difference being the lack of the "III" on my bottle (#06060).



I just want to make sure these are the exact same products.



Thanks.

I thought that was the case, by the one I bought had the higher chronological number. I just wanted to confirm.



Thanks, Fbody.
