...Dreaming on an E92....
I had a dark blue Nissan Quest to detail today with medium to heavy swirling, TONS of fallout (I've NEVER washed a car and had it feel like sandpaper. And this thing was only 4 years old...). I finally ran dry of my Optimum Hyper Compound so I stopped in the supply store this morning and bought some of this stuff. I tried their Cutting Creme last summer and couldn't stand it, too much dust and it left a pretty dull finish (IMO), so I assumed the CCL would be just the same to work with. After a long talk about switching from product-to-product I ended up settling on this Presta Cutting Creme Light. Here's what they say you can accomplish with this product:
I had my mind set on finding a mildly abrasive compound that finished off nicely and I got exactly that. After claying the Quest I applied three small beads (about the thickness of a 14 gauge wire and no more than 6" long) to each panel, picked up on each bead and slowly covered the panel with product. This was done with an 8" Edge yellow foam pad. I then buffed each panel at 1600 RPM's in a side/side up/down pattern. After the first pass going side-to-side the product was pretty well broken down but needed a bit more. I changed directions to attack the swirls from a different angle, after this the product was almost gone with the exception of a very thin translucent layer. After doing about 3/4 of the car I noticed minimal dusting, nothing that I can't deal with though. Upon removal I was extremely impressed! It did an oustanding job of removing the swirls yet finished off with a nice glossy finish and very few holograms. What really impressed me was how fast the product broke down, I haven't used any other product that broke down as fast as Cutting Creme Light does. As long as it's available it will always have a secure place in my arsenal.
I'm going to try using this stuff with different pads to see what kind of results I can get. I've done this with Presta's Swirl Remover (my absolute favorite finishing polish to date) and their 1500 polish. Both products are very easy to manipulate with pad/speed combo's to create the perfect one-step product, to remove a step, hell they work great in general! I'm hoping Cutting Creme Light will perform just as well for me
