Review: Been using it for years!! - 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.
Review: Easy. To use - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many 1-gallon cans comes in a box? 3 or 4? Thinking about buying multiple cans.**
A: There are 4 gallons in a case. Vic

**Q: Whats the difference between this (m8501), m100 and m105 which all seem to be compounds? want to compound and polish next couple month. thanks**
A: Meguiar's compounds are for cutting and polish is for sealing the surface. Look at the red line on the side of the bottle to see how aggressive of cut that it is formulated for. I had very heavy oxidation and weathering. Cut with compound and finished with a polish wax sealer. Mequiar's is good stuff. Easy to apply and clean up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ miss-titled but good product for oxidized fiberglass gel coat
*by K***B on April 11, 2013*

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.
