3D ACA 510 Rubbing Compound – Fast-Cutting Paint Correction Compound with Alpha Ceramic Alumina | Body Shop Safe, Low Dust, Silicone-Free, Made in USA - 8 oz

In my shop I exclusively use 3M 36060, this has been my go to for years. Someone online had told me about this stuff and convinced me to try it. It's been 3 days since I cleared a 37 Plymouth so I decided to try this out literally a few minutes ago. I typically use a Super Assilex Finishing kit when there are just too many curves to efficiently use solid blocks so my scratches are closer to P2k, that being said this compound works just as well as the 3M. I'm still using up a bottle of the 3M so I'm literally comparing side by side at the same time. The only con I can find and it's pretty negligible is that a dried streak on the this compound is harder to remove by hand than the 3M but I'm reaching really hard to try to come up with a con as one light pass of the foam pad removes it, I'm sure if I rubbed harder it would also work. Now will I continue to buy it? Honestly, probobly not. 3M is the exact same price through my paint supplier and I can get it delivered in 20-30 minutes on a charge account tax exempt. If I find this last longer or I discover something that makes it better than 3M then that could change but right now I'm sticking with 3M unless this becomes at least $20 cheaper. For someone who doesn't get a shop discount and/or delivery, etc. this would be a no brainer.

Started using the 3D products when I could not find another “3 company” product in stock nearby. The 3D products have now found a permanent place in my shop. Easy to use. Great application. Beautiful shine. Great value for your money.

Worked great for the heavier sun damage on the clear coat of my black car

Excelente producto

Have detailed cars and planes for 15 years. Used with a wool pad with the 3d aca 510 compound and will say it came out looking nice. But was surprised of how much I had to use to do 1 car. You get like a 1ftx1ft area and then it’s like it has 0 compound on the pad. Used Ardex and 3m waxes and compounds and a little of that goes a long way. For sure won’t get out deep scratches as it says but it didn’t fully remove water spots on my roof even after going over it 4 times. Will try there other compound for the deep scratches and water spots. I’m new to these guys so idk if the water trick works to rejuvenate the wax/compound that’s in the pad to get some more coverage? First run in I’ll say for the shine it put on the car, I can look past how much I used. Now just need to see how long it holds up.

I have fallen in love with 3d, I didn’t think I could be any more proficient and then I tired there products and was blown away. The Aca 510 is the strongest; fastest compound I’ve used, and I have used everything from 3m, Meguiara; wizards; rupes: Wolfgang: and every other brand under the sun. I was dead set on sonax for 8 years, I finally was looking for a compound that would be faster, more efficient and finish down like a polish.3d does all that and guess what! NO DUST! No competitor holds a candle

Pretty good compound. Used on a freshly painted/cleared car after wet sanding. The paint got clearer the more times you went over it. I ended up having to go over each section 3 times to get the shine I wanted. Easy on and off. I sanded to 1200 then used the compound since it says it removes 1000 and finer marks. Well it didn't so that's why 4 stars. I ended up sanding to 2500 and it came out nice and clear.

This company makes the best products for the money.

Es exelente

Perfect for harder paints (German etc) works well with foam and wool pads. Corrects serious defects and very easy wipe off. Ideal cut stage as part of 2 stage polish. Very low dust, if any. Combined well with 3D purple foam pad for a single stage polish. Amazing value for money

Entspricht voll und ganz der Erwartung.

Great Compound For Batterard paint work

Use with a wool pad and can remove 1000 grit wet sand lines with ease. My go to cutting compound
