A few words from germany here that might correct or add a few said words from this video: Sonax Ultimate Cut 6+/3 is internally called "cutmax 2.0" at Sonax and is the successor and/or substitute for even faster cut or larger areas or coarser sandingmarks after painting. Its can remove grit 800 sanding marks while the cutmax could only do grit 1000. The Cutmax has 6/4 rating and produces more finish gloss. The Cutmax was never officially released to be used with a D/A but rather for a rotary polisher only. The new Ultimate Cut on the other hand is recommend to use with both D/A or Rotary polisher. I would love to see a test on your channel with the Ultimate Cut and your typical sanding marks of different grits, setup. Thanks :-)
Thank you, great review 👍🏼 In my experience ( 3D 500 is my go to product ) Sonax ultimate cut is Slightly more aggressive than 500 and producing better cut, if I needed. As for the numbers 6+, Sonax Ultimate Cut is actually cut 7 but Sonax didn’t wanna Messed up with the rest of the line of the their products where the 6 is the their highest number. And that’s why they put plus after 6, so it will match with the rest of the products. ...Again super Thankful for your time and reviews 🙏🏻
Worked well for me on heavy water spotted paint. Used a Meguiers microfiber pad. Followed by Perfect finish with orange pad. Used a Makita forced rotation polisher.
Did a full custom paint job on my car and had some issues citting out some of the 1000grit sand scratches that The following grits didnt get all the way out. Ultimate cut got them out with a m15pro DA and foam cutting pad. It is truly impressive how aggressive it is. Had to polish out buffer trails aftrr buffing anyways! Amazing review as always! Ordered Ayicon to top my paint off based on your review of it! Thanks for all you do Brian!
Thank you for a yet another excellent video!!! I was actually wondering what the differences were. Imho there are no better detailing videos than Apex detail.
Grab you a lake country cutting pad,hell, that's what the JUNKMAN 2000 would grab and get that thing so shiny you'd have to wear sunglasses to look at it!!!!!
Love That One ~!!! i had a good idea that ACA 500 Would cut pretty good, but i did not think it would even finish Better then new sonax! Awesome ! love 3D and cost even less!! ;-)
That's my Challenger, he is working on. He is also doing my engine bay, interior cleaning and glass treatment. I will be getting it back this Saturday.
I’ve been using cut max and 3d for about a year, regular cut max normally finished better and was slightly less aggressive that 3D. Certainly don’t have the volume you do , but I think I might add this as well to tool chest of solutions . Thanks again
Great video Brian. Always a wealth of knowledge. Is there a possibility you can do a video testing and showcasing Essence Plus on bare paint or ontop of Essence. In the interest of preserving clear, essence plus can fill in imperfections and leave great gloss.
@@apexdetail85 your a legend. Interested in measurable gloss on bare paint. No one seems to really put numbers behind gloss as well as showing jetting like you
Brian - Looking for a combo for the majority of my paint correct 1 step maybe 2 step ar you still saying 3d one and a urofiber ? If needed pull out the aca 500 with a microfiber ?
Oh been waiting for his one. Apex detailing, Because of you have ordered 3D ACA 500, 3D one hybrid cut and polish, Sonax perfect finish, cutmax and ultimate cut. Can please make a video about foam and pads you use. I know you really like the Buff N shine 50/50 Uro-fiber but would like som more video on pads. Whats sort of foam pads are you using? Thanks for a good channel, greetings from Sweden!
Tomas Aro he has plenty of videos with many foam pads, lake country, Buff and shine, medium cut, polish, light polish, lighter polish, jewel finish polish and more.
Love the channel Brian. Been using this for past few weeks with rotary and buff n shine new grey wool blend pad and love the combo. Finish up with 3d one and looks awesome. Have you tried the grey wool blend pads?
Didn't know about this one yet, it's not even in the Sonax PDF list(Professional)! Well, neither is the Profiline Final which is an all in one that includes a sealant of some kind as well. Hope I didn't give the next video away though 😅. But good find on this new one! But isn't a wool pad with this high cut compound a bit to much for this medium to hard clear? forget this last part, spoke to soon, forgot you dont do things half :). Im also curious about the Sonax Profiline SP 06-02
What machine from Harbor freight would you recommend to buff For cutting compound and polish for polishing compound ? Is there one machine that does both I want to repair deep scuff marks in the paint that does not come off so far w/ Mr. Clean magic eraser and WD40
Brain Absolutely u right,today I work on infinity q50s Heavy swirl on the paint and I used both product,my on only problem is 3D ACA 500 works better on lake county wool pads and sonx work better on lake county microfiber pads, then finished with 3D one and I got Greer result, I can used ACA 500 on microfiber pads ?? I have DA polisher
I have sonax cutmax and the 04 06 polish. Most aggressive pad in my arsenal is the meguiars and lake country microfiber pads. I was looking for something with a little more omph, now which on do I choose? Also is there a pad I should order that's a little more aggressive than a microfiber but I dont want to get a wool.
finally found Wi-Fi hot spot 2 watch.thanks 4 doing a MOPAR 4 with the rotary polisher mf pad and da are least aggressive how?being w/o power 4 over 3 days sucks ass.can barely watch ur videos. when I get in am ur channel is what i look fwd to. as always great video again buddy thanks for all the help 🍻🍻🍻🍻
That's my Challenger, he is doing. I was hoping he was going to do a before and after video. I'm going to pick up tomorrow, (Saturday). Hopefully he will put out an after video.
Which Product do you think is Better? Sonax Perfect FInish or Menzerna 3 and 1, was working on a Dodge and didnt see any difference with any Rupes Compound , what do you think about the Xtreme Compound and Blue Ice Line?
In a comparison between Sonax Ultimate Cut 6+1/3 vs Laser Perfect Cut +2 Stage Finish I have to say I have a w203 that has a dark green metallic paint , name of the paint is Andraditgruen . The pervious owner ruined the paint with a very bad polish product ( unknown to me ) . Every time I wash the car it instantly gets so so dirty it’s like the paint is so exposed and got no layer nor protection , it’s like the polish applied before was null , so in a very bad condition . So now I have decided to do it on my own since I’m the city no one is good enough but all they care for is about money . Any suggestion ? What to do and not to do ? What tools I need for hand polishing ? What other products I need ? Is the products I mention good for my case ? Thanks in general !
HI BRIAN I WAS GOING TO USE SONAX ULTIMATE COMPOUND WITH A RUPES YELLOW PAD COULD I USE IGL 4 GRAPHENE FOR A JEWELER WITH A RUPES WHITE PAD AND THEN PUT ON ETHOS CERAMIC COATING WILL THEY PLAY WELL TOGETHER ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS
Hi Brian, I wasn’t sure of the best way to get ahold of you. My question to you is, can you test boat marine style wax products vs car products. Boats are in the harshest of waters for long periods of time and take tremendous abuse. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
I'd like to also know this.. I would think it wouldn't be so good to mix any because of most compounds these days are chemical cut. If you go playing scientists probably not a great idea. But I've been wrong before lol
Ultimate cut is the best compound on the market hands down
I am also doing the details in Korea, but I think the worker's skills are more than 90 percent, even though the medicine is important. You're a real expert.
큐어 디테일링-CURE Detailing hey there! Greetings hope all is well there. What type of detailing products are on the market there?
@@apexdetail85 A lot of products are on the market. The product I use is 3M compound product.
You have taught us so many ways to get imperfections out. I can tackle so much from your teaching 💎✊

How you explain in detail is what makes the difference. You are the best!

for me sonax ultimate cut is better
Worked well for me on heavy water spotted paint. Used a Meguiers microfiber pad. Followed by Perfect finish with orange pad. Used a Makita forced rotation polisher.
Thanks for the review Brian and absolutely love the Facebook page you started.
Whats the name?
Thanks! Hope it helps a bit.😁

Great to learn about these products and differences. Thanks Mr. Brian
Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
Thank you for a yet another excellent video!!! I was actually wondering what the differences were. Imho there are no better detailing videos than Apex detail.
Glad there's something to contend with ACA 500. I find the ACA 500 greasy and cumbersome to work with. I've never been let down by a Sonax compound.
I find the aroma of ACA500 difficult to endure. I do like it's performance though.
Grab you a lake country cutting pad,hell, that's what the JUNKMAN 2000 would grab and get that thing so shiny you'd have to wear sunglasses to look at it!!!!!
Both are quality product lines.
Love That One ~!!! i had a good idea that ACA 500 Would cut pretty good, but i did not think it would even finish Better then new sonax! Awesome ! love 3D and cost even less!! ;-)
A really solid comparison thank you Brian
This product is amazing! Very minimal dusting. I love it. Really cuts nice and nice gloss also
For me I it is a lot easier to get hold of Sonax products than 3D. But I am not sure I will need something this aagressive. Nice vid!
Thanks Brian for reviewing this product.
I was hoping to see a full video on the Challenger since I have one, thank you Brian 👍😁
That's my Challenger, he is working on. He is also doing my engine bay, interior cleaning and glass treatment. I will be getting it back this Saturday.
sweetness_57 that’s awesome 👍😁
I am a big fan off both 3D and Sonax. Great video Brian.
Awesome comparison! I am new to paint correction and can't wait to use my aca 500 extra cut compound!
Great review. Both companies make excellent products.
Was waiting this video. Thanks Brian as always. Can’t wait for Adams graphene review
mike cincinato just got it... coming soon.
I’ve been using cut max and 3d for about a year, regular cut max normally finished better and was slightly less aggressive that 3D. Certainly don’t have the volume you do , but I think I might add this as well to tool chest of solutions . Thanks again
I wonder if they could ever improve on Sonax Perfect Finish, if it's even possible lls that polish is something fierce 🔥
Thanks been waiting for this one Brian
I'll stick with ACA 500 for now 👍🏼
3D in general 💪
No argument there... top shelf
Thanks for the video Brian, great test 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much, Brian!
Great video Brian. Always a wealth of knowledge. Is there a possibility you can do a video testing and showcasing Essence Plus on bare paint or ontop of Essence. In the interest of preserving clear, essence plus can fill in imperfections and leave great gloss.
Charles Bardforth Essence Plus is sure a different beast. I will show how to get the most out of it.👍

rob nelon not yet. Have you? If so what do you think?
I was using urowool pads but tried the grey wool pads and prefer them. Get a strong cut but finishes down a little better than the urowool.

Great channel and content. New sub here! 👍
[8:50] maybe you meant the Ultimate Cut has finish rating of 6 instead of 3 as mentioned.
Great video sir

Mohamed Hameeth absolutely... works great with microfiber cut pads.
Brain, can you review 3D's ceramic coating. It is now on sale where I live and I wonder if it is any good and what the pros and cons are..
avatarraq2 I sure can.
Is there a step 1 ,2, 3 for the Sonax products? I want to try Sonax but not sure what system or products to get?
I have sonax cutmax and the 04 06 polish. Most aggressive pad in my arsenal is the meguiars and lake country microfiber pads. I was looking for something with a little more omph, now which on do I choose? Also is there a pad I should order that's a little more aggressive than a microfiber but I dont want to get a wool.

its a fair match between, i think sonax will be easier to find for us european types
Great Video Sir.. I am trying to decide on buying the Ultimate Cut vs Carpro Ultracut or Clearcut...? What you think?
So, what compound is rated Impressive on yor scale ?
Can this sonax ultimate cut use with orange foam pad to cut, is it safer on clear coat than microfiber or uro fiber?
What’s ur professional opinion on detailing 2014 Lexus ES 350 with silver color,2007 infinity m45 with black color?
Which Product do you think is Better? Sonax Perfect FInish or Menzerna 3 and 1, was working on a Dodge and didnt see any difference with any Rupes Compound , what do you think about the Xtreme Compound and Blue Ice Line?

How would you compare Sonax Ultimate Finish against Menzerna Heavy Cut 400?
Vi Si a bit more aggressive.
With what pad you paired the most time the 3D aca500?

Have you ever combined two different polishes/compounds? Or is it not recommended?
I'd like to also know this.. I would think it wouldn't be so good to mix any because of most compounds these days are chemical cut. If you go playing scientists probably not a great idea. But I've been wrong before lol
