I have used Optimum Compound/Hyper Compound and the Menzerna stuff is definately better. Having said that, you can still get stuff done with the Optimum products.

OHC works fast with a wool pad and around 2000 RPMs.

It maybe paint depended.

For 4 days I worked on a 2002 Carbon black M5 that was very badly sratched up. I tried every compound that I had but at the end I had to get some 3M Perfect it III to get the job done. On this paint 105 worked better for me than PG.

Most powerful compound:3M Extra Cut Rubbing Compound 06060
