How much cut? #49 vs #67 vs #91

Just like the title says, how much cut does each of these products offer? I'm very experienced using the #49 Oxidation Remover, but just got to thinking about where it fall in the line up.

What are you working on?

Let me check with Mike Pennington for exact clarification on the cutting power of these three products.

Probably have and answer for you tomorrow.

Nothing, yet. Was just curious as to the cut. My boat was saved by the #49 + the rest of the oxidation removal kit. Actually, come to think of it, I could put this stuff to work on my $62 eBay project boat.

Hi Zaairman,

M49 Oxidation Remover is the least aggressive of these 3...

M67 One Step Compoundis next in line and was designed more for hand application but can be used by machine for 2000 grit or finer

M91 Power Cut Compound is the most aggressive...It was designed to remove up to 1000 - 1200 grit on gel coat by rotary machine but can also be used by hand.

Thanks Mike. That's exactly how I thought it went but wasn't sure. Now if only I could find the time to clean my boats...

Hi, Could you make a recommendation on what to use for my boat? I have purchased Meguiar's Fiberglass restoration system. As I read on I learned there are more aggressive products but seen the great work on several recreational vehicles in this forum, but then again I dont think I need something as aggressive for my situation. Can you make a recommendation based on the photo I have attached? Thanks a lot.

Heres the boat by the way.

Guys, using #67 and a Porter Cable, what pads would be appropriate?.My boat is heavily oxidized abouve the rub rail and I'm having no success restoring the gloss...I'm sure it has nothing to do with me being inexperienced with the PC, though LOL.
Great forum and I'm learning a lot-thanks!

Start off with a polishing pad, but if that doesn't take care of the issue then try a cutting pad.

Where does the #44 Color Restorer fit in here?

and when do you want to use it versus #49?
