Super cool to see how it works on the different grit areas on the hood! Thanks for taking the time to do that. And I have to agree with everyone else I would love to see how it stacks up against 3D One
You just beat me too the LVR500 review Brian! I'm putting together a video show down on this vs 3D One. Thanks for the inspiration to finally put my own content together!
I recently purchased a Flex 3401 and have been waiting to try it out with something new. Ordered the LVR 500, and was immediately IMPRESSED. Thank you for continuing to post great videos.
Always a great educational review from you Brian. Thanks for showcasing most of the Xtreme solution line. Think when my inventory runs low gonna give some of there products a go.
Apex detail resource guide!!!! It’s a place where you can find some of your questions answered!! Lmk what questions you want answered. docs.google.com/document/d/1H82CQo7WEgmSPvr9NRM8sJHLemAuSXtP_K7cJEYpJjg/edit
Like your shows, great content. I'm a subscriber and buy many of the products. Thanks for all your good information. Question, my black car was Cquartz ceramic coated about 18 months ago (and still in good finish, kept under cover inside 90% of the time). But I need to do some areas of correction, some scratches and want to top it off. Can I use some of the LVR500 on the problem areas, or should I go over the whole car and then level out the remaining ceramic coat? And maybe then put the metal oxide coating on you recent showcased? Thanks
Would love to go and try this out on a GMC pearl white. Will it give your whites, and light silvers more pop compared to 3D1? I just finished using the Lvr 403 on my dark grey Tesla a few days back and it just gets better and better with gloss as it cures! Thank you for taking the time to test all these out and letting us know what the product does, and how to use it as a tool. Very helpful and satisfying.
Thanks for putting out these videos. Whenever I run out of something I use your information to make my next purchase. You often mention how products perform on clear coats. Could you also mention how you think they'd perform on single stage paint or do a video specifically on products designed for single stage. (The corvette series was extremely helpful in this regard.)
That really is incredibly impressive.. with just a standard foam cutting pad and two passes it can get that much done and still finish in the mid 90s.. How does this compare to 3D One in your opinion? Do you prefer one over the other? Thanks, Brian! 👍👌✌
I want to know as well, I’m looking for some compound and was going to pull the trigger on that 3D compound and polish in one. But now I see this product ??
I just came in from the garage testing LVR500 vs 3D One on my black 2018 BMX X2 using the recommended Buff n Shine Urofiber pad. I'm putting a video together to go into my results in detail. I'll post here when it's ready. They seem to be very similar products but I believe there is a clear winner on my BMW. Stay tuned!
FatStogie 3D one is a staple, I've been using LVR 500 for about a week now and have 3D one. Honestly I like them both which is better hard to say but if a person enjoys one they'll enjoy the other. Probably 3D one has some more cut but the finish with the 500 is really good.
hey Brian - excellent channel here, really enjoy your fundamentals approach to testing product - very military! A request: any chance you could include buffer speed details on your videos, include them in the remarks, something like "the maxshine "4" speed rating for this task, which is equivalent to 000K RPM"...? I like your comments about speed and pressure when using the buffers, especially how fast one goes through the panel - having more detail on what the best speed for buffing would be great. tx, keep up the great work!
I am totally a fan of Xtreme Solutions from watching your videos and have yet to buy a single product. They have a great line up, pricing is fair, and they don't seem to have a dud product around that anyone can bash. BTW when are you going to showcase Magnum wax? You and pan have kept me anxiously waiting for the video on it!
Hi Bryan, José from Doninican Republic. Please tel us just the basic pads types we must have to obtain optimum results with LVR 500. Thank you sir. You have big fans here in DR. Please come visit. Great videos
Lovely informative video again Brian Henry Freeman took my advice here haha, im keeping track of the products aswell in my own sheet which is a bit way more extensive which i will be sharing in the future. ;) But this is what i suggested right on :) I love it!!!!! So LVR 500 a better finish and 3D one more cut i read :) ,that would be my question aswell. Let me ask what is the best All in One compound/polish in your opinion? one of these or another all together, or do you prefer job specific compounds or polishes?
I have a one year old Honda Civic daily driver. It has no real scratches, just some micro scratches from everyday use. Could you recommend a finish polish to bring out the gloss without eating into my clearcoat significantly? I just use a Harbor Freight DA polisher with a 5 inch backing plate and a wide assortment of Lake Country foam pads.
Do you happen to have experience with Volkswagen paint? Do you consider it to be "hard" or "soft"? I'm not a detailer, just a weekend warrior who's trying to get as close to perfect as I can before I put a ceramic coating on my Golf R. Just as my GTI before it, I find that even surface scratches are extremely hard to remove, and using Meg's professional compound (the pink stuff), it left quite a few behind. Should I be using something stronger than a microfiber cutting pad? Less abrasive?
great video and product review good friend. love that list..can a rotary with finishing pad work on that soft clear?reason I ask u got me hooked on rotary😃😃b well good friend
I am no pro, so $30 per pint seems steep to me. When you have less expensive compounds like Meg's Microfiber Cutting Compound, 3D One, and even Nanoskin Speed Cut that seem to perform as well (at least in the wet sanding tests), I am not sure I can justify it, as much as I would like to try it. I mean, for me, if I need a more aggressive compound, I would just pony up the money for Menzerna M400. Brian, do you feel the LVR 500 is a better performer than 3D One?
No. He's said in multiple videos the same car make model and year can be totally different. Wear and tear from different owners, outside vs garage kept, babied or mistreated, a chart is impossible. Test panel on every car is the gold standard with the least aggressive pad and product first.
Buck Slaughter check out the pinned comment at the top of the comments. I made a spreadsheet that helps answer these types of questions. It answers a way to test how hard soft ur clear coat is
great vid... my only complaint about xtreme is... what do I buy? thanks for your help and insight... btw i tried the 403 and poly seal and it came out great
I’ve noticed a lot of the professional detailer‘s talk to everybody like they are professionals there’s a lot of us that are just starting out or fairly new could you please explain a little further on simple things! Thanks Fred
"Designed for the removal of 1200 grit sand scratches or finer" Sounds Ike 503 has more bite than 500.. Leaning towards more cutting than finishing in the balance. That's my guess.
How do you determine what kind of clear coat? I have a 2019 Dodge Ram Limited, white in colour. I THINK it is hard and for the life of me I can't find any swirl marks no matter how hard I try.
Its determined on how easily it scratches. Alot of imports have soft clear coats. I wonder if there a table or something online that has listed which company uses/tend to have softer clear coats.
it'd be really cool if you could superimpose yourself when doing the 4 section test. 4 brians doing the line at the same time. product looks awesome, would you compare this to Sonax Cutmax/Perfect finish? 3D One?
Greetings Brian. Great video. This product looks works great. I have a petition for you. Can you do a review of the CSI ceram -x polish. I want you opinion about this product. Thanks
@@apexdetail85 that's it. I had ordered it and it arrived a little before writing to you. I tried it in my car and it didn't work the same as they did, and it did leave a lot of dust. I just wanted to see it in action in the hands of someone who makes good product reports. greetings from Puerto Rico and thanks for answering
As many have asked in the comments............how does this compare to 3D One!? cut to finish? and pricing? always good to have another similar good product in case the suppliers get back ordered of the other one! ;-)
I have the 3D one and I consider it a great product. But that xtreme looks impressive. I’ll have to wait when I ran out of 3D, or maybe...what the heck buy the product in a few months since 3D shine has lasted very long!😬
Brian has 3 videos on this. How to test if you have hard, medium and soft paint in 3 sep videos. Dig through his videos. Very informative. Also suggest to watch his "how important is pad choice video "... Might be called something else like it but you get the idea.
I believe 403 is a glaze leaving fillers behind. This 500 doesn't have fillers or protection. Just cut and or finish pad dependent. Just like 3d one. 3d speed leaves protection but gives up a tad on cut and finish vs 3d one. Hard to judge besides price which is better. If you conclude that 3d one cuts slightly better... You can always do a half pass more with lvr 500... Or vice versa.. Switch to a more aggressive pad.. Etc... LVR 500 in a pint 16oz is only 5 bucks more than 3done. Bundles and coupons through the year probably makes that gap even closer. I think they both look like winners.
LeoC 403 needs cure time before adding a sealant, so if you wanted to wrap things up that same day on a detail, 3D one or LVR500 would be a better route for time sake.
@@apexdetail85 Totally agree! In regards to abrasives I do believe they were one of the first to come out with SMAT/DAT abrasives. It's still my go to but the dust is a killer sometimes.

Thank you man!!! I appreciate it. Any questions you want answered, lmk I’ll update this document regularly
Great summary list! Much appreciated
in the test panel i saw your face very clear
Great job... Do you still use Ardex Hard at it as a compound or why did you stop?
Super cool to see how it works on the different grit areas on the hood! Thanks for taking the time to do that. And I have to agree with everyone else I would love to see how it stacks up against 3D One

I like the results from this product ✊Thanks Brian 💎
Yeah I'm digging it a lot, can be used with a ton of different pads. Good stuff.
I was planning on buying the lvr404 bc we have light colored cars in our family. Now I have to rethink it
Wow! Impressive!😃
Excelent work brian 👍
Yes I agree!! Xtreme solutions!! Awesome products!!
Another amazing video, thank you Brian 😇
How does this compare to the LVR 503, which is somewhat of a competitor to 3D One? I imagine a tad bit less cut but better finishing ability?
Awesome products
Lovely informative video again Brian

Great video. Still want to see the LVR357 stand alone video. You have only had it with 2 other products stacked.
Nice thanks Brian
More good info., thanks. Seems like a 3D One competitor
Craig J Crespo it is.
Another nice video Brian! Would you follow up with Xtreme Solutions Poly Seal after using the 500?
Will like to know also.
David Spencer Yes you can. Especially on lighter colored cars as long as don't need a follow up polish. Meaning the oad wasn't too aggressive.
On par with 3D one? Very impressive.
Great information. How do you like using your DA Max Shine polisher?
Would you recommend this over helios 404 for light colored cars? My car is silver too with thin light scratches.
Do you happen to have experience with Volkswagen paint? Do you consider it to be "hard" or "soft"? I'm not a detailer, just a weekend warrior who's trying to get as close to perfect as I can before I put a ceramic coating on my Golf R.

I will be trying this!👍
Great review Brian ! 👍. The orange pad, is it the lake country Hydro-Tech Tangerine ?. Thank you
Please test Feynlab ceramic coating. Thanks for all the awesome information you give us.
Looks like good stuff. How does it compare to 3D1?
Was wondering the same
Quite similar.
Looks like a great product. What about water spot removal on black paint? Think it may do the trick?
Can take care of that.
great video and product review good friend. love that list..can a rotary with finishing pad work on that soft clear?reason I ask u got me hooked on rotary😃😃b well good friend
Once again, another awesome informative video! We're all wondering Brian, how does this stack up to 3D One?
And have you ever tried Adams correcting polish the orange bottle does this work better?
Which pad would you recommend to use, with the flawless cut, on a 2018 magnetic gray tundra? Thx Brian.
I am no pro, so $30 per pint seems steep to me. When you have less expensive compounds like Meg's Microfiber Cutting Compound, 3D One, and even Nanoskin Speed Cut that seem to perform as well (at least in the wet sanding tests), I am not sure I can justify it, as much as I would like to try it.

Would this work well on my black lexus ls430? Looking to do my first "correction". Excellent work!
Is there a chart available that has a recommendation for car manufacturer clear coats and pads for cut/polish?
No. He's said in multiple videos the same car make model and year can be totally different. Wear and tear from different owners, outside vs garage kept, babied or mistreated, a chart is impossible.
Test panel on every car is the gold standard with the least aggressive pad and product first.
