Default Presta Compounds / Glazes ??

Corvette Restorers, has anyone used Presta Products (Compounds and Glazes)? If so what are your opinions on this product and can it be compared to the 3M compounds and glazes.

I have never heard of this company and my painter wants to try the Presta product line. (Presta has been in business since 1953.)

I don't want to be the 1st, to me this is an unknown product.

The dealer / paint shop that sells this products claims it is better than 3M compounds / glazes and easier to use.

Thanks
Bob

I have all the Presta products and I think they are great. I use a Makita variable speed buffer along with the Presta wool and foam pads. If your painted likes Presta then let him use what he knows. I switched to Presta after hearing good feedback from some painters on the Southern Polyurethanes Forum. I think all the products on the market are pretty good, I found the Presta very user friendly and provides a mirror shine.
