    Or like a polish like he mentioned.

    Menzerna intensive polish and final finish are a great combo and work great with a porter cable.

    I have been using Optimum hyper polish and Optimum Polish II and they both work great.

    Because he only has 2 posts and is talking about which polish to give a "great shine" we should really see if he means like an abrasive polish/compound or like a wax/sealant. Lots of people talk about "polish" when they mean "wax".

    Much of the finished results come from properly preparing the paint prior to applying a sealant or wax.

    Compounds and polishes are products that make the finish sparkling readying it for a sealant or wax.

    As a baseline you could begin with an over the counter compound and polish. Depending on the current condition of the paint I've recommended two that work very well.

    Meguiar's is one of the biggest names in detailing products and have been around for over a century. Life for them began in 1901 so this should give you some idea of their quality. The two products below are part of Meguiar's commercial line and are available through most local consumer outlets and automotive parts stores.


    Basic steps in order are:

    • Wash
    • Clay
    • Paint Correction & Polish
    • Seal
    • Wax

    Dual Action Polisher

    1. - Working with a dual action polisher


    2. - On my Porter Cable 7424, I use the backing plate, and pads below



    Some additional products you might like.
