Most times with compounds, I try to get as much "finish" out of the process as possible. On some cars, 3M Dark Glaze is my go-to polish while others I use 106ff or fa if I have some light swirl removal.

Following the glaze or 106 (depending upon the car's finish), the dealer wants Ultrafina SE on all dark cars before applying #26.

In all actuality, the dual compounding makes the glazing/ultrafina/#26 process very easy and reasonably fast. The grunt work is in the compounding process.
