Looking for a cleaner polish to round out my stock, its pretty much all Im missing. I have a few fine polishes based on your recommendations but I think Id like a cleaner polish too. I know about AIOs but they ALL seem to lack durability, even when topped. I was thinking about PB's Professional polish (with out a wax ), as it seems good based on some reviews. But having a hard time looking on the forum for suggestions.

thanks.

Hyper polish, Griots perfecting cream, HD polish+... that would be the fine ones, I think ....

What you have will work just fine in my opinion. Or are you looking for a more aggressive polish?

Not more aggressive... So all in all, I have a new 2019 f250 ruby red truck... Im a little nervous on this one as Im unsure how thick the paint is, if it'll swirl easy compared to my older blue f250 I had prior. So Im looking to go least to moderate in terms of aggressiveness. I dont need this one to be show stopper clear in terms of the paint. I just want it to look good for the average guy. I dont want to obsess over this truck like I did the last one. Basically looking to polish it with a fine polish here and there and be done with it. Of course if it needs more in spots, ok, but generally speaking.

Take a step back and take a deep breath. We often get in trouble when we over think things. You have all that you need from those polishes.

The HP or Griots will clean up the minor swirls with ease. From my experience with the Ruby Red it's a medium clear, you'll be fine if you follow a common sense washing method. Also do a test spot to see how your particular paint reacts with what you have in stock

IMO when the Ruby Red is polished out it is the best looking color Ford makes

100% correct.

Use what you have. Doesn't make sense to stock up on 7 different polishes only to find that the one(s) you have work extremely well. If the ones you have do NOT work to your liking, then that is a different story.

Save your money, and use it for more MF towels. :)

Poorboys pro polish is awesome as a paint cleaner. I also love as it doubles as a great metal polish. It’s reasonably priced as well!! Good stuff in my book!

Yeah, but so are the Griot's and HD polishes he already owns.

Hundreds of choices, and a million opinions, but if what he has works for him, he's good.

Agreed but PB pro polish is a non abrasive alternative unlike his current inventory.
