Overkill?

[solarys]

Hey guys, I have a question.

Is using M105, M205, PS21 Paintwork Cleanser, sealant/M26, and Wolfgang Fuzion in this order overkill?

Also, do I need a polish? If so, who makes a good one?

M205 and P21S are all the polish you should need after M105 IMO.

The Paintwork Cleanser from p21s actually contains a polish, IIRC. So I don't believe you'll need one; if the polish contained can take out the micro-marring and other defects from the polishing steps. You will be surprised how M205 finishes out...I think you'll be fine with that method. A lot of people use M105/M205/Menzerna P085rd (a finishing polish) and then use an IPA wipedown or Dawn wash as a "paintwork cleanser".

It isn't overkill to use those steps, you'll find most people on this forum using at least that many steps to correct/protect a car :)

Wash -- Clay --- Polish (or Paint Cleanse) --- Protect

missing a step is bad karma, adding or enhancing each step is never overkill but certainly more like specializing in car care.
