Just on mild to moderately swirled or neglected finishes, what would they be? im looking for hopefully nothing more than a 2 step that can provide great results and a smooth surface

what about menz SIP and nano? or should/would that require other polishes?

ive got some CG pro polish3n on the way and some CG Final polish so im going to see how those work but i was j/w what you guys thought

So many choices: Optimum Spray Compound and Spray Polish, Wolfgang Twins, Meg's 105/205, Menz Power Finish/85rd. Not to fond of Poorboy's 1,2 and 3.

At this point I would go for M105/M205. Easy to obtain should I run low, decent price, change pads and you could easily have more polishes.

Meguiars UC and SwirlX. Excellent consumer friendly polishes that really finish down well.

I use SIP/Nano on my cars, they did wonders on my cars paint after years of neglect from previous owners and myself (until I got into detailing). Didn't get what I expected from PB SSR 2.5/1 and Opt polish/compound (v1). I have no plans on changing this combo, then again I just do mine and family/friends cars.

Depends on the condition of the paint and what you are trying to achive. I've done a 5 step that took 4 days.

Just on mild to moderately swirled or neglected finishes just to achieve the best possible finish in the shortest time...im not going to be doing anything more than moderate correction...just something that i can do on cust cars that can remove the swirls and leave the paint glossy and smooth to seal/wax while spending a reasonable amount of time to keep my rates a little lower


so nothing close to 4 days..but something i can achieve in a few hours or so

Wolfgang Twins or Optimum Spray Twins would be my choice for you. Love Meg's 105, but it has a learning curve.

I agree SIP/Nano has given me excellent results.
