What product?/

[hemi ram55]

Hey everyone, just wanted to get all your opinions on what buffing, polishing, and wax compounds you like to use. Im currently using 3M and i would like to say its an awesome product, but expensive. Im looking for something a little cheaper but not out of the 5 dollar bin. i know you pay for what you get but you also pay a lot of money for brand names. at almost 30 bucks a pint, doesnt work to well on bigger vehicles. What do you guys like to use that has good results and is priced decently. Thanks all!

For compounds and polish I really like the Mothers Professional line. It works great on both a rotary and a DA using both foam or MF pads. Plus it is reasonably priced IMO.

Waxes, I line using to many brands to pick one or two.

Menzerna aint cheap ... but it works and worth every penny. Megs is usually reasonable in price and performs well.

Menzerna, Megs and some 3m are pretty much all I use currently.

I have gotten to play with Poorboy's World swirl removers a little bit (I have SSR 2.5 and SSR 1) and they work pretty good and are very nicely priced to boot ($15.99 for 16 oz, $24.99 for 32 oz.).

Meguiar's M105/M205 are very good products as well if you don't want to shell out the money for Menzerna. The 32 oz. size of M105 is on sale for like $24 right now and the 32 oz. of M205 is $28, so there's something else for you to consider. Meguiar's Ultimate Compound is very good as well, is cheap (around $7 or $8) and can be purchased locally.
