I am running out of 205,and was thinking of trying chemical guys products. Can you recommend which of the polishes I would use to replace it?
Thanks

V-polish V36 is closest thing to M205, if you need more aggressive, get V34, if you need less aggressive, get V38

Knowing that the aggressive of a polishing-product is also sometimes determined by: the size of the abrasives---SMAT, DAT, OGMA, and other technologies,; 'machine'; pad selection; user techniques...And, this is all relative, of course.

But:

-205 says it will remove up to 2000 grit scratches/sanding-marks.

-CG's V36 Optical Grade Cut Polish's description says in one place: Remove 2000-2500 grit sanding scratches, swirls and holograms. In another place: Removes 1500-2000 grit sanding scratches.
RE: Chemical Guys V36 Optical Grade Cut Polish 16 oz. (http://www.autogeek.net/chemical-guys-v36-polish.html)

-CG's V38 Optical Grade Cut Final Polish's description says: Capable of removing light paint defects, imperfections, and remove 2500-3000 grit sanding scratches, swirls and holograms.
RE: Chemical Guys V38 Optical Grade Cut Final Polish 16 oz. (http://www.autogeek.net/chemical-guys-v38-final-polish.html)

Looks like 205 falls somewhere between these two CG ones, if trying to go by the:
'polish-aggressiveness' theme, that is.

I'd go with V36, if it were me.

Hope this helps...

Chemical Guys P40 Polish would seem the closest in my opinion. Removes 2300-3500 grit sanding marks and finishes down great in my experience.

I have the cg optical lineand didn't really like it. It was slow to correct and didn't have enough cut for my liking. Also the cost per Oz was to expensive to use for me. I might all have some. Where do you live?
