Hey All,
I have a 4 month old red Veloster. I use the Klasse products and have for years. However, I remember that I always used to polish my old Lexus before applying the Klasse. There are so many polishes to choose from these days it is crazy. What would you folks suggest.
Thanks I appreciate the help.

Optimum Hyper Polish is my go to polish. Depending on what pad you use it can be a medium cut polish to a finishing, very versatile.

:welcome: To Autogeek Online!

There are a lot of polishes out there but understanding which one to choose can be somewhat challenging.....

I suspect that since the car is only 4 months old a mild polish should bring back that gloss and eliminate the minor swirls and defects that are present. A photo would be great so that we have something to work with.

Do you have a dual action polisher or are you working by hand?

Menzerna polishes are my favorite and PO106FA is a product that will leave the finish sparkling.....

To be honest if you only had 3 pure polishes to choose from ...and you could never use anything else, M101, M205, Menzerna 4500 is all you would ever need no matter what polisher you had.

Now if you want some protection and cleaning included (non pure polish) ...CG Blacklight, Duragloss 501 would have to be on the shelf. With these 5 polishes you could chuck everything else.
