I just finished a 2004 black Dodge Hemi Sport and a 1997 Pearl white Acura TL
using M105/M205 combo followed by Blackfire Wet Diamond on the Acura and
Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish and Blackfire Wet Diamond on the Dodge Hemi.

I am looking for a polish to get a slight more pop to follow M205, although I love the way M205 finished out.

I use a D/A G110 and I have not tried jeweling with a rotary yet. I would like to use my D/A to apply a polish for paint that has been corrected or that just needs a slight amount of correction.

The 3 candidates that I have in mind are po85r ff3000, po106fa sf4000 or
p085rd sf4500.

Remember,I am following up M250 which already finishes out great or using it for a touch up detail where paint has been corrected before.

Any input from users would be much appreciated,

Mike

Optimum finish polish is actually very nice for getting that extra "oomph" out of your paint. I know it wasn't one of your initial choices, but it is a good choice nonetheless. It has a very long working time and is a good value for the money, IMO.

85rd or ultrafina. I don't know if these polishes will give any extra pop, since you are using enhancing polish already.

I've used Megs 205, Optimum Hyper Polish, and WG Finishing Glaze on black paint. I find the optimum to have the best pop

I think the moral of the story here is that there are a bunch of different polishes that do a great job of giving you the extra pop you're looking for- the fun part is experimenting with them all.

Thanks Guys

As my money allows, I am going to try Mazerna 4500 p850rd and Optimum Hyper Polish. Probably Mazerna first. I appreciate your input.

I use a D/A G110 and I have not tried jeweling with a rotary yet.

85rd or (3M)ultrafina.
Although I've used a PC-style polisher in my attempts to 'jewel the paint' with both of these polishes...
I found that it took me quite a while longer to "finish-out" (what with their abrasive technology being as it is)...
than it was when I used a rotary-polisher to jewel.

Then again, IMO...
-Jeweling is a process that shouldn't be rushed
-I'm never in a hurry when I do so
-YMMV

85rd for me. I do have some opt final polish that I haven't gotten to though. Iirc m205 can finish quite nicely as we'll.

I don't think you can completely match the jeweling ability of rotary with the action of a DA ime. If your rotary will operate below 1000rpm I would go that route with the menz 4500. Yet if you must use the DA go with the softest pad you have and 4500 and don't work it too fast or long. Well, do whatever your test spot tells you. IME opt fp can't be work too long with a DA. But it could've been that the Opt FP2 I have is at its end life.
