    Can you recommend a medium cut polish for production detailing?

    Hi guys,

    I'm doing more production detailing and am in need of a dedicated, medium-cut polish that removes most swirls/scratches from dd's but finishes out LSP ready? Does that magic in a bottle even exist? Here's the reason - my basic exterior package is an AIO(currently using HD Speed and McKee's 360) but some folks are wanting to upgrade to a 2-step - 2 step meaning a dedicated polish and then a machine-applied wax/sealant. What do you recommend for that medium-cut polish that finishes out LSP ready?
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    Problem is it's gonna vary on paint and pad type. I could say Wolfgang TSR on a microfiber pad but probably would haze like crazy on a soft Toyota Prius it look great on a Chevy.

    Would Menzerna PF2500 fit this bill?

    I've Menzerna PF2500 for that purpose a lot. I think it's called MC2500 now.

    These days I'm using Meguiar's M02 Fine-Cut Cleaner or M86.

    I prefer to pair them with a Lake Country Tangerine Hydrotech pad. I'm going to do some experimenting with M205, or M86 on the Cyan pad though.

    If I'm using the Rupes, the yellow microfiber pad, and Keramik Gloss gel is what I use.

    Even FG400 or Shine Supply Chop Top can finish out LSP ready on some paints. Keep a few on hand. This is why a Test Spot is very important. I can't recall how many times I have dialed in the right compound/pad combo to finish out LSP ready, where I had no expectation of it. Sometimes the stars just align.

    I love the label system they had before. The new ones don't have that "utilitarian" look to them. The have those "edgy", modern hues on the color scheme, and are just unpleasant to look at.

    Fortunately, they say the product is still the same awesome product it was before. I've pretty much moved back to Meguiar's, and on to Rupes. Heck, the Rupes polishes work great on the PC too!
