    What is the BEST Finishing/Jeweling polish to use AFTER Meguiars 205 with a Flex or PC for that extra gloss?

    I used Meguiars 105 and then finished with Meguiars 205 on a Black LC pad and want to top that with a jeweling polish top get that little extra gloss on black paint. The finish does look great after using 205 with a black pad, however I want to know if I can make it look even better. I am using a Flex 3401 and want to know what is the best jeweling polish for SOFT jet black paint? Some jeweling polishes are best used with a rotary (po85rd or ultrafina) and I want to know what people use with a Flex 3401 or PC?

    I tried PO85rd on a blue 5.5" LC pad and cannot notice any improvement in the finish over the 205 with a black pad with the Flex 3401 at speed 6, I can almost say that it looks like the 85rd actually dulled the finish just a bit. I used the 85rd with a blue pad and I do not think the Flex was able to break the polish down. Since Menzerna was really made to be used with a rotary I want to know what jeweling polish gives the best results on soft paint with a Flex 3401 or PC?

    There many, many people who use PO85RD with a DA, including me, with excellent results.

    For a show car finish, jewling with a rotary is a must. Ive jewled with a DA and a rotary and the finish with the rotary was far more outstanding. With the da it looks nice, but not like the rotary.

    Anyone else? Maybe I need to try PO85rd again and try to use more polish on the pad next time.

    Does anyone know how PO85rd compares to Ultrafina for a Jeweling step on soft paint with a FLex 3401?

    Its a term used for the last polishing step (but not required) after using a finishing polish where the surface is already swirl free and perfect. It just means that you are trying to get a little extra gloss on the surface by using a very fine polish - before you apply a glaze, sealant, and/or wax.

    I need to get some PO85RD, always hear how good it is. I dont really want 32 oz, do they make a smaller bottle?

    I thought you could get them in a 16oz bottle, but if you haven't seen it, I must be wrong.
