what is the best finishing polish "hands down" in your opinion???

[HateSwirls]

•Riddle me this:
-How is it possible to perform the
"finishing polish"-step with a product,
such as Meguiar's M07, that contains
absolutely no abrasives?


Bob

It's a pure polish, it's intended to bring the gloss to another level.
No it doesn't have any cut to it but I have other polishes when I need some kind of correction.
If you never tried #7 you may want to give it a shot.

Are you using M7 on clear coats?

This thread is about finishing polishes...
not glazes/"pure polishes".

BTW:
-I've been using, and recommending,
Meguiar's M07 for quite a few decades.
(In fact: closer to half a century, or so.)
-As such: I do know its intended purposes.

Single stage only contrary to the label`s statement of "Safe and effective on all paint finishes" and according to Mike Phillips.

Bob,
Does 3M still make "Ultrafina"? I read a long time ago that Todd Helm liked that polish too, but seems like I recall there is a newer version..."Ultrafine"... and that Todd preferred the older version? IDK, just asking if any of what I read is true, and if the products are still considered to be as good or even if there's a difference. I've never used either. All I have on hand is Perfect-It Compound and the newer EX compound. I need to get the polish and ultra fine polish yet, but they're expensive. Loved the compound though.

Believe it or not I still use 3M SD from time to time. Especially if wool and a rotary are called for and my normal modern compounds aren't cutting the mustard, so-to-speak. I love SD's long working time and I've used it with foam too and not found it to be as harsh as some might claim. I realize that statement goes against the modern grain though. Oh well...

That is really interesting that you like 3m SD after all the hate that compound gets. I personally love and used Scholl Concepts matting compound pretty often especially on resprayed single stage paint when I'm trying to remove some 1500 grit sanding scratches I accidentally missed when sanding with 3000. It is extremely expensive but does a decent job creating a uniform scratch pattern without instilling deeper scratches like the old xmt#4 would leave behind. Does 3m Super duty leave any deeper scratches or is its just alot of haze and swirls that can be removed with a modern compound like FG400 or M101?

[Hoytman]

There are some key words in my last paragraph of my comments that shouldn't be scanned over. It's not a daily use product. It's a go-to product for use when things aren't normal. I can tell you that SD removed scratches that other compounds failed to remove...and in that situation finished nicely compared to how it would finish on much softer paints. You have to realize that if M105 and yellow LC CCS pad on a rotary wasn't removing the problem, that any scratches you might normally see on much softer will not show up because obviously, the paint is much harder.

Here's my example:
In the photo below, M105, 3M EX, would not touch these door handles even with a small wool pad on rotary, although M105 worked great for the rest of the panels with foam. Keep in mind I kept rotary speed as slow as I could get it, so that could have been a big factor in why the other compounds didn't work. I doubt if 800rpm's had the wool fibers pulled as tight as they should be to cut properly. The flip side of that is I was new to using a rotary on paint at the time and the fact that with a small area like that things can go wrong in a hurry, so I took it slow. That same small wool pad with SD did the trick though. Results are what I was seeking. I didn't care if I had the rotary at the proper speed, or used proper technique to pull the wool fibers tight enough to cut harder. In keeping things slow I also did not generate the heat that was possible with more speed. Unfortunately I did not get a photo of the finished door handles afterwards. However, when the panels got shined up properly those door handles sure looked odd in comparison until I tried the 3M SD on them. That did the trick.

I like Dodo juice lime prime & i always prefer polishes which won't dry quickly on me , I also used meguiars black wax as polish wipeon/wipeoff & actually it worked pretty good, considering these two products which other polishes you guys recommend,
Thanks
