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

[Stlchucky]

Apex detailing done a video using only hand cream and an aggressive pad, it did cut. Pads are arguably more important according to that test/video. Which makes sense to me.

I have trouble with megs polish, seems to leave something on the paint.

I have to use a mix of 2/3rds old fashioned windex and 1/3 acetone as a panel wipe after it.

I have had good luck with Blackfire primer polish, finishes well behind Griots Boss fast correcting cream.

I’m going to say Scholls S30+. Have only used a couple finishing polishes though but this just seemed to finish the best on my soft black paint. This with an Orange SDO pad took care of minor swirls for me and finished amazingly.

S40 for pure jeweling, but I find the finish on S40 and S30 to be just as good as one another, with S30 having a bit more bite about equal to Megs 205. S40 is that next level that is just a step I can’t justify.

It's a photo finish, 2nd place goes to Car Pro Essence and the win goes to Menzerna SF 3800.

Probably not.

I like Jescar Micro Polish, and Optimum Hyper Polish these days.

If I don't completely off my stock of the new Rupes polishes, the Uno Pure is pretty good.

Menzerna's green line just arrived in Canada. I wonder if they are any different..i was thinking of asking my main distributor. He's a big fan of FG400.

Functions like the original without the smell.

I recently used some 3D HD Polish+ that I had sitting around unused from a while back and have absolutely fallen in love with its gloss, work time, and easy wipe off. Not in love with the fact that it has been discontinued. I emailed 3D and they recommended the ACA 520 or AAT 502 products as substitutes. Probably going to try the AAT 502 b/c of the price (i.e. $29.99/qt.

Also gave MegÂ’s m210 a run on a few panels recently, but I was not impressed with it. WasnÂ’t easy to wipe off and was not strong enough to remove light wash marring that accumulated since my carÂ’s last annual polish. I really do think this is a product specifically catered to softer clears, as MegÂ’s frequently referenced in their videos and forum posts about the product. I would not recommend m210 for medium to hard clears based on my experience thus far. Another thing I noticed was that my Duragloss coating did not bond properly on the panels I used 210 on, in spite of using DGÂ’s Squeaky Clean cleaner before application of the coating and letting the car cure overnight in the garage. Not sure what went wrong; heavy fillers/oils, possibly?

I've run into situations where ACA520 left marring, where AAT502 didn't. I would say AAT502 would be the finest dedicated polish they currently offer. 3D ONE has also left marring in those situations.

I would love to see 3D come out with a polish that has the same abilities as Speed, cut, ease of removal, etc without the protection element for those times I want to follow with something other than a wax/sealant

That might well be AAT 502, I just haven’t tried it yet
