Favorite must have general paint polish?

[BTLew81]

I typically use M205 for general polishing and have a couple of compounds on hand when needed. I do a few cars for money each year, but typically maintaining my grey vw Tiguan and my wife’s grey GMC Terrain. Both very well kept and get a polish or two a year. Using a gg 6 with buff and shine pads. What would you suggest as a good, easy to use general polish? Don’t want to go crazy on price. Nothing wrong with 205, just curious if you have other suggestions. Thanks.

Menzerna SF3800 and 3M Ultra Fine 3000 are my go to polishes.

Menzerna 3500 and 3800, rupes ultrafine

How much difference between the two? I know what the chart says, but when would you pick one over the other?

Also, can anybody explain when to use the middle-range Menzerna polishes (2000-2500)? And of all the choices, which one is the go-to for non pros? Or is the answer to just use what is branded Jescar since there are fewer options?

•To appropriate some of Meguiar’s vernacular:

-Meguiar’s M205 is my favorite Paint Cleaner.

-3M IHG is my favorite Paint Polish.

Wondering the same thing. Perhaps Jescar polish is a good one size.

M205, M09, Menzerna 3500, Rupes Keramik.

I used to use Ultimate Polish a lot. But moved to M205 for the convenience of having the gallon option. I probably use M205 the most.

M205 and Hyper polish. SF3800 is nice but I only use it when absolutely necessary.

Menzerna pf2500 is a very underated polish. It's a very good one step product. I keep a bottle in stock for that reason. More than once I have used it with a microfiber cutting pad for a awesome one step correction where there aren't too many RIDS.
