    I like the Sonax polishes. If you don't want to have a heavy cut compound as Cutmax is. You could get the Cut and Finish and EX 04-06 or Perfect Finish. EX 04-06 is made for orbital polishers and Perfect Finish is rotary version but works as great with a orbital polisher too. Then you have a combo of great medium cut polish and polish/finishing polish. That is versitale if a polish is not enough and still finish great on hard paints with Cut and Finish.

If you do indeed have the McKee's 37 compound, then that should be able to finish down to your liking. If that is not the compound you are referring to, my recommendation would be either 3D One or the Griot's Fast Correcting Cream/Correcting Cream as mentioned above.
    Yeah that's the one... No wonder I couldn't find it.

    imo it's a little too strong for a one off. Leaves little haze that needs to be finished off with something else.

    I consider that an "all in one".

    I believe 1 step is a surface prep that is done in 1 step. As in you don't need correcting compound followed by finishing compound (2 step).

    A DAT would be a 1 step I'd think.

    That's why I explained what I was referring to. Everyone call them sometbing else lol.

    I just Googled the sonax 4/6. I think I'll give that a try... I'm actually going there to get the sonax wheel sealant lol.

    I've always liked German stuff. Should work well with thr hybrid force orange pads and the flex.

    I think more people get perfect finish to use on a DA than a rotary. You’ll be fine with that one.

    Hyper Polish is a 1 step? I was sure it was a finishing polish. I got to try Optimum's polishes at some point.

    Essence is really picky about conditions you work in. If you work outside, don't work it long or it will turn into glue and get unremovable from the panel. If you work inside a garage, some people like it for light correction with a polishing pad. Personally, I only use it as a glaze prior to coating. So finishing pad, 1 medium pass, 1 fast pass and 1 super fast pass. It does make the paint shine quite a lot.

    Ya terms get thrown around looselly in the detailing industry, I don't know why that is.

    I am with you on this one, a one step for me is a one step polish. Otherwise it's called an all in one when it also includes a last step product. But people think "hey, it does all of it in one step"... they are not wrong but why they are thinking about is an all in one I even mentioned this to the new guys doing the AG videos now... they held on to their guns and said that no, a compound/polish/wax is a one step... so what can you do?
