What's the best for car "A" might not be the best for car "B". Or it might not work at all to the users satisfaction.

Like we always say........ TEST SPOTS!!

Its "favorite". Not necessarily the best. 3D One can cut more than PF for instance but PF is still my favorite to work with. The finish is better than 3D one too in my limited experience.

I'm gonna have to say its Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover (TSR) w a foam pad for me. I used to love Griots Boss Fast Correcting or Correcting Cream but all of their stuff gummed up like crazy for me this week when I used it. TSR was a little dusty but it got the job done and was easy to remove.

Absolutely. My process is never locked in to one specific pad paired to one specific polish/grade of polish.

I might start with a particular go-to combination as a starting point, but I'll always adjust as needed based on results. This is the main reason I'll always start a job with at least two different level of cut pads and at least two different levels of polishes.

Just an update on this topic. I just used LABOCOSMETICA LEALE(cope and paste lol) to remove 2 coats of cancoat on my bonnet, i had like 10 high spots! - its better than perfect finish - zero dust, it was overcast and all that jazz but the user experience was better.

I done a polishing step with my griots 15mm DA, orange HDO/CCS with leale and then i followed it up with gyeon primer and a lake country orange SDO pad, it looks great! haha

I've changed my polishing style this year; i do 2 sections at about 8-10x my pad size before i go back and remove the polish residue, so its important to me if the polish doesn't stick to the paint quickly. Leale was super easy "today".

My favorite is Meguiars M205 w/Lake Country Orange HDO Foam Pad.

Big fan of the orange SDO/HDO+CCS polishing pad.

My favorite pads. The orange HDO with CCS is a real gem of a pad. I love the orange SDO too.

I’ve seen your posts. I was equally excited back when I 1st got my hands on them. I’m to the point where I need to pretty much replace them all and buy a new large batch after about 3yrs. of good use. They’re not cheap, but when it comes to pads like that, you get what you pay for.
