Best "Jeweling" Combo? M205, PO85RD, PO106FA/FF

[sportscarhiatus]

I just wanted to ask you fellow AGers what your favorite last step/jeweling polish and pad combo is? You know...that one last step right after using a heavier polish, and right before applying an LSP.

I have used both M205 and PO85RD with a gray LC pad to fantastic results. I thought WG Finishing Glaze was just ok... Menz Final Polish II was just ok too. I have yet to try PO106FA/FF. In fact, I haven't even tried M205 or PO85RD with a red or blue LC pad.

What's your guys' favorite polish/pad combo for that final swirl-free, mar-free jeweled look?

I was using a flat gray LC pad with 85RD but the HT crimson has taken the place of the gray pad.

Paints react differently, that's why it's a good idea to test to one spot before tackling the entire car... that said, I've found the Menzerna finishing polishes to all work great on the widest range of paints...

Well of course it is. Who do you think was one of the people to turn me onto it

85RD and/or 106FF for me.

I've used both and I have never noticed a difference between these two in terms of the final finish that they give. Both are superb!

Now to jewel, you guys are using a pad that does not cut? like the ccs white or gray/black pad?

The white pad is a polishing pad and can be used, but the black or blue pad with 85rd will give you a better finish.

Post some pictures. A red Z06 polished to perfection will look awesome.
