    WG Finishing Glaze has the same cut as Megs 205...BUT it finishes down better, better than most polishes in fact...WG Finishing Glaze is a no brainer in my view in place of 205.

    However 105/205 are NOT the same as WG twins in terms of the 105/WG swirl remover half of the twin combos. 105 is pretty much the industry standard in terms of correcting paint that's in pretty darn bad shape.

    Again, if you don't need the correction that 105 will give....the WG twins may be the perfect alternative to 105/205 (if you already have the WG twins)

    I haven't used WG FG very much but that was because I found 205 to have more cut. So I use 205. If I want more gloss over 205 I step to 85RD

    105 has more cut than WG TSR but I have a place for both of those. They are both go to polishes for me along with 205 and 85RD.

    If I had it to do over again I would try out Megs UC before buying a big bottle of 105 like I did.

    Thats pretty much correct but 205 is more aggresive than FG in my experience.

    The WG twins are definitely not for paint in bad shape as stated above. I will say WG TSR works flawlessly on single stage oxidized paint. Much easier than105.

    Skip the WG twins and use Menz Power Finish. Almost the same cut as WG TSR, but finishes very close to WG FG.

    Also the technical terms that WG twins are both a Diminishing Abrasive Technology product where the Meguiar's duo are Small Micro Abrasive Technology product.

    Mark's nailed this one dead center!

    Menzerna makes some great polishes and these are my go to polishes. I do have others but I like Menzerna's performance and variety regarding cut and gloss. When I recommend a series of polishes to try this bundle fits the bill quite nicely..

    Menzerna Power Gloss, Power Finish & Super Finish Bundle, Menzerna Polishes Combo, Nano Polish, Power Finish Polish, Power Gloss Compound

    That's interesting. I have a sample of WG TSR that I haven't tried yet.

    Are you saying that it won't finish down as nice if used as a one stepper on LC orange the way Power Finish does?
    I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.
