Id return 105 and 205. To a newbie they can be a nightmare.

You can also return Ultimate Polish. SF4500 and UP are pretty much the same (with regards to their purpose) and SF4500 is the better choice.

Keep Ultimate Compound and SF4500

IMHO I would not return anything. You have a good selection of products that will produce some great results.

If your just working on your own vehical,and have not done the "Test Spot" you have a good variety to choose from to get the results your looking for.

start with the least eggressive and work your way up to find whats going to work for you and your paint.

If you end up not using some of the products you could offer them up for a trade for something you might like to try later.

Really??????? 205 a nightmare to use? I beg to differ its juat as easy to use as SF4500.

Granted UP might not be needed but we don't know what the op is working on....and what the condition of the paint is.

How can you recommend something ,you know nothing about.105 can be a little tricky sometimes with all the variables involved but by no means that compund is not for newbies.

we all were newbies once......and polishes or compounds are new the first time you try them are they not?

The first time I tried 105 I hated it......but continued to read and research the practices of some great people here and have dialed in a process with 105 that I love and I use it often,Just like the rest of list.

and there are few more I use......there is no one single compound or polish that will do everthing all the time.

I think what Andrew meant is that the 105/205 combo isnt exactly for newbies. Personally I dont recommend that product combo for folks new to the detail scene.

I always recommend their baby brothers, UC & UP. Thats just my opinion and from observation of new comers using 105/205 and end up with....not so great results when otherwise more experienced users would of had otherwise.

Keep them all. I have about 7 different polishes or more. Still will buy more. Seems some days one works better then the other, depends on paint, humidity, pad, pressure. Id just go for it and have fun. Plus somedays I like to try something different. The 105/205 is a pretty sure fire combo but somedays I just want to change it up.

So True!!!!!

......there is no one single compound or polish that will do everthing all the time.

I would even mix them (D300 + a bit of M105 = a bit more bite).

I would keep them and in fact buy more. Don't underestimate what having a good selection of products and pads can do for finicky finishes
