    A Good One Step Compound & Polish

    Hey Everyone,

    Looking for some advice on buying a good 1-step compound. Something that can cut, and finish down like a polish. Was thinking of something like Sonax Cut & Finish. SONAX Cut & Finish

    Was looking at the All-In-One's like HD Speed, but I want to be able to put my own sealant on after polishing. I know you can top HD Speed and others, but why have that wax in there if you're just going to top it with something better?

    So what's your recommendation for a good product that can cut and finish in 1 step?

    Will be working by machine (MT-300) and have cutting/polishing/finishing pads + microfiber cutting/finishing pads.

    Thanks Everyone!

    griots fast finish is great, finishes near perfect
    megs d300 has also worked out great for me
    I have used Sonax and that also had wax ready results

    You could try using those uro-fiber pads from buff and shine. I can't wait to pick some up.

    Cut & Finish works great. It will suit your needs for a one step compounding polish. Good cut and good finish.

    I used it with the Meguiar's burgundy foam discs, Buff & Shine Uro Fiber and Griots boss microfiber pads. Worked with each pad combination. I used it with my Rupes MKII but I don't see an issue with the MT300 and those pad combinations.

    •What you're asking for is, more
    often than not, paint dependent.
    -"The Test Spot" will be the key
    "determiner".

    •Take Meguiar's Ultimate Compound
    for an example:
    -It's finished down LSP-ready, at least in
    my assessment, on most occasions.

    -However...there's been a rare occasion
    or two where I had to follow it up with a
    mild polish for the paint to be at the LSP
    ready stage...and I don't call it a deal
    breaker based on that factoid.

    I like Wolfgang Uber and Wolfgang TSR. Both cut and finish pretty fricking awesome.
    Back to the full-time grind.
