Need advice on Polishing
I have an '08 Camry that I take good care of and keep it garaged. It is a daily driver for me and I like to keep it clean. I've owned it 1 year and wash with Megs Gold Class and use the 2 bucket method. I also waxed it twice using Gold Class Liquid Wax. I am interested in trying the Megs Ultimate Paste Wax and was wondering if I should use the Ultimate Polish on it before I wax it. I do all work by hand and the paint is in very good condition. When I read about the polish here at the AG store, I got the impression that the polish is intended to be used with the Ultimate Compound. I don't think I need to compound. Should I just wash and wax, or is the polish something I should consider using before wax? I do appreciate your suggestions.

Yes Ultimate Polish was designed as a follow up to Ultimate Compound, but that doesnt mean you cant use it as a stand alone product. Ultimate Polish is very similar to M205.
Since youll be working by hand, you wont get the full benefit of what Ultimate Polish has to offer, and that is its ability to permanently remove fine swirls & scratches. You'll need a DA polisher in order to do that, thats not to say working by hand cant achieve good results, you can, just nowhere near as good as using a DA with a foam pad.
With that said, if your paint is in great condition, applying Ultimate Polish by hand will give you better results than if you didnt apply any type of polish. Megs Gold Class Liquid Wax isnt good at all in my opinion. I think you will like Ultimate Paste or Liquid wax alot better. Take note, its not actually a "wax", its actually Meguiars longest lasting sealant that beads water like crazy.
Heres a picture of my car using Ultimate Paste Wax.
Note that this is on highly polished paint using a DA polisher, though by hand you should be able to get similar results. Personally I prefer the warm pop of a carnuba wax like M26 or the super slick glossy shine of M21. Youll find that there are better waxes/sealants out on the market, as Meguiars really excels on their polishes, on their LSP's eh not so much.
