    Compounds,polishes, swirl remover and glaze.

    Hey guys I'm opening up my own shop very soon and I was wondering whAt you guys recommend for a non filler set of these items. Prefferably the same brand and gallon sizes I'm going to be doing a lot of paint correction and would like to have a products completely corrected and never reoccur? Thanks guys oh and price isn't an issue I'm looking or quality products. I like to say quality over quantity haha.

    I prefer Meguiars 105 and 205 combo and the Optimum line up of compound and polishes.
    Can I ask what you have been using in your shop at the dealership? I saw where you said you were getting great results, will you not be using any of the same products?

    Re: Compounds,polishes, swirl remover and glaze.

    Why not use the same products that you mastered the buffing wheel with? I find having a few polishes on hand is very helpful as different paints react differently to different polishes. I find 105/205 can work for most of my requirements. I have the full line of Menzerna polishes on hand for jobs that need them and I find myself using OPT Spray compound and polish pretty often also.

    Another thing ...............you are looking for products without fillers but have glazes listed in the title. Most glazes have fillers in them just so you are aware but this depends on what you mean by glazes since there is no clear cut definition for a "glaze"

    Dr oldz. I use the glaze after I correct the paint after my polish to give the paint s little extra pop and gloss I don't use it for hiding anything it's more like a finishing thing to make the paint look even better. And I still use presta I'm just open for suggestions considering there's so much out there to try and I've had a few cars with very hard clears that even my ultra cutting creme couldn't remove. Thanks

    Stick with Malco, then...Their products are not inexpensive.
