Some Meg`s polishes (e.g., #9) are very mild and are available OTC. They have fillers/oils though, which the FP doesn`t.



I`d go to the local autobody/paint supply store and see what they have. My local one still has the 3M PI-III MG (05937) that I like so much and they could order something that`ll suit your needs if they don`t have anything in stock.

If the ol` 05937 is extinct in your area, I think the new VOC complaint 3m Perfect It 3000 polishes ought to do nicely.

3M PerfectIT line would do well.



The only thing by hand worth noting would be Meg`s Scratch X, followed by a glaze.



3M also used to have a hand glaze that worked great, but the Meg`s Deep Crystal #2 glaze is easier to use.

Doc Holiday- That PI-II FCRC is an OK substitute for PI-III RC (05933) but it`s a bit harsh for what I think dtailmycar is after.



mblgjr- The Deep Crystal #2 and the 3M IHG are nonabrasive, so I`m not sure those would fit the bill either. That Scratch-X is a great OTC idea, somehow I never seem to think of it. Color-X might be another option, IIRC it has some very fine diminishing abrasives in it too.



Bill D- After finding the PI-3K RC to be significantly different from the 05933 I`ve been leery of trying the PI-3K SMR in place of 05937 so I hesitate to recommend it (with no first-hand experience). You know how I am about sticking with known quantities :o
