New to forum and could use a little advice on some product selection! My wife recently purchased a 2007 Mazda 3 red, the car had been on the lot for some time and repeatedly washed with a brush. I`ve tried buffing by hand and of course no good results. I plan on buying an UDM and would like to get one of the bundled deals on Autopia or Autogeek. My question is what products should I go with, Sonus, Pinnacle XMT or Menzena.

I think maybe the problem is that your question is too general and subject to personal preference. I would suggest trying any of the products you mentioned and practice your technique. Get a few foam pads to work with your UDM (cutting, polishing, finishing) and maybe a finishing polish and a mild compound to correct the paint. Most of the products mentioned over and over again on this forum work as advertised, it`s more a matter of practicing your technique and personal preference of the product line.



If you`re anywhere near Greenville, you can try some of the products I have.

Of the three product lines you mention, Pinnacle and Menzerna seem to get the best reviews here. I haven`t read much about Sonus compounds but I`m sure they have their fans, too. Also check Optimum, which is what I`m planning to get for an all-purpose polish.
